The Things You See!
When we go for our walks on the property we often see deer and turkeys and other wildlife, but what a surprise on Thursday to see an EMU!! We put out feed which it ate in hopes that it would stay around til we could investigate who might own it. Friday we found them and they came out after work to see about it. By then it was nowhere to be seen, But Saturday morning there she was across the street in a barbed wire enclosed field how did she get in?
We called the owner who came with a tranquilizer gun but it didn’t stop her! Against good advice he then chased her and she went right through the fence and who knows where she is now! I hope she is not hurt!

WOW! Since she was running “wild” I think you could count her on your Life Bird List! Lucky you.

Del, I never thought of that, but yes! She was (is) in the wild now!
There very well could be a quilt in this, Barb. Who knows, I got some decent pictures. I saw her again yesterday but the owner didn’t get my message til late and didn’t come. I have no idea how he will catch her, but at least she’s still around – I figured she’d be in the next county after Saturday’s fiasco.
