Happy (Belated) Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day...
I started this post thinking about Mother's Day, and what the most appropriate content might be only to finally realize that there really is no appropriate content. Moms do some amazing things (like giving birth), and there ain't much that a "shirt-tail" writer like me can do to elucidate the whole motherhood thing. I'll just say, "Thanks mom, it's good to be alive... Hope you enjoyed the home-made clam chowder...", and leave it at that.

Set up the NovaBird camera yesterday... Hence the photo above. Obviously, it ain't much, it's just an adolescent oriole, but still, pretty cool. Kinda' reminds me of "Vince" the "Slap Chop" salesman.
(If you're smart, you'd close this window right now and go do something useful with your time. I'm about to go down the "Goofy Lane" and it ain't going to be pretty.)
Yup... Yup... Yup ... I can see it now... Birds as schlock hawkers...Hi! Birdie Mays here with the new Mighty Nest It! Bind stick, twig, and feather... "Mighty Nest It!" holds it together!
Or,
Welcome to our show today folks... I'm Ron Poecile and I've got the most exciting product we've ever seen... The Poecile "CrowTime Rotisserie"! You can cook worms, seeds and grubs... Just peck it and forget it! But wait, there's more! If you order now, we'll include, at no extra cost to you a complete set of SinGu knives... (Just pay shipping and handling!)
Did I mention that I haven't been getting much sleep lately?
See you by the feeders,
