With great despair today’s update for Zorro and Esperanza isn’t cheerful. I visited them two days ago, sitting in their high rise apartment, tending to it, making it perfect for the kids to come. Esperanza appeared that she was about to lay her first egg, but hadn’t quite […]
Ok, so are you ready for cuteness overload? Well I certainly am! Determined to have a “baby week” last week, I went in search of babies. It took traveling to three states, but totally worth the effort. Today’s darlings are the fox kits at Bombay Hook National Wildlife […]
