But a friend who is an experienced scout leader and camper, and his wife, both of whom are volunteers at Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve with me, organized two family camp outs in the last few years. This is our second, and most successful outing. While Dr. Frog, Karen's husband the biochemist, led the group of eager ...

I'll never figure out how they can hold a bug firmly in the beak, and sing or scold at the same time. They particularly like to sit on the chairs around the patio table while delivering dinner to the chicks. Are they calling to waken the babies? To make sure no predators are around?

Life, Birding, Photos and Everything: How Many Languages Do You Speak?

Asked the question, "What is interpretation? Since all of us were CIGs, we all should have known that answer easily, but silence filled the room. I always struggle with that term, yet no one has come up with a better term. NAI defines interpretation as "a mission-based communication process that forges emotional and inte...

Aren't you supposed to slow things down when you retire? It's been a long time since that happened, what should we do about it? Let's take a walk on the Anchorage Trail. Listened to some birds and posted on eBird - I'm getting better at that. And we found this giant. Saunders Springs Nature Preserve. Located on the edge of...

As we walked the trails, we tried to identify the flowers, with some success and some failure. The blue Chickory is not native to Kentucky, but doesn't seem to be so invasive as other immigrants. Gray-headed Cone flower is pretty easy to tell. The heads are gray when it first blooms, but turn brown as they mature. I used to ...

Whoever named all the warblers has a big problem with yellow birds, because so many warblers have yellow. So there is the Yellow Warbler - which is all yellow, or the Yellow-throated Warbler - which has a yellow throat (duh! Or the Common Yellowthroat, which has not only a yellow throat but a yellow belly as well. Never mind all those tall funny lo...

I have been incredibly busy/unambitious/lazy (take your choice of adjectives) when it comes to blogging lately. It can't be the weather - that's been pretty good. It can't be age. Can it ( shudder. Could it be exhaustion from over commitment? Even the grasshoppers took advantage of the warm sunshine. I suppose their eggs wi...

Luna moth male - large antennae. Links to this post. Labels: Creasy Mahan Nature Preserve. Sunday, August 03, 2014. Gold on the Wing. Everyone loves the bright yellow American Goldfinch, right?

In the winter, I just lose all interest in going outside on a cloudy, gloomy day. "Gloomy" is the key word. Go out for a walk when the sun is gone and the wind blows down my neck no matter how tightly a scarf is wrapped? Mallards in head bobbing - courtship behavior. Red-shouldered Hawk keeping warm. As I headed back to...
