So for something different we got another four inches of snow last night. Somebody must have thought we were running short. So when there’s not much exciting going on you may as well mess with the lizard. We put her in the shower, one of her favorite exercises. Exercises as in something to do, not exercises that make muscles. So she was in the shower hanging out and loving the warm water for a while until we finally pulled her out. To pout she went into the corner under my desk.

Fido in the shower.

We did get in a little birding today. We went to Moore’s Park, in Lansing right across the Grand River from a power plant. The power plant towers kind of dominate the downtown Lansing landscape. They have blinking lights so they’re nicknamed Winken, Blinken, and Nod. Anyway, we got greater scaup, horned grebe, and the peregrine falcon that has been hanging out at the power plant. Lise has 64 species for the year and I have 61. So we’re averaging about two species a day so far. Not what I would call a blistering big year pace but given our nasty weather I can live with it.
