I went to take the nightly kitchen trash out and look what popped out at me.....scared the bajezus outta me at first!
His mama must have booted him from the nest and he has taken up residence (hopefully temporary) in my purple Iris flowerbed.
Maybe 8 inches long (see how big the Iris leaves are compared to him/her), plus a nasty scrape to the left of his nose...it's possible that a hawk accidentally dropped him in our yard too (yes, we have Bald Eagles here too).
I took a few pictures before it got too dark, and left a saucer of water and chunks of raw hamburger and turkey deli meat slices.
Isn't he/she cute though....for a weasel?!
The purple Iris flowerbed....
Just went back outside to check on the little fart - the meat is gone and it looks like he/she's comfortablely in the Iris's for tonight. Once again he literally ran right up to my foot making chirping sounds....NO, I am NOT your mom!
Darrell is gonna be sooooo P.O.'ed if I "adopt" one more creature!
