We have had quite the menagrie of pets. We've had canines, felines, rodents, amphibians, and aquatic pets. We now can add fine feathered friends to that list.
Meet Slim:

Slim came with the house. He lives in the back ponds. He's got quite the life.
He walks around the edge of the small pond catching and eating the baby bream.

When he gets his fill he flies to the bigger pond and hangs out. Then comes back when the kids get home. He actually kinda "plays" with them. He lets them get right up next to him then he ever so slowly steps the the side, then they get closer and he side steps again and so on and so on. He even got so comfortable around the kids that he would let them feed him, in a manner of speaking. They would scoop up some fish in a cup then throw one on the ground right in front of Slim and he would walk over and pick it up and eat it!!

Slim has not been around the last few days, so we are wondering if maybe he migrated.. sure hope thats the case.
