Happy New Year...

I have been negligent, or down right lazy, in not posting since end of Oct. I can say that a lot has happened since then. But most have not been that interesting.

On the bird front I was able to identify my first Northern Shrike. The Shrike is predatory songbird that likes to eat little chickadees and other birds that I have been trying to attract to our backyard. In addition, I noticed a Robin that has claimed our backyard neighbor's crabapple tree as it own and have been chasing other birds away. It's kinda interesting to see this...

Just purchased a ringtone and realized what a ripe-off it is. We paid $2.49 for a 15 second snippet that goes off whenever you get a call....Also, they have something call megatones, which is a poor excuse for a ringtone and paid $1.99 for that priviledge...Another reason why I hate phone companies.
