The back yard of this house is the whole reason we bought the place. Not that it doesn't have other good aspects, but the yard was the thing that really made this place stand out from the other houses in the Antelope Valley. My favorite feature is the thickly wooded (desert wooded) slope in the back.
This slope is the only one as thickly vegitated in the area, so it has become a sanctuary for bunnies and racoons, a stalking ground for at least 6-8 cats, a refuge for dozens of species of birds, including about three species of humming bird, and even a rat.
I've seen a hawk kill a pigeon in the yard, I've seen a hummingbird display really odd behavior, twice, and a lizzard entered the bedroom through a hole in the screen from the back yard. Twice. JJ and I heard coyote disturbingly near one midnight while we sat back there discussing life.
Even in my fantasies of this place before we knew we could buy it, I didn't think the back yard would be as entertaining as it has been. But by now, I thought it had revealed all of its surprises, but there was one more.
A chicken.
More accurately, a rooster. Kelly saw him late Saturday afternoon as I was on the phone with my mom. I didn't quite buy that a chicken was in our yard, and thought Kelly was crazy. Well...

He really is a beautiful chicken. Probably worth some $$. I wonder if he was trained to fight? Has he been aggressive at all?

Very informative, thank you. I’ve been blogging on and off for almost 3 years, but have never had much of a focus – I tend to just write about whatever is on my mind when I feel like writing.
Cheers!

I have a great chicken flavouring recipe I've developed, but I only share it with people who return emails. Or with friendly birds in the yard. Although, with our families' experience with chicken slaughter, it may be best to let your rooster friend live on.

There are two theories as to the origin of Charlie's "yardbird" nickname
1. He lived "free as a bird."
2. When touring with Jay McShann, they accidentally hit a chicken (a yardbird) with their car and Parker made them stop to pick it up so he could have his landlady cook it for him.

Sure, Moss only had 89 yards receiving yesterday, but he had 10 catches, no drops, and one of the biggest plays of the game with a catch in coverage at the 1-yard line. Galloway had three catches for a pretty significant 88 yards, including that gorgeous bomb that set up a touchdown. While the guy is not as explosive as he was, he is a guy who won't drop easy passes and will run pretty good routes.

When i walked out my door this morning I say a bird that looks strange. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is?
Description:
It has a very dark blue back and a white belly.
When I tried to feed it bread it would not eat it.
My mother thinks it is a woodpecker but my sister said all woodpeckers have red on their head.

"Entstehung der Bezeichnung „Handy“
Zur gängigen Bezeichnung für die neu eingeführten GSM-Mobiltelefone bürgerte sich ab etwa 1992 in der deutschen Umgangssprache der Begriff „Handy“ ein. Zur Entstehung des Begriffs gibt es zahlreiche widersprüchliche Erklärungsansätze.

Angkor Wat has been the most impressive cultural site I've seen during my travels throughout Asia & it can actually take several days to get around the major temples.
