1st I want to comment on the excitement of SNOW!!!! Woke up this morning got ready, opened my garage door & there was snow! Finally I've been waiting. And thank goodness too, because this morning it was a whole 16 degrees compared to yesterday's 7 (which felt like negative 4 according to the internet)
So last night my dad gave me a lesson on the food chain....
We had these neighbors around the corner from us who used to have ducks in their driveway. They used to put bread out for them and if I remember correctly they had a plastic kiddie pool of water for these ducks during the summer. I haven't seen the ducks in a while - don't know what happened. But anyways - this same house has apparently started putting out bird seed or bread again. My dad drives by and notices that now instead of ducks there are pigeons feasting on this yumminess in their driveway. Which if you ask me is gross - pigeons really are just rats with wings. Now maybe the pigeons in Chico aren't as nasty as those in the big city, but still - pigeons are pigeons. A few days later my dad drives by again and this time notices that there is a hawk in the driveway ....... eating one of the pigeons!!!!! Apparently there was blood and feathers everywhere. There you go - national geographic right in your front yard for all the small neighbor kids to see. Awesome!
