I do have a net and proper pet carrier and food and water if I were to catch the chicken and would have a person who could take her set up before I did anything... And I would take the hen there immediately after catching her. I can always take her to the professional comfort and care at the wildlife rehab center I volunteer at in a pinch. A vet tech there alredy offered to take her but I'm still looking for the best fit for her new home.
OK---Close to sunset baby and adult bunnies are found everywhere along the edges of the reeds and thicker patches of tall flowers in The Park. They are the only animals there that aren't used to people, scampering away as soon as you get near. I'm glad. As much as I enjoy the fact that the animals there are so tame, it's not the best thing for them.... because plenty of people out there do bad things to animals if they can get their hands on them. I was able to snap a pic before this one hightailed it to safety.
All the ducks I've seen sleep with their heads turned back and their beak resting in the feathers, tucked under their wings. This guy looks like he passed out and his beak is holding him up... exhibiting the same fine sense of balance as when they sleep on one foot. Maybe he had a tough night out with the boys. I got closer to see if he was ok. He looked up and said AFFLACK, so I moved on.
I call the one below Three in a Tree. I had given a nice juicy walnut to three different squirrels and they all managed to run up into the nearest tree and perch on a branch stump, as they are wont to do, to eat it. Usually if two squirrels go up the same tree there is a squabble and a comical chase by one after the other. This was an amazing sight, so I tried to get a quick shot. Unfortunately it doesnt show up so well here... but it's enough.
Hope you can see them all. There's one way up on the top left whose tail is facing us.

I glad to hear you're going to rescue the chicken. And that bill-balancing AFFLACK duck is great. I'm sure he's had a tough night—probably out spending his latest royalty check with his fellow waterfowl.
Looks like you've cornered a trio of fox squirrels, too.
Safe journey…
Sydney the pictures are amazing.
I love all of them. They remind me of my BLD fantasy Friday, one for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I knew you must be somewhere with nature.
Love Renee xoxoxo
Hee! hEE! "Afflack"... "Move back!" in "duck?" Lol!
Such great pix Sydney. I love the AFLAC duck. He really does look like he had a bad night doesn't he. Too funny!
Yesterday, I saw 5 squirrels scamper up trees when I let my dog outside. Three went up the same tree, and you would have thought there was a race going on. They chased each other until they were all in separate trees, or at least branches. So much fun to watch them. But they were driving my dog bonkers. He gets more exercise when the squirrels are around as he chases them from tree to tree.
Thanks for sharing.
