Birds

this was sitting on my brother-inlaws deer target. It's a young bird but I don't know what

Hmmmm......it's got the posture and glassy-eyed stare of a mourning dove. Fairly certain that's what it is.

I had this one here all afternoon long. But every time I grabbed my camera it was hiding in the higher branches of the tree

What's with the "everytime I went to grab my camera" stuff?
Don't you know you're supposed to sit for hours just holding your camera and waiting? Silly girl.

That goldfinch was probably enjoying some of the seeds your perennials have exposed - coneflowers, black-eyed susans......

It's extremely rare for me to watch a movie, let alone actually go to a theater. The subject matter got me on this one.....Joel, if you haven't seen it, you might want to.

The Big Year - 8.5/10

I really enjoyed this. If you've got any interest at all in birds and know that sometimes you're a nut for caring so much about them, you'll definitely get a charge out of this movie. Steve Martin is always good for a laugh. There are a few unrealistic parts, but the whole thing works. And at PG, it's clean as a whistle which works for me.

I want to see this but find Jack Black to be annoying. How is he in this?
