Kansas Dresners: Ferrets and Flowers

Ferrets and Flowers

	Max and I went by the park one afternoon last week, and a couple had brought their ferrets out for a bit of fresh air. They let the kids -- who gathered around the portable pen immediately -- walk them, and hold them. Needless to say, Max talked about getting a ferret for a pet all the way home. The picture below is from Parsons, but it could be from anywhere around here: we had some serious thunderstorms and straight-line windstorms: lots of billboard damage, trampolines in soybean fields, and big trees.

	Squirrels! The conclave to the left was on campus: six squirrels all digging for nuts and seeds around this one tree. The two pictures below are from Lakeside Park: First, a squirrel so busy with foraging that he forgot to be nervous when we walked by. Second, the grackle was trying to run the squirrel off, but I'm not entirely sure why.

Flowers and Bugs

Update: Northern Harrier (female). This is the kind of raptor we've been seeing all over SE Kansas. This one was in our backyard while I was mowing this morning!

I am just amazed by how Max is growing. And, by all the photos, I can see that he's been a very busy kid!

Thanks for updating. :)
