Interesting day with Tasha in Ted’s pen with him and neither one that excited. Sharon’s best guess is that Tasha climbed a tree to get catkins and came down on the side toward Ted’s pen and ended up inside it.
Holly Two Lily Fans captured video that tells the story. In short, Ted paid little attention and was more interested in getting out for his walk by the pond. Tasha was concerned but is learning that Ted doesn’t chase her, and she never looked frantic to me. I think it was a good learning experience for Tasha. I hope she comes to trust and accept Ted and maybe have him be her play buddy like Ted was for Lucky for years.

Sharon captured a nice picture of Holly.
SparrowIt was beautiful out the window on this calm, clear day. The rising sun made the birds look beautiful in the greenery of their favorite escape tree-a big balsam fir tree with bushy branches. An anxious fox sparrow was singing in that tree even though it’s not near the breeding grounds yet.
