So, I stopped by to install a motion sensitive camera to try and get a photo of the bear that is terrorizing Mr Neil’s feeders and decided to check out the bird houses I put up this spring, all of them have been claimed as wren boxes. Not only that, they all appear to be [ Read More ]
Boy, you can tell it’s spring migration, blogging updates are few and far between. I had a great time at Detroit Lakes, but boy do I feel like I’ve been rode hard and hung up wet. I think I have a bird hangover. I just plain exploded when I got to the Detroit Lakes Festival. [ Read More ]
I am soooooooooooo tired (18 species of warblers in one day–oy). I think I may have over birded at the Detroit Lakes Bird Festival. I have to say, it is one of my favorite bird festivals–the other one is the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival, if you can only ever afford to do two birding [ Read More ]
Woo Hoo! I can upload images to blogger in the usual way, I heart blogger again. Read an early press release on the Ivory-bill search at WildBird on the Fly. It’s good to have a friend on the inside of the media. Okay, not many people know this, but when I when down to Arkansas, [ Read More ]

Deer path in Mr. Neil’s woods. Hello, ticks, here I come. Let’s see how many photos I can get away with. Hmm, after much consternation…only one photo. Man, this is irritating.
I had intended more photos for this post but blogger is acting wonky and I’m getting tired and cranky. This time last year I was enjoying Mr. Neil’s feeders that were just chock full of rose-breasted grosbeaks, orioles, indigo buntings and a whole host of other great spring birds. I had set him up with [ Read More ]
Here’s an excerpt from an email I got from Cornell today: There will be a news phone conference this Thursday, May 18 with Cornell and members of the Fish and Wildlife Service. This information shouldn’t appear in the newspapers until Friday. There will be an official press release and announcement about our 2005/2006 season linked [ Read More ]
Okay, all the info is up at Preferred Adventures regarding the Eagle Optics River of Raptors Tour. When you open the link, click on “What’s New” and then click on the link for “Mexico! Raptor Migration”. You know you want to go to Mexico with a couple of excited, enthusiastic raptor bums. We’ll watch for [ Read More ]
Non Birding Bill, Cinnamon and I are in transit from Indiana to Minnesota. I will upload more Hoosier stories on Tuesday–and then it is off to Detroit Lakes Minnesota, where NBB and I will be performing Play on Birds. We were rehearsing some new sketches yesterday and kept cracking each other up. I hope that’s [ Read More ]
