"Rico" was adopted from one animal control only to end up in another. He was picked up stray by an officer on 7/24/19. When the shelter traced his chip, it came back to a neighboring animal control. The owner on claimed to have lost him last year, shortly after adopting him.
He was a happy, happy boy! Full of energy but would calm down on leash and sit on command with a bit of firm handling. His tail was always wagging and he was always wanting to play. He enthusiastically greeted all people and dogs that come by his kennel. Rico was rescued on July 31, 2019 by Athens Canine Rescue! His rescue was sponsored by donations to ACR from Lorraine, Cindy, Jason and Anne. Thanks all!

“I wanna go home!” The entire time Champ was in the shelter, I believe that is what he was hollering! Champ certainly did his duty to keep the other dogs awake all day long with his barking and baying!
Champ was a chubby baying Beagle brought into the animal shelter on July 22, 2019. I was surprised that no owner had called, given that he had on a shock collar and was already neutered. Nevertheless, his hold expiration was drawing near and still no owner. During his photo session, it was a bit hard to get shots in between his barking and baying! It was clear this boy was missing home. His owner finally called and he was happy to go home on July 26, 2019.

A loud kennel can be a scary place for a dog, especially for a sweet and submissive pup like Tam Tam. And at the same time, being outside on a leash with a strange photographer can be a scary thing too.
Although she was wondering what was going on and where she was, Tam Tam was happy to see the other dogs in the shelter and they always got her tail wagging. Once she settled in, she was happy to see the shelter staff (and the bowl of food!) each morning. But she was still unsure about that big camera pointed in her face! She preferred just to lay down and keep an eye on me. Being young, she wasn't too used to the leash thing and didn't like it at first. But by the end of her photo session she was walking back into the shelter much better. Tam Tam was adopted on July 31, 2019!

What an absolute beauty! And his age didn’t dim his beauty a bit. In fact, I feel it enhanced it!
“Dakota” was a senior German Shepherd Dog that was surrendered to the animal shelter by his owner on July 24, 2019. Dakota’s owner was going through health issues and could no longer care for him. That made his case even more special and a new home more needful. Senior dogs are typically easier to photograph, being calmer than the younger playful pups. Dakota sat patiently throughout his photo session and was a perfect subject. And his handsome photos were quickly noticed. Dakota immediately received adoption inquiries and was safely out of the shelter before the day was over! Less than six hours in the kennel! A quick turnaround to keep the spaces open. That’s the goal of adoption photography!

Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.”  Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - Photograph showing the field and forest habitat ecosystem of a blue Indigo Bunting bird in Georgia. The indigo bunting, Passerina cyanea, is a small migratory seed-eating bird in the cardinal family. Its habitat is farmland, brush areas, and open woodland. Seeing blue... on a short bird walk on Tuesday there were several Indigo Buntings and Blue Grosbeaks out. Over the past two weeks I've seen small groups of Great Egrets flying in over Clarke, Oconee and Walton counties. But today was my first spotting for the 2019 season of a Great Egret on the main retention pond behind my office in Walton. No doubt it will return almost daily for several months now.

Cooper's Hawk fledglings; Clarke County, Georgia. July 20, 2019. The fledgling Coopers Hawks I’ve heard screaming near my backyard for 2 weeks finally came out this morning to try out their wings, making it to a roof top about 50 yards from their nest. July 28, 2019 - one week after fledging the two juveniles are still in the area. In fact, they are even closer! They are spending quite a bit of time around and making dives at my backyard bird feeders. I haven't seen a successful dive yet, but perhaps if they'll start from further back and keep a bit quieter, they'll finally come up with a dove or squirrel.

Remington was picked up running loose by an animal control officer on July 15, 2019. No owner came looking for him and he was photographed for the shelter's website on July 18, 2019.
It took a while (longer than most), but Remington was finally rescued on July 27 by Pisgah PAWS Rescue. Luckily the shelter intake stayed fairly low and he was afforded some extra time. His rescue was sponsored by pledged donations from Nancy, Kay, Jason, Rhonda, Eileen, Polly, Valerie, Alice and Anne!

I want to thank Lee's Birdwatching Adventures for guest posting this blog! Lee's website is about birding from a Christian perspective and has years of articles and content from Lee and other gifted creationists and birders.  Creation Speaks is a Biblical teaching ministry that uses nature writing and photography to glorify our Creator and teach the truth of creation. “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?" Job 12:7-9  Friday, July 19, 2019. Just leaving work, I spotted a roadside Turkey Vulture dining on an armadillo carcass in Walton County, Georgia. Cathartes aura, also known as the turkey buzzard or carrion crow. Commonly seen circling soaring or eating roadkill dead carcasses. While running a 10K race with my 69-year-old father, I laughed as he looked up and shouted at a group of circling vultures and said, “Go away! I’m not dead yet!” Although they were waiting to dine on him, he wasn’t quite ready to be their supper. The Bible tells us (and yes, I believe it) that one day in the future, God is going to host two great suppers, or feasts. The first is the party of the century… no, the party of the millennia… no, the party of the ages! It is called the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And all the followers of Jesus Christ will be given clean, white garments and enjoy the greatest wedding reception of all time. Revelation 19:17-18 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.  Authorized King James 1611 Pulpit Folio Bible, Revelation 19:17-18. But simultaneously, there is another feast. It is called the Supper of the Great God. Those who did not RSVP for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, but lived for themselves, will be attendees at this gathering. For it is a gathering of fowls; of carrion crows and vultures to feed upon the slain who turned in battle against returning Messiah. But you need not attend that feast.
When you pass a roadside party of vultures dining on last night’s unlucky road crossing, just remind yourself, “I’d rather feast at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb than be feasted upon at the Supper of the Great God.” |
