Viewing the lunar eclipse this past Wednesday

Published bypaul under astronomy,nature,science

The total lunar eclipse that took place on Wednesday night, February 20, 2008 was nothing short of spectacular. About 40 degrees high in the eastern sky, the bright full, white moon slowly darkened from Earth’s shadow over the course of a couple of hours. While it was hard to see the shadow actually creep across [...]

Hamster tries to get through the door

Published bypaul under Pets,internet

This amusing hamster video gem came from the blog GiggleSugar, via Cute Overload. To quote GiggleSugar, this hamster is “persistence personified.” Cute Overload says the best part is at the end. I agree. Hamster tushis rock. And with music from Queen, it’s a win-win!

Count von Count from Sesame Street goes rated R

Published bypaul under Television,internet

Everyone loves Sesame Street. Bert and Ernie, Big Bird, Grover, Oscar the Grouch, and the elusive Snuffleupagus. But then there’s Count von Count, a vampire who lives up to his name. In fact, if it wasn’t for Count von Count, I probably never would have made it out of Nursery School. We recently came across [...]

The Great Backyard Bird Count, Day 4 (Feb. 18, 2008)

Published bypaul under bird watching,nature

Today, the last day of the GBBC, was a rainy, balmy President’s Day and from our vantage points, it looked like many of the local birds decided to stay dry. The sun started to peek out around mid-afternoon. It was a slow day for birding, so, not much to report. Here is today’s tally: Blue [...]

We had two feeders filled with black oil sunflower seeds, one feeder filled with peanuts, a platform feeder with nyger seed and chopped apple, some more peanuts piled on a giant tree stump, another platform feeder filled with corn [...]

The Great Backyard Bird Count, Day 2 (Feb. 16, 2008)

Published bypaul under bird watching,nature

It’s Saturday, February 16—day two of the GBBC—and it was a slow morning thanks to the squirrels that gorged themselves on corn, sunflower seed and peanuts yesterday. At one point, there were three of them hanging and feasting on the feeder at one time. We ran a few errands earlier in the day and picked [...]

The Great Backyard Bird Count, Day 1 (Feb. 15, 2008)

Published bypaul under bird watching,nature

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 [...]
