On a clear (mostly smoke free) day.

A few vineyards got snowed, but I think most survived the fire itself.

It’s hard to kill palm trees. This guy will probably come…[Read more]

One of the most comical things you can watch is a lesser golden finch chasing bugs.

All I have to do is mention they good eats and we get a real conversation going @nvwino @twowaystreet

I haven’t shot anything (dead anyway) in decades. At least I’m fairly certain I haven’t, though with this heart shit and all the drugs afterward, I can’t be certain of that.

We spend a small fortune each year feeding the birbs. All kinds of…[Read more]

I’m my opinion. @twowaystreet.

Now with climate change, parasitic organisms have moved northward into Texas causing a lot of diseases and worm parasites for ground birds, even chickens. So their numbers are on the decline. In years gone by, it took about 30 bobwhites to make a meal for 4 people. That is the whole clutch.

@sffh So he shot some quail and invited me to dinner. There was hardly enough meat to taste. Waste of a good bird in my opinion. I would rather feed them than eat them.

More interesting, I got to hold an Oscar that night. Seems his daddy did the sound for Ben Hur.
