Hello all, NBB here again. Another reason why Sharon hasn’t been blogging is that in addition to Rangering and writing, she’s discovered a new passion: fishing. It’s work related–one of the programs the Rangers give in the summer and they have a lot of fishing related programs. So Sharon was given a gov’t issue pole, [ Read More ]
Hello all, NBB here. Sharon’s a bit swamped with deadlines, so she’s asked me to fill in with a blog post about all the exciting things that are happening in the birding world. But since I avoid knowing anything about the birding world with great vigor, I instead present you with Birds Wearing Hats. Hilarious, [ Read More ]
Hello all, NBB here with a bit of an unusual request. You may recall that earlier this year Sharon came home to find an unexpected visitor in our home, a tame pigeon who quickly won her heart. And a perch on her head. We, alas, could not keep the bird (who was very friendly—too friendly, [ Read More ]
Hello all, NBB here. Shaz is back from two weeks of travel, her brain so full of birding that I’ve had to pull her off the ledge at least twice, her mouth stuffed with string, twigs, and animal fur. A typical Saturday night ’round here, then. Sharon’s asked me to blog for her—worried that you [ Read More ]

Hello all, NBB here. WCCO did a story about the crow roost in Loring park, featuring a brief exchange with our own Birdchick (via Skype in Panama). You can watch the story here. I’d just like to point out that it was me who told le Shaz that the crows were roosting in Loring.
Hello all, NBB here. Sharon’s still catching up from her trip to Atlanta (where TSA confiscated her deodorant for some reason) so you and I are stuck together. Deal with it. First off, a reminder that Birds and Beers is at the end of the month, and it takes place at a bar where you [ Read More ]
WARNING! SOMEWHAT GROSS PHOTO AT THE END OF THIS POST! I’m wrapping up my time in Atlanta and I wait for my flight home to Minneapolis. I have to say that the trade show that I went to was smaller than usual and one had to really search to find something innovative and not just [ Read More ]
“Hey honey, you got a second?” “Sure.” “Okay. Don’t get mad.” (sigh) “What happened?” “Neil thinks he saw an eagle come down and try to get a squirrel in his yard.” “Why would I be mad about that?” “Because you get mad when we think we see birds.” “Well, why don’t you two boys go [ Read More ]
Hello all, NBB here. Sharon’s been furiously finishing the latest draft of her next book, and that, combined with the Christmas Bird Count and the holiday season, she’s run out of time for blogging. So we’re stuck together. I don’t like it any more than you, but here we are. I was going to do [ Read More ]
