So apparently we have multiple chickens on the loose. Strange days my friends, strange days indeed.

Ed. Note: God it’s been lovely enjoying these last couple of weeks without them. When do you think they’ll start coming this year?
“Dear PoPville,
Just thinking it might be time for another mosquito control post. I’d love to hear what people think about:
A) whether spraying for mosquitos works (especially the ‘natural’ kind) and B) whether there is any point in spraying if your neighbors don’t (won’t mosquitos just come our property from theirs?). C) Any specific companies people recommend/dis-recommend?”
Thanks to Gabe for sending:
“Always great to get a reminder that there’s some pretty cool wildlife in the park!
Also, dog owners should always keep their pets on-leash in the park. This fella had multiple bite marks in his or her shell (as well as a front claw that appears to have taken some damage at some point), and it seems pretty unlikely a fox or coyote would go after something this big. Hopefully this one made it back to the creek unmolested!”

This shot taken by Susan in The Palisades feels right.

Thanks to Judith for sending this mesmerizing video. Ed. Note: I’ve watched it 10 times and my blood pressure has decreased 7 points with every viewing. “Our turkey was strutting his/her stuff on Fort Reno. Footage shot by my friend Rachel Garrett.” (more…)
