Well, for some reason the pictures won't let me insert them with the text, but seem willing to be added to a new one. Here then is the unruffled, unphased after being dived at Kingfisher...
And this would be the attacking Coopers Hawk.... This, the sassy Blue Jay...
And finally the Frigate bird I hope to NOT see after the storm...
As a side note, by the time I did get to the store, they were, of course, out of batteries. Typical.
By way of intro: I am and always have been a lover of nature. Self taught for the most part, I have worked over the years in a variety of Education Departments in Zoo’s, Science Museums, Aquarium, a nature center on Cape Cod and now, as a recent transplant to the Hill Country of TX I am trying to learn the flora and fauna here, so different from what I was used to on the Cape.
At the moment this transplanted New Englander has a lot to learn but I have always loved sharing what I do know, and so may that continue as I try to learn what is out my very different back door here.
You will also see as you read these, that I am not overly scientific in my approach. Although the facts are as accurate as I can make them, I am often anthropomorphic, and I enjoy using humor. If either of those things offends you, this blog isn’t for you. And I am a “Yea God” person, meaning, while a naturalist gets one thrill from the intricacies of the world around him, I double my joy because I am also wowed by the One who created it all.
If any of this appeals to you then, read on, write back, and contribute to the body of knowledge. I know I enjoy writing it, hopefully you will enjoy reading it.
