One of my favorite scenes of all time! Thanks EV!
Tomorrow may be a may-day for me, a wildfire in the Manzano Mts. “blew up” in the strong winds today, I’m likely to be gone soon.
I enjoyed my morning off today with you all!

Thanks witch1!
One of the whales of the population which I used to work with was named Beltane and I never understood the name. Sadly Beltane died back in the 80’s

Thanks, the winds are expected to continue for a couple more days, along with very low relative humidities, 7 to 13 percent… not good.

Stay safe Raven, don’t let the fire get at you! Hubby’s been firefighting in Canada in the early 80’s once. Well, that’s what he says. He admits, he was just banging on the embers with a shovel. The pros wouldn’t let an 18 year old rookie nowhere near the action. Hey, and he almost got lost in the woods, when looking for a nice tree to water 😉

(I guess I shouldn’t have told that one)

Heh. I love this scene! My English instructor used this bit to teach about so-called logical arguments. Loved that!

Stay safe, Raven. Thank you for all you do, and your wonderful pictures. Stay safe. 🙂

We should be able to figure this out pretty easily. What region of the world are we talking? What do you mean by outside of the wing? Was the head entirely red or only some red? I am guessing redheaded woodpecker.

Birding must be a really sensual/sexual pastime, because I can read a lot into the titles.

Or do I just have a really dirty mind?

Witch, that sounds like a woodpecker, but it’s a different name. I’m spacing it right now.

Wow. Three of my friends threw me under the bus.

That or I must face the fact that I do have a dirty mind.
Shayne – Thank you for your blunt assessment. Dang!
Zooey – I won’t even tell you my first thought after reading “Blue-footed Boobies”

Dbadass – I drive by an Audubon place in Osterville all the time and think about you trail-blazing it Hunter S. style.

“Ghost Hunters”. It’s her favorite show. Sci-Fi channel.
I’ll be back soon.

Nice job Zooey! Now I just have to get you up to speed on the cuisine thing. You folks have some really cool birds out that way

Thanks, dbadass. That’s a compliment, coming from a birding kind of guy.

Naturally, I was looking that up since I have a paper due tomorrow. Anything but that!

I see the kids looking at these during class on their laptops sometimes.

Word of warning: When your girls go to college, forget the laptop. I’ve never seen one used for notes in class — ever. Desktop is the way to go.

Zooey on April 30, 2008 at 6:56 pm said:

Heh. I used to feel that way. There seems to be a change in thinking that comes about, when you realize you just can’t teach them anything more, and they need to find out the rest in the big, bad world.

It’s really amazing how that happens. You’ve got a long time before you have to worry about that one!

Thank’s for all the pic’s and note’s…My little bird look’s the most like a red breasted sap sucker except, his head was bright red and no red below his neck..Also he was jet shiny black all over his back, tail and wing’s with one thin white feather on the out side of his wing’s…Pale peachy beige chest…

Gonna start takeing my digital every where I go for awhile, now I know what he sound’s like and have been hearing that cat like sound for a couple of week’s…Thank’s critter’s….Blessings…..P.S. Thank’s for the pic site Jane and Lady Z..

A little late in the conversation…
dbadass, by the time your daughters become 17 years old, you will feel happy for them to leave home. I always said that if children remained as sweet and wonderful as they are when before the age of 13, we would never let them go. Then the teenage years happen and… you can’t wait for them to grow up and leave. After all, when they are teenagers, they think they are all grown up. Now this is coming from someone that has a wonderful relationship with her daughters. If you let your children spread their wings and fly away, they always come back as best friends forever.
