manpris — coolness or just plain dumb?

I give you Exhibit A, the Manpri pants.
I saw a guy here wearing these and couldn’t quite decide (NO, I didn’t take his picture. What would a man in manpris do to you if you took his picture? Karate chop? Scratch your eyes out? It’s a wild card.).
A […]

Attention! Reptile class now in session!

Since we had all those thrush photos here and here and here and here, here and here, today is equal time for reptiles.
Geez, I was turning into a birdieblogger. So, this is probably not equal time…
We saw the Reptile Man today. Once again, another excellent show.
Cobra, looking all mean and scary.
These guys, Gaboon […]

of birds and berries

Just wanted to show you guys that the Swainson’s thrushes definitely have feathers and that one on the left was looking at me, eyes wide open! (his little black eye is partially behind a twig)
Hey, lady, no nest shots!

I can’t imagine them flying off in a day or two, but that’s what I calculate. […]

Thrush Nest Update

OK, there’s not much to update you on (great update, Wendy!).
We still have two baby Swainson thrushes and a mama who flits in and out with snacks (what she’s feeding them I don’t know). Feathers are coming in, but unless they have their beaks up it’s near impossible to see […]
