BirdBrains of Austin: July 2008
http://birdbrainsofaustin.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Back Yard Birder site. Will post photos of birds and keep counts of the types and include interesting stories as they occur to me. Sunday, July 13, 2008. Late March through Arpil roundup. Culled through my pictures to update the old bird blog. Here's a few cedar waxwings from a flock that kept coming back to my backyard pecan tree to feed on the tassles March 29 through March 31. Splurged on a new camera, a Nikon D60 10.1 Megapixel, and the dove on nest photos from 4-10 are among the first I took:. Not p...

BirdBrains of Austin: WaxWings again today
http://birdbrainsofaustin.blogspot.com/2009/04/waxwings-again-today.html
Back Yard Birder site. Will post photos of birds and keep counts of the types and include interesting stories as they occur to me. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Saw the Cedar WaxWings up in the backyard neighbors Pecan tree again. You hear them before you see them. They're almost always in flocks and they have a high, thin almost whispered call note. The flock sounds almost ghostly. I didn't get any pix from today, but see my other post from today for pix from last year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Back Yard Birder site. Will post photos of birds and keep counts of the types and include interesting stories as they occur to me. Thursday, May 07, 2009. Here it is 12:22 am and there is a male mockingbird calling at the top of his voice. Very strange. Over the last week I've heard him calling for a mate any time from Midnight to 4 am Never heard of this before. Talk about desperate. ;-). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

BirdBrains of Austin: September 2007

Back Yard Birder site. Will post photos of birds and keep counts of the types and include interesting stories as they occur to me. Tuesday, September 18, 2007. Heard the great horned owl in the back yard this last weekend. As usual, I couldn't get a shot of him in the dark, but I did get these shots of a GHO at the Aquarium in Vancouver. This was an injured captive female used for public outreach. We were in Vancouver for our Honeymoon, Aug. 11-15. These we're taken on the 12th. Links to this post. Links...

Some Modest Proposals: 11/01/2006 - 12/01/2006
http://somemodestproposals.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
A repository for social and political notions. Wednesday, November 15, 2006. Long national nightmare ended? I don't know. The fact that enough people rejected the current political trend and punished the intransigence of the Republican leadership is a good thing. It shows that we're still awake here and, while slow to react, eventually will. But maybe some balance has been restored. Can't wait for January. Links to this post. Thursday, November 02, 2006. Wow, I missed all of October. Links to this post.

A repository for social and political notions. Friday, September 29, 2006. The Real Path to 9/11. Keith Olbermann puts the lie to Bush administration claims that they couldn't have done more to stop 9/11. They examine the evidence in this report. Catches quite a few of the administration officials in bold faced lies. Enjoy. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Senate Caves to President. The Real Path to 9/11.

Salon's War Room sez Iraq is in worse shape than the media (which is biased, doncha know) is telling us. This according to Newsweek reporter, Rod Norland. See the whole story.

A repository for social and political notions. Thursday, November 02, 2006. Wow, I missed all of October. Got so busy at work that I missed all of October here at the ol' blog. Shame. Thought I'd check back in with a link to Keith Olbermann's latest attack on Bush and his ilk. No he didn't. Polls out today show Senator Macaca, Talent, and Dewine trending downward along with Tom Kean in NJ. Only Corker in Tennessee had good numbers. Zogby. Had him up 10 and Rasmussen.

Fred Singer, who lies about his ties to big oil. They are actually researching these guys' backgrounds and telling it like it is. Maybe the press is indeed getting their teeth back.
