Snips and snails and puppy dog tails

We have a boy.  We catch bugs and things.
Picture
Nothing is better than a good catch!  We look up our finds on the internet to learn about them.  This Eastern Tiger Swallowtail was beautiful!  

We watch the bugs and animals for awhile and then let them go back to their homes and families.

Unfortunately, this harmless bull snake didn't move when we released him in the morning.  We only had him overnight!  He must have been sick to begin with and that is why I caught him so easily.  (I am a pro at catching animals without touching them.  It is a matter of cornering them so they have to go into a container.)
Picture
Sorry, I am a nurse, we looked into his mouth to see if he had teeth.  Two little tiny fangs were tucked in his upper jaw.

One morning, my son was thrilled to wake up and see this little baby bunny in the window well outside his window.  Dad opened the window and caught it for us.  We fed it some of our ginuea pig's hay.  It was so cute we really wanted to keep it!!  But we knew we had to let it go.

My son is taking a picture of a squirrel on top of the rock above his head.  The squirrel is scurrying away.  

He found the squirrel in our window well and was proud to show us his discovery.  Dad opened the window to catch the squirrel and it ran into our house.  Luckliy, I had shut all the doors so it was stuck in one room.  We had a great time chasing the frantic squirrel around!  I was able to corner it and get it into a big box.   The releasing of the squirrel took a split second and it was out of there!



It has been so fun to hunt for animals to catch!  I enter the world of a six year old boy and forget about everything I am not getting done, like the sink full of dishes and the piles of laundry!

I hope your summer has been full of fun times!

Love,
Alison

I have been reading many articles on the same issue but found this one uniquely written. You covered almost every point over the topic.
