Tawny frogmouth
We saw thias bird at a small zoo in Sydney and at first I wasn't sure if it was stuffed or alive.
It didn't twitch or move, just sat ever so still.
They are night hunters searching out insects and sitting quietly in trees during the day.

Even Frosty is tired.
It is always a crazy rush at Christmas.
By the time it is over i am tired out.
I don't know what is holding this snowperson up but he has a defenite lean.
Hope everyone had a good holiday.

Not a lava lamp
I don't think this is something you can figure out, but feel free to try.
Not a lava lamp, not a bubbly drink.
Not a deliberate creation.

We visited my sister yesterday and she had amarylis blooming.
Such a pretty flower for a winters day

Flying south
Except for the security hassles that sounds like a good idea for those of us that live in snow country.

Rusty blackbird
A first for our yard. We have seen rusty blackbirds before but not in the yard.
Interesting thing about this bird is that it is only rusty in the winter. Mainly black in the summer.
Don't forget to feed the birds and to put out water for them during this cold weather

Tiger swallowtail
First real snow fall of the year, just enough to whiten the ground, so a touch of summer colour to get the weekend started.

As seen on Discovery Channel
Discovery Channel has a program called Daily Planet, a one hour science, nature and technology program broadcast each weekday.
There is a segment called Planet You and, recently this photo was highlighted.
This photo originally posted in 2005 but thought it deserved a do over in recognition of its TV debut.
The skunk didn't spray the racoon, they just went on eating tyhe bird seed that had fallen to the ground.

No heater
Nostalgia is great but I prefer a warm car in the winter.
Not only does it not have windows it doesn't have a heater.

Welcome back
Alright, show your age, how many of you went Welcome back...Kotter, own up to it!
We haven't had dear in the year for 2 winters, don't know why, they just weren't coming in.
This afternoon this nice buck came to eat the seeds under the feeders, liked it so much he cane back a second time.
Hope he brings friends next time

Crossbreeding gone wild
The Coguin is a strange breed seen only in Scotland. I think they were going for a cow that gave cold milk.

Basket case
Chickadees, titmouse and nuthatches seem to really like this little feeder.
