Thanks Mike and Dave. Mike, that chart is very illuminating. I had no idea
there were that many species. Amber seems a good way to describe what I saw as
red. It seems a monumental brain task to sort out all the flashing going on
but just having these different parameters in mind would help
Think it is a good year for fireflies!. Jerseybirds had a post of a great
display last week down in NJ. I also had one of the best displays in years in
my yard in McGraw.

Just heard a distant coo-coo-coo, coo-coo-coo, coo-coo-coo coming from the

That's a great website for a neat project, Mike! On the discussion board, a

For the second time in 20 years, we had a brief visit from an adult RH
woodpecker this morning. The first time, which was at least 15 yrs ago,
one stopped in for a quick bite at our sunflower seed feeder in early

Enjoying coffee at my beach, I just saw a juvenile male Mallard beating up a
big Crayfish to soften its scales.
Duck repeatedly tried to swallow it with no success, then chomped it several
times again with its bill before trying to swallow it again.
After about 5 minutes of this action , it
In addition to the usual breeding warblers and other forest birds,
exploring around Summerhill so far this morning has turned up a continuing
CLAY-COLORED SPARROW singing from the middle of the Christmas tree farm on
Lick Street just north of 90 (audible but mostly not visible from the
road), and
Hi Dave,
People do perceive colors differently due to both biological capacity and
training. This is an area of active research.
Regarding biological capacity, most people have three types of color
receptors in their eyes, each of which is most sensitive to a single color:
red, green, or blue.
On the other hand it could have been s very tiny low-flying plane.

Gallunile families.
I hope you'll excuse this being somewhat off-topic, but I could use some
sage counsel. I have an old mailbox that I was thinking I could nail up in
a tree in hopes an owl would roost in it. Am I deluding myself? If this
is a realistic possibility, are there things I could do to make it more
Photographers from what I have seen, do what they want
I feel I have to defend my co-photogs by commenting that it's not just
photographers that get out of their cars on the wildlife drive ;-)))
Also a quick comment that Montezuma is out of the ordinary in requiring
everyone to stay in their
