saddest thing I read lately:
"Sometimes we tell jokes to lighten the mood although we don't laugh at the jokes."

Closing out the Holiday Season on Epiphany with The Twelve Birds of Christmas – Brooklyn Edition (OK, a couple of them are bugs, but let’s not quibble.)

FALCON

Merlin Falcon at Owl’s Head Park

SCAT

Scarlet Tanager at Owl’s Head 11/9/08 (very late)

RUSTY

Rusty Blackbird in Prospect Park (40% decline over the last 20 years)

OLIVE-SIDED

Olive-sided Flycatcher at Calvert Vaux Park

EYED ELATOR

Eyed Elator! Calvert Vaux Park

MONARCH MATES

Monarch sex at Calvert Vaux Park

HORNED LARK

Horned Lark blending in with gravel at Calvert Vaux Park

GOLDEN PLOVER

American Golden-plover at Calvert Vaux Park

BLUEBIRDS

Eastern Bluebirds at Owl’s Head Park

SANDERLING

Winter plumage Sanderling at Dyker Beach on Gravesend Bay

WILSON'S

Why does Wilson’s Warbler insist on showing me its rear? Owl’s Head Park

And the first good bird of 2009 (well, it’s early.) Can you pick it out among 700 gulls?

GULLS

Look closer, middle back, bigger than Ring-billed, smaller than Herring, darker than either, but not quite as dark as Great Black-backed…

GULLS2

Maybe from this angle…

LBBG

Yes it’s a Lesser Black-backed Gull on the Lake in Prospect Park; a good rarity in the City (of course there are plenty in Buck’s County PA, but in bird watching everything is context.)

Do earthquake swarms precede caldera eruptions? We don't know. But hopefully not, since there has been a recent swarm of earthquakes in Yellowstone.

We found this game in a closet at the bighouse.
We brought it down here. Dave was good at it.

I had an email exchange with this guy about an old Huichol yarn piece we have (and he told me its not art but craft, art came about when the gringo's helped deepen the symbol's etc, I understand his points, not sure I agree completely but he has spend his life protecting the Huichol, bless him BIG!!!, we do have two works by one of his group of artists he supported, they are great)

and than his grandfather, wow
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Negrín

During the Spanish Civil War Negrin took the controversial decision to transfer the Spanish gold reserves to the Soviet Union in return for arms to continue the war. Worth $500 million at the time, critics argued that this action put the Republican government under the control of Joseph Stalin.
