saddest thing I read lately:
"Sometimes we tell jokes to lighten the mood although we don't laugh at the jokes."

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.)

Do earthquake swarms precede caldera eruptions? We don't know. But hopefully not, since there has been a recent swarm of earthquakes in Yellowstone.

We found this game in a closet at the bighouse.
We brought it down here. Dave was good at it.
