Any of you guys birders? I'm a very casual one, but I've just found a site where you can record your observations on a regular basis. It's My Yard eBird, and the data will be available to birders, ornithologists, and conservation biologists. Looks like it's North America only, at least at this point. I got a new feeder last weekend after rescuing another little finch that had gotten trapped in my old one. The new one is a Brome Squirrelbuster Mini, we'll see if it does a better job of keeping the squirrels off without being a problem for the birds than my old one! I can already tell the birds like it better, I've seen a gorgeous male goldfinch in full mating yellow plumage at the feeder regularly over the past two days, and I think I'd only seen one once in the whole time I had the old one. I also saw a female hairy woodpecker at my suet feeder twice yesterday, and that's the first time I've seen one there.
In TV news, Sarah Connor Chronicles kind of blew me away on Friday. Did Not Expect That!! Wow. Dollhouse bored and disappointed me. I actually fell asleep during it. Flashpoint was good, though. Supernatural... not sure quite what I think about this week's ep yet. Still mulling that. O.o (Though on the shallow side, I have to say Misha Collins is hot. ;D) On the non-US TV front, Primeval is back! Yay! Love that show. I'm a bit surprised, though that Steven really does seem to be gone. I guess I'm used to US shows and a US show probably wouldn't do that. Am also very much enjoying Murdoch Mysteries this season, though the tension between Murdoch and Dr. Ogden worries me a bit. The show is usually very good about not having any really obvious anachronisms, but last week's had a fairly glaring one. I really don't think they had full-color glossy mugshots in 1895. ;D

I'm in town but surrounded by acres of undeveloped tree covered hill side... living in a small cottage built by my cousin over 20 years ago. I am usually so totally blissed out that I hardly want to leave my deck.
There are great horned owls, barred owls, tufted titmouse, junco, phoebe, goldfinch, blue birds, chickadees, yellow bellied sapsuckers, pileated woodpeckers (I about flipped out when I first saw them) and several other varieties of woodpeckers and birds (who knew there were so many).
That's not even ALL of them. OMG! and then there are the critters and the snakes, turtles, frogs and ... bugs. A veritable smorgasbord of nature.
What I meant to say was thanks for the Bird Watching link. I'd like to participate.
