Aug 1, 2010: Last spring's mystery bird Left out of the bird pictures from last spring was this mystery bird: I finally dug around in my bird books and identified it. It's a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Jul 31, 2010: Last spring at the park Rather belated pictures of the birds at LaFreniere Park from last March (2010). ( more ) Jul 31, 2010: Hummingbirds and Not Hummingbirds While on vacation at my in-laws place in Tennessee this month, I watched lots of ruby-throated humming birds come to the feeder and flowers on her back porch. The males would chase each other and all the females away from the feeder; it was a wonder they got any chance to feed themselves because they seemed to spend all their time chasing. The females would swoop in and feed while the males were off chasing someone; it was entertaining to watch. ( more ) Apr 28, 2010: I haz babiees! I picked up a new fish on the way home from work--a red-tailed black shark, who is currently mellowing out in his bag as the pH and temperature equalize. Before I put the bag in the tank, I fed my 3 White Clouds-- And noticed the small cloud of darting, glowing things. Huh? On a closer look, they turned out to be tiny, tiny fish hatchlings. It appears my White Clouds have spawned. There's at least 11 of them, possibly more. They may starve, they may get eaten by the shark, they may get sucked up by the filter, but hopefully some of them will survive. I didn't know White Clouds bred that easily in captivity. Apr 18, 2010: Mourning My remaining cat died today. Apr 16, 2010: I haz fish! Wednesday, I finally went out and got fish. I got 3 White Clouds, some fish food, some plant food and took the whole lot home. The fish and plant food went on the tray where I keep the aquarium supplies. The fish went in the aquarium.
