Hev,

Some birds are as hard to identify as some locomotives. In this case the variety of plummage carried by
Pete's birds is confusing. They do have a resemblance to the chickadee pictured above, but the beak
differentiates Buntings from Chickadees.

Doug,

One of the snow buntings is a Mae West impersonator.

"Ahhh, my little Snow Bunting."

Sorry Wayne, it just ain't the same.

Can anyone explain why I saw a bunch of robins outside in my bittersweet today? And NO it's not the drink, but I'm snapping one now. What a fonking week from hell. Only one good thing happened this week, and we all know what that was.

[The Dirt]

Tramp, robins!?

I think I know what they're thinking,- "Hope springs eternal..".

Same as me.
40's today! Sweatshirts!
Day's getting longer, sun's getting stronger!
Here'e our lilac bush an hour ago...



Glad I got those snow buntings when I did. They seem to have moved on.
Hobos, no doubt.
Their home territory is "the Arctic tundra", (Peterson's "A Field Guide to the Birds")

In Orangeville!!

What can be next, weather-wise, but...

Can't explain it but around here some never left. We see them at the feeder everyday. Maybe something to do with the housing crises down south?

Love the sound.


Hev,

How much can one as seen in the movie above haul/pull? How is it measured?

[The Dirt]

Man, those steamers can flat-out PULL!!

That thing is pulling that 5-bottom, when it is past the camera, when it's barely faster than 'idle', without even so much as a HINT of a stumble.

I guess I wouldn't have expected otherwise, when I watch a steam-tractor pull a maxed-out sled the entire length of the run at R&T.

THE WEDDING TEST

I was a very happy man. My wonderful girlfriend
and I had been dating for over a year, and so we
decided to get married. There was only one
little thing bothering me...It was her beautiful
younger sister.


My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very
tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. She
would regularly bend down when she was near
me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to
be deliberate, because she never did it when she was
near anyone else.


One day her 'little' sister called and asked me to
come over to check the wedding invitations. She was
alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she
had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't
overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once
before I got married and committed my life to her sister.
Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.
She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if
you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me."


I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go
up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, then turned
and made a beeline straight to the front door. I
opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.
Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing
outside, all clapping!


With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and
said, "We are very happy that you have passed our
little test. We couldn't ask for a better
man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."



And the moral of this story is:



Always keep your condoms in your car.

That one is easy, they have turds for brains.

OK... seriously, the Robins (Turdus migratorius) that live in Nova Scotia do not migrate, The ones you saw were just visitors without visas.
