Ah, poor finch. Glad you rescued her.

A couple of years ago, I looked out to the feeders. We'd just returned from a trip. To my horror was a dead flicker strangled on the suet feeder. Somehow, he'd gotten one of those plastic green net things on his head. Then he'd stuck his head into the suet feeder and it got hung up and he strangled. Awful.

Learned later a neighbor was using the green plastic netting to protect her tomato plants. Bad idea.

Today I drove the Auto Tour at Lower Klamath Falls Wildlife Refuge. You can't get very close to the water. It was overcast and about 38 degrees outside. Still there were a lot of waterfowl present.

Thanks Steve W. I am enjoying my birding travels.

Perhaps I should have mentioned that 'my' Bulbuls have occupied my ficus
thicket lo this past year. I'm not aware that they've fledged any young
but they do seem to be a committed pair. Interestingly, I've only seen the
two of them out taking the sun together just once - probably a good survival strategy.

Reilly: You need to come to Colorado. We could have a HH and a bird slide show!

Crimpie, I was there last Sept. I sat in that pizza joint for two hours
and you guys never showed!









Oh, wait, the pizza joint was in Frisco - my bad. I'm about to buy a lot
in Frisco so y'all can come 'up' and slum it. Or my buddy Bob can give y'all a
group rate in his 'castle'...he likes company.

Frisco is not that far. A road trip HH seems highly possible. Let us know when you are back in the area.

The castle is beautiful!

The castle is beautiful!

That's what most people in Frisco think, too. The City does not agree and
has fought Bob tooth and nail every inch of the way! But I think he is winning.

Snow Geese. I shot this at 1/10 second, which is a very long shutter speed. I let them fly across the frame.

BASE104 - very good artistic effect. I first I thought clouds...but very cool to learn what it was. Reminds me of this one I took of an overexposed egret against a cloud.

That is beautiful.

The most beautiful bird, in my mind, is the arctic tern.
