And we're back

Sorry for the blackout--AB came to town for the Thanksgiving holiday, so I was pretty much away from the computer most of the time. Unfortunately, I had to work Monday through Wednesday, but I got the holiday off and took Friday off (without pay) as well. It'll hurt next week when I get a tiny paycheck (even tinier than usual!), but it was so worth it to spend time with my babe.

Meanwhile, birds are getting a bit scarce around here other than the usual winter residents. I see a lot of spastic little Ruby-crowned Kinglets, fussy Bewick's Wrens, and plump White-winged Doves. This past February, you'll recall I made a trip here in the winter cold to see my family and also saw some good birds. I figure the early migrants will begin their trek back north sometime around then.

In the meantime, I've been seeing some nice butterflies and moths. I need to go outside and stake out the garage door under the lights to get some cool moth pics like I did back in PA this past summer. There should be some pretty interesting moths down here.

I hope to update soon, and to make some time for checking out your blogs. In the meantime, take care and good birding.

Glad you had a good Thanksgiving with AB. I hope all is well with you. I saw someone who looks like you the other day. Made me think of you all day! When we get Hasty done, you'll just HAVE TO come for a visit. (actually I plan to put the squeeze on the whole flock to come for a visit) I'll show you Bald Eagles until you're sick of them!

Lynne, I can't WAIT to come to Hasty Brook! It sounds like such a great place. You could have a big campout and birding festival for the flock there!
