Thank you. There's so much clean up to be done, and we were not in the area hardest hit.

What would be your recipe to cook them?

Compost would be a good use afterwards.

@@elgordolagordayelflacoguer7521 some close to 8 inches for sure.

The New River is famous for Smallmouth Bass in Virginia...

We have never seen this many together in the 23 years that we have lived here.

@@julianortiz9450 I did save all the smallmouths that saw, and several catfish and bluegill.

There were enough big ones to have made a meal...

Amen. And thank you.

Thank you!

Accomplished.

If only I'd have been better prepared. Never done that before...there were definitely quite a few that were big enough.

I did pick up 10 or 12 big ones and carried them over to the river. The largest ones were about 7 inches long.

Thanks.

I heard them from inside the house and quickly went outside to get a video...I missed more of them than I got on the video.

@@JohanRodriguezJimenezJimenez That's about what it sounded like...

And I couldn't get the camera on lots of others... I've never seen that many at one time in the 23 years we've lived here.

Do you know what it is?

@@swanbranchit’s a banded tussock moth the fuzzy hairs contain venom that causes a rash

He was hidden in plain sight!

@@jamieleighkettle5654 Seems to have been the European Hornet.

That's so cool. Bunnies make great snuggle pets.

@@swanbranch Bunnies are perfect starter for young children 10-12. It can teach them responsibility at a young age.

I am going to go there some time soon and see if I can find out if family can take them. Happy Tuesday to you.

Now that you know what it looks like, you can keep an eye out for them.

I think so too.

😀

It's neat to see so many honeybees in our garden.

It's one of my favorites...and also the state butterfly of Virginia.

They are fast flying like a hummingbird but they don't make very much noise with their wings.

Maybe sit outside for a while and see if you can get a closer look at it. You'll definitely hear the wings of a hummingbird.

Such a great job of pollinating the plants...that's one of the reasons we're trying to establish our bee hives on the property. Almost every flower had this many bees.

The bushy tail makes a difference...

Perfect choice don't you think?

I listened to it several times before trimming it down and posting it.

Great video too with DLR jumping.

Thanks! It's coming along.

You're welcome!

Good one.

So agree! It was cool to see for that short time...usually when I see them, it's hard to get close enough to for a video.

Thanks.

The brown and white ones are so pretty. The black ones just sort of mix all together in photos. I like seeing how much each bunny has it's own unique personality.

@@swanbranch 😁

The black ones are hard to video or photo because of the color for sure. The two mini rex that I've had here at home sure do have different personalities.

@@swanbranch mine is a baby (3 mo) and he's an escape artist lol

I'll try to add that to my vocabulary...look, up in the sky. It's a helicopter. It's a plane. No, it's an Osprey Tilt Rotor. When it was invented, an entirely new name could have been coined to make it even cooler.

There was a second one behind it but I didn't get it in time.

It's a silly tune for sure, but it gets stuck in your head so easily.

Thanks. We try to keep them trimmed...they grow out so fast!

@@swanbranch Yeah, I know right, its hard especially when they hate being picked up and scratch when you try too get the back legs

And those back legs are powerful!

Glad you enjoyed it!

It was actually eating some weeds around our flowers...and NOT THE FLOWERS! What a great rabbit!

Thanks! We sure do also! I find myself just watching the animals most of the time and then realize that I should capture it on video for others to enjoy too.

Thanks. One tip is to give some room to run around and exercise at least every other day if they're in a cage normally. The exercise keeps them from being so lethargic and seems to make them more interactive, even at feeding time.
