After 5 days of laying we have our 5th eastern bluebird egg. Mom should start sitting on them and they'll hatch in 12 to 14 days. Will update once we have hatchlings.

Happy March! As long as I can remember, as far as I'm concerned, March 1st marks the beginning of Spring. The blossoms have already been popping out here for the past two weeks. There's also a distinctive change in the air, and when the sun shines, it's pure magic.

In Florida, we get to enjoy a greatly increased number of birds here over the winter. The Tricolor Heron is one that's here year-round. I watched this Tricolor Heron catch and swallow a good breakfast this morning!

🐶🆘DON’T KILL JAMBALAYA

Jambalaya, an affectionate, lazy couch potato, lost her family due to housing

Her family said she’d take some time to warm up to people & that’s just what happened at ACC. She’s now consistently social, loose & wiggly & really loves playing fetch

🐶🆘DON’T KILL SMOKE

Cutie pie Smoke isn’t a fan of other dogs & judging by the scars that criss cross his beautiful face, who could blame him? He came in underweight, his human too ill to care for him now

He loves people though, is easily leashed and eager for company

Happy Caturday! Throwback to 2020, when Fausto was around two years old. We had adopted him the previous year, in October, from the SPCA. Nobody wanted him, and he was quite traumatized, but he has progressively blossomed into a very special fur boy with his own quirky personality.

They hunt during the day by spreading their arms over the reef to trap prey in crevices.

Cookie update. He is such a sweetheart. Very accepting of his indoor life. Seems ready to become a mushy household love bug. Not quite there yet. Still working on a March vet appointment for him. Still separated for now. Just set up a tv for him with an eagle cam. He's not interested. Love you all 🩷

Harley feels the same way about all her foster kitten babies.
