I have had biker friends earnestly tell me that they think it is annoying to runners to constantly call out so they don't. They just don't know, really, what it is like to be startled by a metal kite with 150 pounds atop it providing force flash by suddenly within a foot at 28 MPH.peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284634727671648704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437804737085732748.post-20737773476770870872008-04-24T17:40:00.000-05:002008-04-24T17:40:00.000-05:00I saw these same birds while running in northern C...I saw these same birds while running in northern California last weekend. They are gorgeous, but these birds were mute. I could have used a little accompaniment. Glad to hear the thaw is finally happening up there.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437804737085732748.post-71068156819905632942008-04-23T21:30:00.000-05:002008-04-23T21:30:00.000-05:00Life is good, isn't it?

We all need to consider ourselves as ambassdors of our individual interests and recreational activities. The more polite and friendly we are to one another makes for a better world overall!<BR/><BR/>It is a great time of year to observe many forms of natural wildlife (Even the flicker working on the tree next door early in the morning)!CewTwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559024822260264420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437804737085732748.post-34159343794152570572008-04-23T10:03:00.000-05:002008-04-23T10:03:00.000-05:00How lovely...I took a picture of a bird who made a...How lovely...I took a picture of a bird who made a nest in a tree in our backyard yesterday. She is sitting on some eggs. Not sure if it's a dove or pigeon (I'm not too knowlegable about birds) but it is so pretty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437804737085732748.post-20287780866765452202008-04-23T09:31:00.000-05:002008-04-23T09:31:00.000-05:00I don't think I've ever seen a red-winged blackbir...I don't think I've ever seen a red-winged blackbird, a cardinal or a blue-bird. We have blue jays (okay, really they are Stellar's Jays, but we call them blue jay) and Pileated woodpeckers and flickers and downy woodpeckers and starllings and robins and...more. But not the bright colorful ones.Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.com
