Are They Doing the Chicken Dance?

Well, not exactly . . .

Last week I noticed Midnight standing next to his chair and looking out the window.  He was intently watching something.  Perhaps it was a robin just a bob, bob, bobbing along?  That would surely get my guy’s full attention.  Right?

What does Midnight see?

I walked to the window expecting to see a robin or something like that.  I was wrong.  We’ll it was a bird — a big bird.  In fact, there were two very large birds doing what they do.

The Lunch Bunch Doing the Buzzard Dance.

 Two turkey buzzards were having a snack.  The action had Midnight mesmerized.  I found it interesting too.  We watched for quite a while.  Eventually, they had their fill and flew away. At that point, Midnight and I left the window in search of  more adventure.

Midnight loves to watch the action in his world.  From turkey buzzard to finch, birds are always of great interest to my guy.  His interest is not limited to birds.  If it moves, it deserves inspection.  If it doesn’t move, it should be sniffed.  Then it should be give an exploratory whack with a paw.  Kitty’s world is a place filled with wonders that need to be observed and investigated.  He even loves to watch TV with me.  We frequently do that for an hour or two in the evening.

An hour later, I found Midnight curled up in his chair.  I think he was checking his eye lids for leaks.  Do you ever do that?

  1. Oh, man! And I thought the pigeons that come to our yard were big! Those vultures are like having turkeys in your yard!! YUM! I don't blame Midnight one bit for watching them–but you better keep him in the house. 🙂

  2. Checking for leaks… *chuckle*

    That's a grett shot of midnight there. Full of intensity! He is so sleek. 🙂

    Today's VC: coldesc. That's what you must have done lately. Pressed "COLD" and "ESC" to delete your cold.

  3. Yes, the backs of the eyelids need frequent inspection. Nice action shots of the birds. Midnight keeps you alert to events.
