Every morning now it seems a couple more Siskins have come into our garden.  Gone are the days when I would see only one or two.When you are face to face with a tom turkey this time of year you can fully appreciate the relativity of “beauty.”  Somehow the hens seem to find the breeding season males to be attractive?  Ther bulbous barble ’bout the face baffle my brain. Blue faces have been passe since the last English-Scots wars. The Proturding Carbuncle is the ultimate touch Two Ravens soaring in a kettle that included several TVs as well. Standing on Lithia Park Bridge 33, no Dipper. Then suddenly the bird flew out from the nest box beneath the bridge, stopped on a stone, took a drink.  Then back to the nest.  Incubation is a thirty business. Peekabo sparrow. Peregrine that sped past me at Ashland Pond last yesterday. I am told the owlet (biggest one at least) is now visible at times at this nest. Osprey at Emigrant Lake, perched where it can eyebll the nest platform. Male Pintail on the shore of Emigrant Lake.  Numerous Green-winged Teal were also among the Mallards.
