eBirdseed.com, Facebook, Our Newsletter, Hummingbird Wings, etc...
Well, here it is -- the not so new eBirdseed.com Facebook connection...
I'm telling ya', ya' gotta' check this out! Go ahead and "Like" us... Don't worry, we won't clutter your wall...
Let's see... What else? I just checked out our newsletter... If you don't get it, you should. There are all kinds of sales and discounts to be had as well as some interesting birding insights. (Did you know that fireworks can be lethally startling to birds?)
In another vein, I got an interesting email from long-time reader Harry "Gipper" Morris concerning my hummingbird carving... His idea was to simply outline the wing, metacarpals, etc. in wire -- that is to say, skip the fabric entirely. And that may well be a stroke of genius. I'll have to mock up some prototypes, and a lot will probably depend on the wire used and its color, but there's real potential there. Thanks Harry!
Funny how things work out... I intended to write a lot more about birds, (or even about an ancient, horrid sci fi flick -- "The H-Man". But for some reason, my eyes started tearing and burning in a rather extreme fashion. (The only time I've ever had a more severe reaction was when I was swimming in an over-chlorinated swimming pool... Oh well... Nothing that cucumber eye masks can't handle...)
Anywho... At least we can offer up a nice hummingbird video...
By the feeders (if I can still see them),
