YOU TALKING TO ME? Ann Baldwin (facebook.com/AnnBaldwinPhotography) in Oceanside, CA, writes about this odd encounter: "I heard a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk c...alling. Then I saw a small bird fly onto a branch very close. I grabbed my camera and could hardly believe what I saw: the Hawk staring at a male House Finch almost beak-to-beak for around 4 minutes. Nature never ceases to amaze!" See more

This plant is killing songbirds across North America! If you have one or see one with berries, cut off the berries and compost them. Nandina domestica (heavenly... bamboo) is from China and so our birds mistake it for a food source. The seeds contain a ton of cyanide and cause a swift and extremely painful death. I cut the berries off my neighbours yesterday, but he said he has already found a few dead birds. Such a simple thing could save hundreds of lives. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3005831/ See more

Amazon has released a warning about counterfeit ear drops. Please be careful if you elect to buy items (even prescription) online, and check out the source as well as possible. We hav spoken with clients that purchased fake Seresto collars. They called the company to verify the lot numbers on the packaging and were told that the product had not been made by the company. There are a lot of unscrupulous people, unfortunately

Something fun for fall ...

Good info from the AKC
