Whether or not you believe it and I’m sure almost none of you do, the story of Noah’s ark and the creatures arriving two by two is a delightful tale for children. Until every creature on earth had one breeding pair on the ark is a story that delights kids. It still delights me for any number of reasons, not the least of which is what a mess that ark had to be.

Wish we had swans around here. Alas …

You don’t? I’m surprised. They aren’t a native species having been brought here by English settlers way WAY back. I know some swans travel to the arctic to breed. We currently don’t have swans, but we did. I think they moved on when first it got too cold, and then the drought hit … and now, the places they nested are too deep for nesting. Actually, that means right now we don’t have any water fowl except herons who nest in trees. I hope they come back. They were my favorites.

I wish they were cool and more comfortable. They had tons of hanging strings that caught on all my toes and we lumpy. But they really did look very cool.

Thanks Cee. I had more than I remembered. Now, my main goal is hoping the sun comes out and it stops raining all the time. We have a very serious mud problem.

These are picked from my archives, so they are ALL favorites. But, my two favorites are the swans and the mating woodpeckers. I get to see a lot of mating birds and a lot of their babies, too. 🦢

Thank you. I love when they get into their mating rituals. The woodpeckers are the cutest. He brings her a little piece of leaf or something else to show her he can build a nest. Then he sings to her. If she is still interested, he brings her a piece of food (suet, usually) and IF she takes it, they are wed for life.
Recently, I read an interesting article in one of my bird mags and apparently, although technically monogamous, they cheat. Both males and females go astray. Do they also fight about it back in the nest? Inquiring minds want to know.

Since we no longer have ANY requirements for the presidency, I was thinking of putting my dog up for election. He is smarter than most of the candidates.

Same here lol although mine also tells me when he wants to go to bed, when he wants to play, and even when he doesn’t like my horror movies. He hates horror. So I have even put on cartoons and we watch them together. He likes the Grinch.
