I think we saw a gyrfalcon on saturday. Alex, is it possible? It was HUGE, bigger than any eagle I've ever seen. But it had pointy bent wings like a falcon, and very dark, almost black, on the underside. We saw it quite close up, near the north shore of Lake Erie, which I know is a hot spot for migration.

What better way to celebrate than with a record dramatizing the novel's steamiest scenes, complete with orchestral accompaniment? Unless you consider “phallus” and “sex” to be obscene words, you'll find yourself quaintly charmed by the idea that this once caused an uproar, even though the anonymous actors do their best to sell the sex with breathless, melodramatic readings.

Both the jacket and the album feature the notation, “Vol. 1,” on all sides, suggesting that this was the first in a series. As the album covers the entire plot of Lady Chatterly's Lover, I must assume that they never found another piece of adult-oriented literature worthy of adaptation.

For my "Pointy Stick Award For Practicing Ludditry With a Computer", I tried to be clever and do a superposition of images in html. This works in firefox but renders badly in internet exploder.

Oh wait. Now it sort of works. Sort of. I'm too tired to futz with it. If I'm lucky, I might get a link from the mighty PZ Myers, and I don't want a badly broken post that mocks a luddite. I got the idea from here. Here's another version ...

Wall Street Journal on birding tech. I’ve got eastern bird songs on my iPod, and I’ll probably get a management program like birdjam, but I haven’t really found myself using it in the field. The real test will come once migration gets going and the singing starts in earnest.
In the meantime, anyone want to head up the Hudson for Ivory Gull and Snowy Owl?
