This mourning dove rests with its nestlings in a flower basket on DeAnn Cooper's front porch. She said she talked to them so they knew her voice, and they allowed her to get real close to them. Cooper said they were interesting to watch.

Allen Schaal of Mount Pulaski captured a shot of the Mount Pulaski American Legion Ryman-Fuiten Post 447 performing cemetery rites. The three-shot volley is a traditional part of military rites for deceased soldiers.

Sarah Cook of Mount Pulaski caught sight of this little guy and couldn't resist grabbing a snapshot. Cook said she did some research on white-tailed squirrels and found they are kind of rare. This is just one more thing to add to the list of all the things that make Logan County in general and Mount Pulaski in particular a very unique and interesting place to live.
