Then he trained us to get out of bed and go downstairs and open the kitchen door. He flew around the house looking in the windows. Hey! Get up! Give me a peanut!

Breaks. I'm really good at taking them. I...Man. Breaks. I'm really good at taking them. In the office anyways. I totally feel ya on the ADD. Pacific-slopes generally do a 2 note call (the taxi hail, in my head, is 3 notes), and upslurred "tsu-wheet!". When they do bust out the 3-note song, its more like a "Seet....tsu-wheet!", with a longish pause after the first note. I am a nerd.<br /><br />The hummingbird. It lives in my parent's yard in Ventura.

That gyrfalcon article is crazy... Thanks for sharing that. And I agree with the above comment on the hummer photo. How the hell did you get that???Jen Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932953314258705622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-84401283668341888012011-06-20T08:20:42.115-07:002011-06-20T08:20:42.115-07:00oh, how sweet re: jays when you feed them. reminds...oh, how sweet re: jays when you feed them. reminds me of the gentle up sweeping peeping chickens do when going to sleep. SO sweet.<br /><br />k. that first photograph is INSANE. I assume it's yours and HOW DID YOU GET THAT?!?<br /><br />I've actually been thinking about the umpteen breaks I have to take while working. I now know it's 'cause of my ADD wiring, but also, that's the price THEY (employers) pay for the genius that then shoots out of my typing fingers/reading eyeballs/neuron-connecting brain in intense pulses. =) I think I'm coming to terms with it. Yes, it looks like I'm petting my cat, but I'm really halting data input and idling my conscious thought so bitchin' neuronal connections can then be made.<br /><br />QUESTION FOR YOU THE BIRD GURU: Went to Cornell today to find bird call (on my post today) and while there played Pacific slope fly catcher expecting the hailing-the-taxi call & did not hear that. Am I remembering this wrong? I AM a crap birder, as previously confessed. Can you help? It's now bugging me and I actually cannot spend all day at Cornell.whatever. AND I heard the taxi-cab call this very morning.<br /><br />Enjoyable post. Thanks.biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.com
