Ace of Spades Pet Thread, May 23

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Thanks for stopping by. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.

Nobody asked him to.

Nobody was watching.

He just saw something needed doing and did it.

The world runs on moments exactly this small.pic.twitter.com/DGMoQykuQD

We love him, Piper!

A pair of cardinals decided to raise a family in one of my lilacs in the corner of my yard. There are a couple of chicks in the nest and I try to avoid that corner of the yard.

This morning the baby cardinals were out of their nest for the first time, so I could finally get their pictures. The nest is very close to my back fence so I couldn't get in close enough to get pictures of the eggs or newly-hatched chicks. These guys should soon leave the nest for good, so now I wonder if the parents will raise a second family in it? Or build a new nest in a new location?

Well, that worked out great! Glad you were able to get photos of the babies before they left the nest! They still have nest-head, a little.

A birb, a snek, and a turtle all walk into a weekend post

Hi Katy, some recent wildlife sightings for the Gardening-Nature weekend post. I don't know what kind of bird that is, looks like a bird of prey of some type. All seen here in east Tennessee.

Thank you!

Oh, my! Nice variety of critters. Any guesses on the species?

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, May 16

I closed the comments on that post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
