Happy Animal Wednesday - July 2nd

I wish this was posted "In Memorium" but it isn't!  He's still out there, eating my plants.  Meanwhile some additional information on these animals below. I'm starting to admire the darn rodents. 

Woodchuck babies video - damn - they are cute.  

An article from 1904 about Woodchucks and chickens.

Ours snuck into the Hav-a-Heart Trap and then neatly snuck out again.  Clever animal. 

Animal Wednesday - parrot

I did this guy in plain pencil first and liked him...then messed him up with color - but I think I've rescued him - I had gotten his eyes wrong at first.   They are a little bit intense here, next time I'll pay more attention to a bird's eye. 

HAW to everyone today - give a hug to all your animals!
