Butzie, the lizard catcher par excelance brought me her usual lizard or 3 today. I always tell her what a good lizard catcher she is and thanks for bringing them to me. Then I pick up the lizard and put it outside and just keep thanking her (better than live mice).
Today, I come in, find Butzie with a lizard in the living room. It is missing part of its tail. I go to pick it up. The rest of it's tail is right there - Still moving!
I put the lizard outside on the front lawn.
I was just looking now outside my window at the front yard. A Stellar's Jay is bopping on the lawn looking for bugs. Suddenly, it picks up a lizard. Same lizard! I could tell by the tail.
That lizard was doomed.
