This video is R rated, and we’re not entirely sure where it comes from, other than being YouTube. But hey, if you’re looking to talk like a Japanese prostitute, this is the instructional video to watch.

It’s day one of the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) and by 7:30 a.m. we had four bird species visit our feeders. And one pesky squirrel who approached our feeders with impunity. It was quickly shooed away. The rest of the day produced some more local species and a boat-load, or feeder-load, of squirrels. This [...]
