Northed - Not so far north

[BarredBuff]

How unpleasant?!

 

[Denim Deb]

That's pretty good! (Unless there were only 2 groups preforming. ) I saw a scarlet tanager today! I was so happy. Wasn't sure at first if it was one or not, but I checked my bird book when I got home and it was!

 

[Northed]

There were 5, but you've got a point there

Good on ya Deb! That must've been an awesome moment.

Stock market saw a bit of a turnaround today. Not taking it for anything though, it's like taking one step forward and four back

 

[Denim Deb]

It was! And today, I saw a Baltimore (northern) oriole! I'm starting to see some good birds.

 

[Northed]

Beautiful! I gave that one a google, and it's a pretty striking lil' thing. The only really colourful birds round these parts are the parrots, aside from that most are black or grey or dark blue or something.

 

[Denim Deb]

I think that's how it is w/most birds, they're not overly colorful. You get those few that are and they make you stop and pay attention.

 

[Northed]

Today, saw pigeons lying down on the ground beneath some trees having some time out. It was slightly amusing. From a distance, the birds looked a little like very small dogs

 

[Northed]

Oh, bother.
I think it's important for all folks to have something cool they can chill out doing when everything else becomes hectic.
Random piece of non-advice for the day.



Saw no cool birds today at all. Probably because I've been inside all day, but usually there is a specimen or two lurking round in the trees outside

 

[Denim Deb]

I couldn't agree w/you more. That's why I own horses and a canoe.

 

[Northed]

Sounds nice! I fail at canoeing, I remember the good old days of going on organised camps and capsizing multiple times The only thing I seemed to be able to master without encounters with icy water was a catamaran.
