This morning my older Scotty Watson really wanted to go out, sitting
by the studio door and looking at me. He rarely does this so I looked
out my windows towards the citrus trees and who was taking a nap in
one of the watering wells ? but the Leader of the Pack.
Needless to say Watson and Hamish did not get to go out and bark at
the Javelinas. Bad bad puppies !
Off to the side the rest of the herd were just walking around
quacking. . .
Side note:
This looks like a new young leader, I don't know what happened to the
older leader over the summer when they were up in the mountains where
it was cooler. I need to watch the herd over the next few weeks to see
who is who. Maybe it is the same leader but he is acting not as laid-
back as last year.
The white paint is to keep the anti-fungus medicine on the bark of the
citrus trees.

Wow, I am really sorry we missed seeing any of them while we were there!!

ReplyDeleteSorry you missed them too but they are back now, winter is coming.
They kicked a young male out of the herd and he follows them at a distance. I know it is Nature but seeing him all by himself breaks my heart. I worry about when winter comes and it drops down to freezing who will he curl up with ?... just what I need more to worry about.
How exrtaordinary. You got me googling. It would scare me if I came across it.
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of you for this, I remember you posting about the Javelinas before, they are such odd-cute looking creatures.
ReplyDeleteVery sad about the young male; I wonder what he did though?

ReplyDeleteThere can only be one strong leader and so I think the younger males get run off.
Wow so cute. Yuko loved it too. You're soo lucky to live there.

ReplyDeleteYes I am lucky but some times it is sad for me too, when something bad happens and you can't do anything to help.
Oh. . . I saw a Beautiful Coopers Hawk sitting on my fence today, then he took off and with 2 beats of his wings glided the whole length of my yard. Outstanding !
