she's not there

yamamanamaWe have three gray foxes.
We have multiple geese and swans with lead poisoning.
Someone came in with a black-crowned night heron that apparently crash landed in the road somewhere, and Primrose is trying to identify it and said something like "uh, it's a bird. its eyes are red." So I'm going through Wikipedia's list of birds of Massachusetts and saying "ok, it's definitely not a gannet or a rail or a merganser... could it be a grebe?" and Primrose is looking through a bird book and then Greg walked in and he's like "what you have here is a black-crowned night heron" and talked about the harbor islands.
Primrose can't chalk it up to being from a place where there aren't any night herons.
That narrows it down. She's not Eastern European or Australian. I'll give you a hint: all the ardeids recorded there have been recorded here.
She can, however, chalk it up to never seeing the damn thing. I know what a night heron is only because I've seen one at the wildlife center. She can chalk it up to night herons not having the characteristic long neck of egrets and great blue herons and tricolor herons.
Margo wanted to hollow out some peppers and stuff them with a mixture of dog food and berries for them. Josh said "raccoons aren't fucking hotel guests." The rest of them were making raccoon food using canned dog food and fish.
AJ says he's never seen seagulls eat anything but french fries so there's no reason we can't put pineapple and orange and grapefruit and other things that neutralize in their food. Actually he said that three weeks ago.
He said he wanted to inhale some bleach just so he didn't have to deal with the fish. Or maybe that was Walker. I have no idea.
Margo's mom's psychic friends were super convinced she'd be a boy so for the first year of her life, they weren't prepared at all so there are pictures of her in boy's clothing.
I usually like to bring up what Talia is eating but this time I didn't get close enough to see. Someone, possibly named Olivia, was eating a mixture of orzo, kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, and chicken.
She said her friend's dog looks like a loaf of bread with Talia. Who am I referring to? I have no idea.
This is the screech owlet. Jack finally got around to posting on their facebook page, although he posted the wrong link on Twitter. I'd have posted the generic Facebook bandaged thumbs up. So apparently the owl came in sick with diarrhea and general weakness and then he got better and we stuck him in another nest because owls don't know how to count while geese and ducks apparently don't give a shit. This may be wrong information. I've never seen a baby barred owl but that doesn't mean we haven't had them show up or that barred owls are found under cabbage leaves as adults.
If I'm right, we're only getting success stories on their Facebook page so a lot of cool animals like the night heron are going to pass under everyone's radar, and that's why we didn't get the screech owlet picture until it was out of our hands.
Some kid asked Jack if they named the animals but I missed whatever his answer was.
burning question: is she still pissing in the river now?
