It’s a High Rise

While I haven’t been looking this week, Zorro and Esperanza have been busy building their high rise apartment. Compared to their nest not too long ago after the wind storm, they have been really working hard. Within ten days, in between fishing and lovemaking they’ve managed to create […]

NOTE: If you’re unable to view the video above, try the one below for an international version. The critters at the manor had a lovely evening dinner buffet. Click and watch the action as it plays out through the evening. It’s nice that they shared. May you have […]
