Wow! Must be wintertime? Ours don't cooperate like that in the summer. Is that a sock you made yourself?

I'd been thinking about putting out jelly for our Orchard Orioles, but didn't know how. Thanks for the tip!

Cooper's Hawk Strikes!

Posted on August 27, 2008 at 9:32pm 1 Comment

A raptor, probably a Cooper's Hawk, just picked off a Morning Dove in our back yard. In the Torey Pine tree about 50' away ripping the feathers off preparing for a feast.

We put out bird seed for our feathered friends. Mostly it's for California Towhees, Spotted Towhees, California Thrashers, and House Finches. Lately, however, the Morning Doves have been getting the "hawk's" share.

Greetings, Jim! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus since July 2009. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

I'm actually using the one you were kind enough to make for me. It's quite nice.

One of my favorite sayings:
"Revenge is a dish best served cold"
p.s. very funny!

It's a real cute name for an all chick website but here, definitely NOT! My avatar was a painting by Michael Parkes of a semi-nude woman, and I got 3 friend requests, all from guys, in the 5 minutes that I had her posted - and decided that she just looked too whore-y for this site. So now, I'm stuck with her, because I just tried to quit my Planet Bitch page and Ning still won't let me get rid of my original "Goddess" screen name; sorry to run long but I'm kinda worried about this ...

Thanks for the image - I've deleted her once, but she refuses to die. She must really be a godess!

Do feed hummers in the summer (hah - that rhymes!)?
I always put away my feeder when its flowers are blooming because I'm afraid that they might need minerals or something from the natural nectar - however, it's time to start feeding them again already.

Thank you very much, it looks great!
