In the post about finding some Holiday Spirit, someone mentioned in the comments section that Cinnamon looked like a vampire. Well, let me lay the photo that we took right after that one on you: Deep, intense, massive disapproval.
I was having trouble coming up with something to blog about today and found emails with some fun photos to share. OH! If you were a person who emailed me recently who was in Mark Martell’s ornithology class a couple of years ago and sent me photos to identify, they are of a red-tailed hawk. [ Read More ]
Last year we didn’t have a Christmas Tree because I was gone for two weeks right before Christmas (although Non Birding Bill did improvise with a cool home made paper tree). This year we decided against it because our library of bird/theatre/science fiction/rabbit books is taking over our apartment and we just don’t have the [ Read More ]
H-O-L-Y C-O-W! I completely slept through the Christmas Bird Count! I was working on a deadline for Minnesota Audubon for Friday. I pretty much just sequestered myself into our apartment last week, avoiding friends and family outings. Even Non Birding Bill was out from underfoot as he was in final rehearsals for a play. I [ Read More ]
Hello, everyone, NBB here. An update on T-Shirt orders. We’re glad the Disapproving Rabbit T-Shirts are a hit. Such a hit, in fact, that they greatly exceeded our initial estimates, and we ran out of several sizes in the first couple of days. As a result of this, some orders were delayed until we could [ Read More ]
This showed up on the Minnesota bird listservs from the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center: We’d like to extend a huge thank-you to Kent and Susan Brunell who have spent the past two days rescuing pelicans off Pelican Lake. So far, they’ve brought us seven live birds and two dead birds, which we’ve sent out for [ Read More ]
“No, I didn’t rip open the bag of flour. Why do you ask?” It was my own fault, I should have put the groceries away quicker. “Here, you better let me test one more spoonful of pumpkin before it goes into the cookie dough.” The recipe only called for half a can of pumpkin so [ Read More ]
“Hello. I am a male cardinal. You may admire me now.” In Minneapolis, we have a 72% chance of having a white Christmas (at least an inch of snow). This year is pretty darned gray and brown. When we had those few days of subzero temperatures last week I was a little bitter. It’s hard [ Read More ]
So, my editor at Harper Collins wanted us to work on getting a photo of Cinnamon for the cover of the Disapproving Rabbits book. While he agrees that Cinnamon is generally awesome (smart man and quite possibly a masochist) the cover photo needs to have a light background and no clutter–it’s a design issue. We [ Read More ]
The Fat Birder Top 500 Birding Websites has finally exceeded the 500! When I first signed up to Fat Birder I don’t think there were even 250 sites listed. I remember mentioning to Non Birding Bill that I wanted to add Birdchick to the list and he was leery. I can get overly obsessive about [ Read More ]
