For those who need something up in an entry other than a spider, here’s a bird: The flapping just happened to turn what should have been blurry to arty. Any guesses as to what it is–hopefully, it won’t be some weird thrush variation not many of us know about. It’s your friendly neighborhood Philadelphia vireo. [ Read More ]
I found one bird house that the house wrens did not take over at Mr. Neil’s (the house wrens took over his wood duck boxes this summer). I believe this is some type of funnel spider that has had quite a productive hunting spot in the form of this web built in around this wren [ Read More ]
Hey, remember the post where I linked to the sheep in spandex? Well, I hate to tell you, but there are even more disturbing photos of sheep in spandex–I’m pretty sure these weren’t from the Minnesota State Fair. I think I’m beginning to understand why of all barnyard animals, sheep were made inflatable. Oh and [ Read More ]
In case anyone knows a publisher who might be interested, I’d like to turn Disapproving Rabbits into a book–Cute Overload twice in the last three months has got say something for it’s popularity. If you know of someone who’d be interested in publishing it, drop me a note. Also, I am a free agent now [ Read More ]
“What the heck am I anyway?” For those who love a good hard core birding debate, check out the comments on the last photo quiz (the one asking for correct id) someone is saying this is a dark morph veery? Anyone care to comment? We do get veerys (or is it veeries) in Minnesota, but [ Read More ]

I just got this link from Gayle. Pretty cool way of turning trash into wildlife art. I love the kingfisher, but we both agree that the bittern is pretty sweet too…and uncommon subject matter.
We are in the process of having the birdchick.com email be hosted by google. Unbeknowst to us this will require a 48 hour changeover. So, if you need to send an email between now and Friday please send an email to birdchick @ gmail dot com.
We have just discovered Bunny Yawns. Not sure how Cinnamon is going to take to this site. “I don’t approve of such laziness!”
When I arrived at TRC, there was a package waiting for me from Annie’s! Look at the box full of tasty bunny goodness! I have my suspicion that this is meant for Cinnamon so that she will finally come around to Bernie’s (the alleged approving bunny) way of thinking. I don’t know about Cinnamon, but [ Read More ]
