Subject: RE: BS: badger cam
Very kewl badger cam!! Thanks! Tuned in just in time to hear the birds' evensong, see two badgers in the distance, foraging about, a squirrel up close and personal a large bird swoop down and pick about in the middle of it all! Just lovely!

We were always warned to be very wary of badgers, as children hiking about in Colorado. We were told they were fierce and ferocious fighters who would never let go. I saw one, once, while walking with our dog, when I was 13. I ran so fast to get away, dragging my dog, because of course, being a terrier, he wasn't afraid of anything!

The only other time I've seen one was a couple of years ago, in the fall. We were out on the prairie, near a creek, enjoying a drive, when a huge one ambled across the road in front of us. He even paused partway and stared at us as if to say, "Oh, yeah? It's MY road, you can wait!" Loved that attitude!

Thanks!
