Just One Myna Problem

Moʻo caught another bird; a Common Myna fledgling (Acridotheres tristis). It sort of does this hopping flapping thing but can't get itself off the ground. While Moʻo seems to "catch" a lot of birds, I think what's really happening is that she is finding them on the ground since only 1 of them has been an adult. (She tried to get an adult chicken but it was fortunate enough to be able to get under the house where Moʻo couldn't get her.)

I dropped the Myna off at Trudy's house. Already this year I have also given her a Northern Cardinal & a House Sparrow that Moʻo caught. Though for those 2 it was not that hard; they did not have any flight feathers. Trudy is tentatively calling the young Myna "Mozart"; their old Myna is Beethoven. But I have created a small problem for Trudy; she has run out of space on the window counter for bird cages!

Beethoven (L) & Mozart.

At sunrise it was a little hazy but that soon burned off & it was a sunny, pleasant day with a light breeze. There was only a short shower late last night but no drizzle this morning. The solar energy graph on the Tesla app seemed to reflect that. 

One minute before sunrise.

Jeremiah came by later in the day with a big Penske moving truck rental; Moʻo barked ferociously at it as he was coming down the driveway. After he got out of the truck & came to say Hi!, she calmed down. Until he brought his pet piglet out; then she started barking again! But this time it was her Pig! bark, not her Intruder! bark.

The next episode of the eruption at Kīlauea is predicted to occur some time between the 4th & the 8th with the 5th through 7th being the most probable.  

A glow could be seen last night around 7:30.
