10,000 Birds

As lovely as the Sage Grouse were, our trip had another primary mission — to see the amazing, highly endangered black-footed ferret. Ferret 492 — a black-footed ferret, Mustela nigripes — raises her head from a black-tailed prairie dog’s burrow, sniffs the April night. Not Ferret 492, though.

In nonfiction, I can venture as far afield as bats, ferrets, or my grandmother, but some strange creature is de rigeur for inspiration. Some of my favorites: The Mincing Mockingbird (and the Frantic Meerkat) is Matt Adrian, who paints troubled, antisocial, but beautiful finches, owls, and more… the Fitzgeralds of the bird world.

As the name suggests, they rescue rabbits, but they also rescue other small animals like ferrets, and other small rodents. The structures will be small so we don’t disturb the trees or our resident wildlife (raccoons, deer, owls, cottontail rabbits, etc.) Tags: rescue spotlight ferret rabbit rescue rodent.

Ferrets, stoats and weasels were released and quickly became destructive vermin in their own right, quickly causing the extinction of the Laughing Owl and stymieing efforts to establish game birds. Possums still strip our native forests, ferrets and stoats and possums still devastate our native birds.
