Today is Lise’s annual Groundhog’s Day Party. We are patiently waiting for the throngs of attendees. There is one minor glitch though. Winter storm Linus seems intent on crashing the party. Somewhere between eight inches and a foot of snow predicted. At least if we’re snowed in we can eat well for a week or two. We have enough food and booze to feed greater Okemos. Not quite the Donner Pass thing. The lizard doesn’t have to worry about us looking at her as a source of protein.
Linus, Day 1.
We didn’t get out much this week but still got some good birds. Lise had a Cooper’s hawk fly through our bird feeding area. Friday we got a peregrine falcon on the power plant across the river from Moore’s Park and yesterday we got a merlin at Potter Park. We are both at 81 species for the year, but with different species. I have a Northern gannet which Lise does not. She has a double-crested cormorant which I do not have.
For some reason Tumblr just had to change the way information and pictures get posted on the blog. They just can’t seem to let well enough alone. Probably a bunch of bored programmers snowed in by Linus that are taking their frustrations out on the civilized world. So until I figure out the new bells and whistles, and get the damn thing to stop trying to think for me, the layout may look a bit odd.
