This old firehouse is pinned as a future performing arts center in chelsea, a hopeful project. everywhere i look, there are possibilities to reclaim and reuse older buildings for cultural or community projects-but as always, it requires grant funding, city property that can be donated for community...

Quite literally. I was getting ready for a detail job, putting on my makeup, when I heard loud bird noises. So, I looked out my window and saw the biggest, darkest hawk I've ever seen in my life land on a branch in my yard. And it was EATING something! That, I had never seen before. So I was...
Bonaparte's Gull -- Larus philadelphia
"I'm ready for my Glamour shot now thanks".... Have a few photo of birds in my unposted collection, but not often can I get the clarity or detail of the eyes to show, most especially when the bird is of a mostly black colouring, but where it does, I will post these.
I'm sure I've bored you all to tears with previous duck shots that I've already posted and no doubt will again and again with the many more to come, but I am drawn to two particular snaps of ducks that were taken at the Carlton Gardens. Something magical happens when viewing these shots afterwards,...
Domesticated Greylag Goose: Anser anser domesticus Domesticated Chinese Swan Goose: Anser cygnoides These guys hybridise with each other and the wild Snow Goose and Canada Goose like crazy. It's annoying, trying to identify any given individual but I'm sure I know the species involved at least :)
This is the inside of my purse. This photo was taken by Mel and Alexis or MELEXIS at Birds on Monday. Once word got out that my purse was full of matches and loose change, I had people handing me fist fulls of change. That was pretty dope. I can totes do all my laundry now. I love Hyde's expression...
White-crowned Sparrow: Zonotrichia leucophrys Sharp-shinned Hawk: Accipiter striatus American Black Vulture -- Coragyps atratus Mottled Duck -- Anas fulvigula Green Heron -- Butorides virescens American Black Duck -- Anas rubripes
We saw these Sunday while we were golfing. It is hard to judge the size by the picture, but they are almost as tall as I am. They sound like space aliens when they squawk. We were all scared the first time we heard them, SS said they sound like pterodactyls. lol The sunflowers are all courtesy of...
We don't see enough bird pictures on CO, so I decided to submit some that I shall post here in case Meg doesn't like them. First, I saw a news story about a new species of bird that was discovered in Columbia. Look how cute it is! Back in March, they found this cutie in Indonesia... Check out his...
It must have just been a bird day today. Everything seemed to involve birds of some sort. The whole office was in a hubbub about this bird nest right outside their window. It was like watching Animal Planet in real life. There they are, hard at work. Hahahaha. So what is it that they are all...
When we lived in Chicago, we didn't see very many birds. "Look," we'd say. "There's a pigeon. And that one there, that's... a pigeon. Oh, look, it's eating the first pigeon." The pigeons in Chicago were mean. Sometimes we got some crows. And by sometimes, I mean at the crack of dawn, and by got I...
Bobby and I went to the WAC and rented a rowboat today because it was so pretty out. I felt bad because I didn't do any work at all and he was doing it all, but we had a good time so I guess it's all good. :) We came across a great blue heron and three bald eagles (two of which are in the video I...
I found this little thing while inspecting the reclaimation works. It was a wonder how the birds could lay egg in fresly dumped sand and the egg had already hatched in such a span of time. How can it survive the heat, being such a helpless little thing in the midst of shoreline tropical heat? That's...
Well, the field season has officially been wrapped up. Having to wake up at 5:30 am or earlier on a regular basis since November 07 had gotten rather old. It was just too hot for the birds and for us, so we called it quits (until October or so). But, I've got a ton of clean-up work to do and the lab...
My fabulous Daddy gave me a new camera! OK, that was back in May... just now I finally got around to getting the first batch of pictures uploaded from it... New camera has a 18 x optical zoom... = I can take pictures of critters in the wild!!! yay!!! So I tested it on the ducklings in the pond on...
I've been taking photos of some baby doves in my back yard. The doves were born on 6-30 and every day or so I take photos of them. You should see the mother dove! When I get up the ladder to take photos of her babies, she flys off the nest and then flops on the ground like she is injured to get us...
As an animal advocate this poem hits my heart deeply. Birds are such free creatures. With wings that span so beautifully. When I see them caged I wonder how their souls are feeling. They are trapped. Their life taken from them. This poem is such a wonderful voice for them. I Know Why the Caged Bird...
Spent a week at the cabin in Dungeness. Left Tuesday after work, worked remotely from the Sequim public library and Hurricane coffee on Wednesday and Thursday, took Friday and Monday off. Friday the weather was beautiful so that was sweet. The cabin’s kitchen sink wasn’t draining (it had been...
