The Flying Mullet: Virunga
http://flyingmullet.blogspot.com/2015/02/virunga.html
You should watch Virunga for its breathtaking natural beauty and its heart-wrenching story. I was captivated by the scenery and then held in suspense by the stories of the people. Their dedication to conservation and the wildlife in this park is unparalleled. Virunga is streaming on Netflix or you can learn more at their website. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Flying Mullet: Cows in the Snow
http://flyingmullet.blogspot.com/2015/03/cows-in-snow.html
Cows in the Snow. Cows always seem to be curious in our actions. They pause and watch us full-on. There's no sideways glancing or feigned interest. They turn their bodies and heads and look at you. Usually after awhile they go back to feeding or walking or chewing their cud but it's that moment when you and a cow lock eyes that always speaks to me. Did I mention that I love cows?

The Flying Mullet: Breaking Into Birding
http://flyingmullet.blogspot.com/2015/04/breaking-into-birding.html
Do you remember the spark bird that turned you from casual observer to birdwatcher? Mine was a group of birds - warblers. It occurred in the spring of 2007 at Green Cay Nature Center and Wetlands. Something about identifying the birds felt so perfect. If you know someone that has an interest in birds but isn't a full-fledged birder yet then I have a place that is sure to spark their love of birding. Breaking Into Birding. Is a new session at Hog Island Audubon Camp. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Flying Mullet: Winter Birding Around Cayuga Lake
http://flyingmullet.blogspot.com/2015/03/winter-birding-around-cayuga-lake.html
Winter Birding Around Cayuga Lake. The past week was a breakthrough with a few more year birds to add to the list. After two weeks of temperatures hovering around zero and no new birds I was beginning to get a little itchy. This is my first year living in a truly cold winter (who knew Colorado had mild winters! And my cabin fever was setting in. Spring can't come fast enough for New York! Overall, great birding on Saturday and though I dipped on both a Snowy and an Eastern Screech-owl on Sunday it was a ...

The Flying Mullet: Amish in New York
http://flyingmullet.blogspot.com/2015/03/amish-in-new-york.html
Amish in New York. According to Amish American website. New York state has the 5th largest Amish population in the country. As I drive into the agricultural lands surrounding Ithaca I have encountered a few horse/buggy signs but it wasn't until Sunday that I spotted my first signs of Amish life as many people were heading home from church. I probably will never know first hand but I bet it requires warm clothes and a short commute. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Why The Flying Mullet? A naturalist l...

The Flying Mullet: A To-do about a TUDU
http://flyingmullet.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-to-do-about-tudu.html
A To-do about a TUDU. Tufted Duck on Cayuga Lake, New York. When I finally succumbed to the cold, I gave the Tufted Duck one last glance with my glass and said goodbyes. It's always nice to see a lifer and it was even better shared with a large group of like-minded individuals celebrating the rarities of life. Good luck TUDU - may you find your way safely when spring comes. Labels: 2015 Big Year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Why The Flying Mullet? Energy and persistence conquers all things.".

The Flying Mullet: New York Big Lifer Day
http://flyingmullet.blogspot.com/2015/03/new-york-big-lifer-day.html
New York Big Lifer Day. This past week was an exceptional bird week or I should say bird day. Sunday I went birding with the Cayuga Bird Club. At Myer's Park I saw my lifer Surf Scoter and Red-necked Grebe. Then we searched the agricultural fields where we found my lifer Lapland Longspur. I even snagged that photo above with the spur showing! Red-necked Grebe - Lifer. Surf Scoter - Lifer. Lapland Longspur - Lifer. Trumpeter Swan - Lifer. Tufted Duck - Lifer. Labels: 2015 Big Year.

The Flying Mullet: Horses in the Snow
http://flyingmullet.blogspot.com/2015/03/horses-in-snow.html
Horses in the Snow. Many young kids dream of owning a horse but I wasn't in that camp. I preferred running through the woods and playing basketball with the boys than riding horses. We had a horse named Strawberry and though she was kind, she didn't feel like mine. My father would have us train her and it felt more like work than fun. Though my trip was mostly to relocate a Snow Owl and Gryfalcon (which I dipped on both! Labels: 2015 Big Year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Why The Flying Mullet?
