I saw a cool bird this morning, never noticed it in my yard before...It was pretty big, and it was a beautiful rusty brown color with a white spotted belly. Was going to town tearing up my mulch.

Google says it was likely a Brown Thrasher...which is a badass name and exactly what it was doing to my mulch - thrashing the crap out of it. He was doing it just to do it, and having lots of fun.

Yeap a brown thrush. They are good at mixing up mulch. Apparently they get the bugs out.

Can you imagine what a surprise the Cowbird feels when it hatches?

We have crazy numbers of cow birds. Their call is strange.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Don, I don't know if folks caught your question about the cow bird.

they lay their eggs in other birds nest.

Cheaters.

I will never forget the first time I heard a Screech Owl!!!! I was deer hunting 4am just had got in my deer stand and a few minutes later it let out a scream that made me nearly fall out of my stand!!!!!!

Yea that's why some of our birds are disappearing! Mom and dad birds just don't realize what's happening!

I suppose I should have mentioned that peculiar trait, but I assummed that everyone would know that.

An early 30th anniversary present from my wife. I'm now up to 6 headphones and counting.

 

[wildcatdonf]

What ever happened to him?

I now know what happened to him, and I know that he was built like a brick ****house.

70's Warrior-Cat:

In an apartment in Frankfort Germany 1977. Nice military hair cut right? We were encouraged to keep our hair longer to blend in, The Bader Meinhoff Gang and the Red Army Faction were targeting Americans in the 70's and 80's.

Wife and I watched The Highwaymen on Netflix this past weekend. Pretty solid flick about the dudes who shot them.

Are those high top Chuck Taylor's?

 

[UKWILDCAT2004]

Hello D league!

How is everyone?

 

[warrior-cat]

Are those high top Chuck Taylor's?

Yes, had both high tops and low.

 

[Ben101er]

I remember when our basketball team got our first leather low-cut Chuck's. I believe it was 69 or 70.

All the cool kids had em.

Yeah. Costner is hit and miss with me. I think he's better when he let's someone else direct. Don't know if he directed that but I would be surprised if he did.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F. We received a small bit of rain. Expecting upper 80s later today. Oh, that humidity.

Great throw-back pic, Warrior. Love it. Yeah, those effen German gangs (Bader-Meinhof and Red Army Faction were a pain in the ass back during the good old days.

We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

I would love to see this. Is it only on Netflix.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good morning D-League

Morning temperature is 63° and this afternoon it should reach 83° with plenty of good ole sunshine. If we are fortunate it will be in mid 80's the rest of the week.

Yesterday I picked a whole bunch of banana peppers in my little garden and fried them up for supper. Fresh picked fried banana peppers rule.

Have a great day all.

Just saw yesterday, Netflix is raising prices.

This boy has been hanging around in the back yard after my wife threw some old bread out by the lake. This is a Florida Wood Stork and what is interesting is it is the only stork that breeds in North America. It is on the endangered species list.

Sawnee_Cat, man, the lake water level looks like it's a bit down right now. You all might need some of our deluges of rain that we've had up here.

 

[gocatsdotuk]

Gmorn Dlers,

A brisk 50° here in thisish hole.

Spoke with movers...going to drive the truck. So towing the car is out. Going to drive behind and let them worry about the hassle.

Appreciate airyone's advice...lol.

ETA: Saturday afternoon.

So anything happening in Lex then?

Playlist for the chill car ride back home?

I'm Back!!!!

It is way down. Fortunately it is spring fed so we have fresh water coming in all of the time. Our rainy season kicks into gear around the first of June which is the start of hurricane season. If we can get about 20 inches in a day or so all will be fine. But it is not at a crisis level yet.

D-League,
Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well today. It's a cool, crisp 55 degrees right now, headed for mid 70's later on with more rain (just what we need around here) headed in for tonight/tomorrow. It's been great to get outside the last few days with the nice weather. I already have good sun tan, and it's only early April.

Question for the D-League......have any of you all taken a vacation to Hawaii? If so, I'd like to learn more about your experiences. I'm considering a 25th anniversary trip there in a couple of years and want to start thinking ahead about it. One of my students at school, recently moved from Hawaii to Chattanooga and he was talking about the best deals for accommodations being some lesser known bed and breakfast places rather than the resorts in the glossy magazine ads.

It's going to be costly, I know, and that's why I'm thinking ahead now. I've been fortunate enough to travel all over the world, but I have never been to Hawaii.
