Thread Stealers With Too Much On Their Minds

Time to start dreaming up a new gadget cache for your Wizard of OC series Bartrod.  Mrs. Northwoods and I really enjoyed your Dorthy.

Hmmm…don’t have anything in the works but, now that I’m done mounting deer antlers for the season, I could start giving that some thought. Labzone has been constructing a new one and has a couple of more ideas that he’s been toying with.

Oconto...the birthplace of western civilization:)

I survived the cut, still working.  My department went from 15 to 6.

Good news, BBG!

My bird chase today had what is becoming all too predictable for me. The bird, which has been coming to the feeder throughout the mornings, had been there once….about 20-30 minutes before I got there. Only a couple people were there early enough. I stood watch for over three hours…no luck. It’s still fun to run into birding friends and meet new ones. One really interesting aspect to this one was the host family. The family is Mennonite. The wife and her sister are both very avid birdwatchers. In fact, we were all offered a copy of the current “Feathers and Friends” magazine published by the Mennonite/Amish birding community! Who knew?

If it comes around consistently again and I have a nice day next week, I may skip my morning coffee and head right up the road after getting dressed. Sigh.

Holy cow BBG, is your dept going to be able to function OK with such a drastic reduction?

For years I’ve been putting out two feeders with sunflower seeds and two or three suet blocks. For years I’ve had two mourning doves hanging around but seldom if ever a blue jay.

This year I’ve added a feeder filled with a trail mix of millet, cracked corn, peanuts, etc. Now in addition to all the usual suspects I’ve got a half dozen mourning doves and it’s not unusual to see blue jays.

The family where this bird is being seen feeds black oil sunflower seed and have suet logs.  She makes her own suet with lard, peanut butter and cornmeal.  Darn bird was seen this morning at 7:50.  I need to take another ride and get there by 7:30.  This w eek end is not an option.

I saw lots of goldfinches, redpolls, both downy and hairy woodpeckers, blue jay…and only one junco and one house sparrow.

My sister had a robin at her feeders the other day. Spring?

I don’t know.  I am preparing for some overtime.

Walking by the 4-K kids at lunch today. One of the kids said “Hi Mr. Nagel.” Another kid said, “That’s not Mr. Nagel. Mr. Nagel is old!” (Mr. Nagel is about 20 years younger than me.)
