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
http://birdbrainsofaustin.blogspot.com/2007_09_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. 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.

The Texan Canadian: September 2005
http://texancanadian.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
The experiences of a life-long Texan living in Toronto. Saturday, September 03, 2005. Went to my first show in Toronto last night. Louis XIV. At The Mod Club Theatre. They played a great set, and the place was pretty cool. The biggest thing I noticed is that the club is. At the bar. Another surprise was that no one was toking up! Posted by Kyle Gupton at 11:11 AM.

The experiences of a life-long Texan living in Toronto. Monday, January 02, 2006. The time has come for pop-culture writers to post their best-of lists for 2005. Because he wouldn't want to deprive anyone, The Texan Canadian brings you the definitive list of his favorites from the year (in no particular order):. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

The Texan Canadian: February 2006
http://texancanadian.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
The experiences of a life-long Texan living in Toronto. Sunday, February 19, 2006. I'm Back, or How I Met My First Draft Dodger. Hey y'all. Yeah, I know it's been a while. As Gimpy wrote to me, Blogspot called, and they want their bandwidth back. The last month or so has been a doozy. Work has been pretty crazy, and my father underwent an aortic valve replacement surgery and isn't doing so well. Last night I went and saw local guitarist Jason Fowler. Who was playing in the Acoustic Harvest.
