A friend called me, last week, to tell of his unusual wildlife interaction, an up close and personal one kind of like your hubby's. My friend was at a storage unit, a big one, and was lying back in his truck with the back opened yet inside the building. Said he was asleep when something landed on his chest, fluttering and then held still for less than a second. It was a fledgling peregrine falcon! Flew right in the back of the truck and landed on his chest. Once he was awake enough to figure out what was going on it was gone. He figured out what kind of bird it was by the upset parent circling above outside.

These unexpected moments of wildlife interactions are usually amusing.

Great picks and story!

We created a wood pile for the voles, and we did so knowing it would attract owls, hawks, eagles and snakes. Solly Mack Jul 2024 #20
