Thanks to Cute Overload for putting the word out on this: Sparrow Shoes anyone? Must not have been an actual birder who designed those shoes, otherwise they would have been covered in black oil sunflower–which is more sensible, you can always use a great pair of black shoes.
Remember those videos of the porcupet (aka baby porcupine). I had them on Google Video and last week, I transferred them to You Tube–Holy Crap, the one of the baby porcupine eating a banana had 16,000 views yesterday and today it’s past 27,000! I just got a message from someone who produces an animal show [ Read More ]

There are so many people who are doing interesting things bird wise–research projects, banding, writing, etc. [ Read More ]

Woof. I have a lot of signing to do. I bailed on Carpenter banding this morning because I’m behind on some blog posts, I’m going hawk banding this weekend and need to get some work done if I’m gonna sit in a blind for two days, and holy cow you guys are so cool and [ Read More ]
“What, am I supposed to chew on all these?”
