3 April, 2012… GOATS! A man from Smith’s Bay reported a goat in his area is unable to move her back legs. She has 2 kids and eats and drinks but cannot use back legs at all. For 6 days. Call to Dr. Pedro Davis who suggested a treatment.  Dr. Davis is amazing… he always answers our calls. The goat’s neighbor will assist.  A woman overheard us talking and said her brother’s goat in New Bight cannot move at all and was carried back from the field.  Her kid died.  We will try the same treatment with her.  Mr. Moss picked up the giant kennel for Pebbles.  Saw Pebbles and her person down at Port Howe and she is ready for her trip!   
Mosquitoes have hatched. Two trios of birds migrating north. Plenty white crowned pigeons in Greenwood enjoying gem elemi berries.

  2. Last year the White-Crowned Pigeons didn't move into Port Howe until the Kestrals left. So far today the Kestrals are still here making a ruckus and irritating the Ospreys. -- Amelia
