    One of our kitties would have thought he was big and bad enough to take this “chicken” on the other would have run away scared!

    That chicken’s beak seems to be a bit peculiar. I think he might be wearing a mask to fool you kitties.

      From the way that this guy was pecking at his reflection in the glass, we suspect his ladybird is sitting on eggs right now and he’s feeling territorial. With luck, maybe we’ll see the whole family soon!

    That is quite the birdy! We see Blue Herons outside our window, but never a crane. That bird must have been really curious about what you kitties were doing. Maybe he’s a spy for the chickens! 😉

    These are the most incredible photos ever. If we saw this, we’d probably faint. Mom just saw a video on the TV with a kitty attacking a window that had a black bear on the outside. It must be fun to live where interesting creatures also abide. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    Whoa…that is awesome! I think I might run for the hills if that guy showed up so close in my window, you are brave Pierre! I guess Ashton is not impressed though.
