Regarding the presence of armadillos in our region, I'm wondering if this signals some sort of climate change that would bring in new birds or create a hostile environment for our old faves.

A few weeks before, I had taken a photo of one that crossed Natchez Trace near Franklin. They're HERE. I knew them well when I lived in Florida. One of my fellow students at RollinsCollege was a Texas rancher who told me they were good when batbequed. Daddy shot one, and I cooked it. Not bad. Its belly was full of earthworms, so I guess that is what they eat. This one had been digging in our yard for its food, so I don't think they are a real threat to the birds.
