I and The Bird #23
I and the Bird #23 is up and running at that other bird blogger from Washington DC, Nick at birdDC. As usual, he has done a bang up job, and has sweetened the pot even more (as if the best collection of bird blogging anywhere needs any sweetening) by offering up a free Field Guide

More Beauty.
I imagine that, if you read this blog, you read Pete McGregor’s blog pohanginapete. If you don’t you need to. Stunning photographs coupled with brilliant writing make Pete stand out above most of the blogosphere. Back when I was first tagged with John’s Beautiful Bird meme I tagged Pete. I had hoped that he would

A bounty of Beautiful Birds
A short time back, John, the affable host of A DC Birding Blog, started the Beautiful Bird Meme. Deceptively simple, the rules were simply to list the ten birds one considered the most beautiful, mark the ones seen with an asterix, and then tag three others.

Travis and Leah were still sleeping, and as I thought about getting up to get a coffee a visitor arrived. I’ve spoke before about how

Legal everywhere – I and the Bird turns 21
One of my all time favourite things to do is browse through bookstores. I’m partial to small independant bookstores, especially those with books stacked this way and that on the shelves, much like my shelves. But give me any bookstore… even the mega stores (okay it is nice being able to have a double shade-grown

The good Raven seal of approval
I’ve decided that the House seems to be a magnet for animals. Of course I’ve mentioned the House Hare, who while he/she doesn’t stay around all of the time, spends a day or so every week here. There were the two wolves that had stopped by this past winter, and the lemming. About a week

How did this happen?
Seems like I just read all of my favourite blogs and now everyone has two or three posts up. Did I get sucked into a vortex or something? Not only that but two of them are carnivals! I really really said I was going to have a post for I and The Bird #20, seeing

I and The Bird #19/Crane Cam
Wow! Where did that two weeks go? The latest I and The Bird is up at Science and Politics and it is massive! It is so good to see this grow and grow, and even better to see that many of the old favourites are still there. There are many jewels there, including the always
