The Daily Bucket–Major Crimes, Mammal Division

Name’s Red. Red Woodman, Major Mammal Crimes Detective.  This is supposed to be my last day on the job is I can make it through. Cough. They’ve assigned me a kid nick-named “Lucky” I’m supposed to train to take my place. I’m looking through his resume.  He’d flunked out of...

“Oyez!  The Summer Session of Frog Court is called to order,  Judge Jeramiah Bullfrog presiding,” honked the Bailiff, who was  a Canadian goose. In strode two robed judges, who were six foot tall bullfrogs, trying to walk on two legs, but instead hopping from foot to foot.  The third bullfrog...

The Daily Bucket: Saving the Redwoods #3; We Knocked off a Gas Station.

An Oregon developer of a proposed gas station next to a creek and wetlands has withdrawn his application. In short:  Victory! Withdrawn App, how sweet the sound, Saving trees … thirty feet around. They were doomed on this place, but now are saved, thanks to Grace. The nearby neighborhoods’ coveys...

Save the Redwoods, Part II: When Billy Heron helped unite a community

IMG_1238.JPG

It’s especially hard to organize folks these days. You can’t call a meeting.   It’s tough to talk and listen with masks on. Yet suburban folks west of Portland Oregon are organizing against a  developer’s plans to build a Chevron gas station/mini-mart adjacent to wetlands, big trees, and a Park Greenway....

The Daily Bucket-The Second Heron

IMG_1181.JPG

I’d always felt there was more than one heron that’s been visiting my backyard ponds for the last ten years.  One would land and catch our fish while we gardened 30 feet away. Another one would watch from a neighbor’s roof for half an hour before coming in for lunch,...

I reached for the grimy tumbler.  It was empty.  Not even any ice. I reached for the whiskey bottle.  It was empty too. This was the night the bottle let me down, and a savagely bright dawn poured through the dirty windows in my Private Investigator’s office. I stared at...

“Oyez,  I call  Frog Court into session,”  rumbled Chief Justice Jeremiah, himself a very large bullfrog. “Bailiff, read the opening Declaration.” The impossibly tall Bailiff stood and began reading:  “In accordance with resolution of a civil suit involving a Reagan cabinet member and prescription drugs,  The Department of Fish and Wildlife...

The Daily Heron Bucket

IMG_6491.JPG

At 8:59 PDT, a Great Blue Heron glided from a nearby roof into my backyard, next to my gold fish ponds.  Every few minutes there is one less fish.  I never should have named the fish. The Heron, who we call Billy, has visited every morning this week except one, and it...

The Daily Bucket–Take-out Orders from the Frog Mitigation Area.

Herons are taking fish and frogs “to go” out of my backyard ponds, for trips to their nearby nests. I watch a heron go after the goldfish in the ponds.  It will eat and swallow the first fish, but will “mouth,” and not swallow their second catch, and immediately fly away with the...

Less than 30 days after the chorus frogs began mating on the Spring Solstice in the Frog Mitigation Area.  Hundreds of tadpoles have already hatched from their egg sacs.   Yet many egg sacs have not yet yielded their bounty.  Every back of the envelope calculation shows I may soon have...

The two brothers looked out from their penthouse at their priceless view of Manhattan, but both watched the clock turn over to 7:15:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time. The afternoon shadows swept in that September afternoon and the sky darkened. “It’s time,” said one brother.  They put on coats and got...
