4 The Love Of Animals

When you own a furry feline, you’ve got a friend for life! And what’s great about owning a cat is how laid-back and relaxed they are.

This Memorial Day weekend may still be rolling for Americans, but even the standard two-day array can hold a lot of excitement this time of year. This is a precious time of year, so make every moment count. I was pleased to discover that Hooded Warblers can be found consistently at my mother-in-law’s home, but they weren’t my best bird. Instead, I lucked into the best sighting I’ve ever had of a male Mourning Warbler in the same spot.

If you’ve ever tried to break a bad habit or encode a good one, you’ve learned how critical the concept of momentum is. The key to a long-term practice is that initial daily commitment, even when inertia and business conspire against you. The month of May stands out in most calendars as peak birding season for good reason. But lots of interesting birds hang around, even if most migrants have fled to their next season’s sanctuary.

Somehow, when I started writing this story, I just could not get Maria Muldaur’s 1974 hit out of my head… ”Midnight at the Oasis” Well, last Sunday morning it was not midnight, but in fact 6:30 in the morning when I was sitting in my hide, waiting for enough daylight to be able to get some photos. The sun did finally show up, and so did the birds.

When Daisy started talking about a family trip to Maine for the long Memorial Day Weekend I had one thing on my mind: puffins! Atlantic Puffins are easier to see, and see well, in Maine than anywhere else in the United States. Fortunately, just like when we visited Washington State , Daisy was amenable to taking a boat ride to see some puffins so on the evening of Saturday, 27 May, we (me, Daisy, Desi, and my mother-in-law) found ourselves on a boat in New Harbor watching Black Guillemots swim i

Black Woodpeckers are usually easy to find in Germany. Yes, some birders may frown at this statement. At least one birder will now likely grab his war hammer and check flight availabilities from New York to Frankfurt as well as average prison sentences in Germany for first degree murder. However, even in the age of alternative facts, there is no denying it: Here in Germany, Black Woodpeckers are no big deal.

Last month we were driving south from Wiluna towards Lake Miranda when the sky became very threatening late in the afternoon. Our original plan had been to travel off-road for some distance to camp, but we were able to pick up a mobile phone signal and checked the weather warnings. Our plans had to change! The rain radar did not look good and there was also a severe weather warning that included everything from hail to strong winds to the south.

If you do eBird , there’s a pretty good chance you were birding somewhere on May 13th. You may have birding from the window of your home, you may have been counting birds at a local wildlife refuge, you may have been counting birds on a feverish run from one end of a state to the next. No matter how you were digging the birds on that day, you probably also put the results into eBird, and in doing so, took part in the biggest day of birding ever.

Your dog might understandably be quite apprehensive about going to the vet and the whole experience is often very stressful for them.
