Here is a photo Kathryn took of a really beautiful bird. (Unfortunately, it was no longer alive.) We thought it was an adult female Pyrrhuloxia (a type of cardinal). Her red eyebrow was very unique.

Maybe she is a new blend!!

When Austin (another lamb – son of Mrs. Bigglesworth and brother to Mini Me) went to live with Nibbles, Nibbles thought Austin was her pet! Both sheep are doing well at their new
