Quasi-Full Moon

The shes are more interesting than the hes
Regular at the suet
A poem, no doubt
Important advice, portent, or incantation
Hospital
Lovely night for a walk
The clothesline
Purple finch doing her prairie dog pose
In committee
Wouldn't face it
Pine siskin
Blue
Half a century or so
Larry who quit his job to write poetry
Chickadee

Harrison diverted by old technology
Not the orb of the hour
We should be glad the Outer Space Treaty is in eff…
Flicker about to tuck into the suet
1990, not Mars
Cousins
Goldfinches in the snow storm
Out the front door a few minutes ago
Not long up, wet, and waiting a turn at the feeder
Askance or a once-over?
Outside the front door this evening
Snowbirds and raspberry finch
An *ordinary* pine siskin
Shed Quarters
Good peristaltic function
Green-morph pine siskin
The neighbours' back gallery
Crow
Nuthatch outside the window
Moss spore capsules
This is a picture of a Golden-crowned kinglet
Didn't get any bird pictures
Just past full, the moon over neighbours' yards
I'm more the bah-humbug sort of person
Evening grosbeak
Raspberry finch
Moon just showing through

New-word Day


I figure it's a good day when you learn a new word.
Halteres. I didn't know what they were until I noticed the little paddles on the sides of this dandy-longlegs walking about on our kitchen ceiling today. (We brought the cat's grass box back inside and a couple of dandy-longlegs a week emerge. The cat appreciates us for doing so.)
Halteres (singular 'haltere' and apparently both pronounced three-syllabically at least in traditional Biology-talk) are the evolutionary result of a pair of wings not being needed precisely as the other pair were. So they became like really smart stablisers.
