  Life in the Bristolwood — Authority: 125
  Mark and I went out to do some last minute shopping in Canandaigua late this afternoon.  As we drove into town, Mark inquired what I wanted to do first.  Why, head down to the City Pier, of course!  After all, I had some cracked corn to feed my web-footed friends.  As soon as we stopped the truck, this little ...

  It blows here. — Authority: 109
  On Solstice, we made treats for our local birds and put them out. Ive been saving these sunflower seed heads for months just for this purpose.

  Life in the Bristolwood — Authority: 125
  Have you noticed everywhere you go, people are wishing everyone “Happy Holidays!” instead of Merry Christmas?  Yeah, I know….don’t get your knickers in a knot…right?  It is just that it seems with every year that passes, Jesus is becoming less and less the center of the celebration. I guess the name of ...

• Winter Birds

  
  Davenport Library Info Cafe — Authority: 124
  That wintry landscape means difficult times for our feathered friends. While some birds fly south for the winter, many common Iowa backyard birds stay – chickadees, song sparrows, cardinals, juncos – and stick it out through the brutal cold and snow. You can give them a helping hand – and in the process get a ...

  That British Woman — Authority: 130
  She has now taken up birdwatching, with the help from her mummy!!  I moved the ottaman beside the window so she can sit there.  I then moved the old patio table to the other side of the window, and spread bird seed on it.  She can sit there for ages just watching the birds.  It also alleviates the boredom for ...

• Country diary: Shetland

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 986
  Shetland There are clear skies and a pale winter sun, and I am expecting another crisp cold day following yesterdays frost and last nights star-filled sky. Instead I open the door to find to my surprise that not only is there a subtle warmth to the day, there is also no breeze. Perhaps the bulbs which pushed green ...

  Life in the Bristolwood — Authority: 125
  Okay, so we *did* have a bit of a Chinese Fire Drill the other day when I awakened my kids early Monday morning for their early morning dental cleaning….only to drive the seven miles to the dentist to discover the appointment was today!  The gentle receptionist did take mercy on me, not laughing at me at all.  ...

  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 986
  Wenlock Edge The first voice sounds like the worn-out squeak of an old-fashioned toy repeatedly pressed by an owner who hasnt had enough of the joke yet. The second voice is a deep bass "kronk" from a throat which gargles sump oil. The voices of the ravens pass overhead, muffled by fog. They are flying on the very ...

• Ever Heard of The Trogon?

  
  Scienceray — Authority: 515
  Image Credit Considering that they have been around for forty nine million years, it is surprising that the Trogons are such little known species.  Perhaps it is time they changed their agent.  Where did they get their strange name from?  Its roots, like so many other words, are in the Greek language.  Trogon ...
