Closing out the Holiday Season on Epiphany with
The Twelve Birds of Christmas – Brooklyn Edition
(OK, a couple of them are bugs, but let’s not quibble.)
Merlin Falcon at Owl’s Head Park
Scarlet Tanager at Owl’s Head 11/9/08 (very late)
Rusty Blackbird in Prospect Park (40% decline over the last 20 years)
Olive-sided Flycatcher at Calvert Vaux Park
Eyed Elator! Calvert Vaux Park
Monarch sex at Calvert Vaux Park
Horned Lark blending in with gravel at Calvert Vaux Park
American Golden-plover at Calvert Vaux Park
Eastern Bluebirds at Owl’s Head Park
Winter plumage Sanderling at Dyker Beach on Gravesend Bay
Why does Wilson’s Warbler insist on showing me its rear? Owl’s Head Park
And the first good bird of 2009 (well, it’s early.) Can you pick it out among 700 gulls?
Look closer, middle back, bigger than Ring-billed, smaller than Herring, darker than either, but not quite as dark as Great Black-backed…
Maybe from this angle…
Yes it’s a Lesser Black-backed Gull on the Lake in Prospect Park; a good rarity in the City (of course there are plenty in Buck’s County PA, but in bird watching everything is context.)

I had an email exchange with this guy about an old Huichol yarn piece we have (and he told me its not art but craft, art came about when the gringo's helped deepen the symbol's etc, I understand his points, not sure I agree completely but he has spend his life protecting the Huichol, bless him BIG!!!, we do have two works by one of his group of artists he supported, they are great)

During the Spanish Civil War Negrin took the controversial decision to transfer the Spanish gold reserves to the Soviet Union in return for arms to continue the war. Worth $500 million at the time, critics argued that this action put the Republican government under the control of Joseph Stalin.
