Very nic. This bird is similar to some of our warblers, but with different coloration. Paul > On Mar 17, 2018, at 10:34 PM, Subash Jeyan wrote: > > one more from the balcony: a tailorbird: > > https://500px.com/photo/249679207/tailorbird-by-subash-jeyan > > it is a

Very good Subash. You got quite close for that one. The warblers around here are more often heard than seen. Alan C -Original Message- From: Subash Jeyan Sent: 18 March, 2018 4:34 AM To: pdml Subject: PESO: tailorbird one more from the balcony: a tailorbird:

Re: PESO A new one for me

It’s the same bird. He just has his head tucked in on the one shot. I included it because the light is better, but it’s misleading. He has a long, narrow curved beak. Paul > On Mar 17, 2018, at 6:04 PM, Jack Davis wrote: > > Don't recall ever having seen these > cuties.

I realize all are speaking tongue in cheek here, but I recall some dramatic images from Chicago’s Southside Irish parades. And some post parade shots from NY’s Hell’s Kitchen with green garb and red blood. Great stuff. Paul > On Mar 17, 2018, at 9:48 PM, William Robb

PESO A new one for me

Haven’t seen this bird in my yard before. It’s a brown creeper and is usually found in old growth forests. Not particularly rare, but not common around here. Couldn’t get a good shot but got enough to identify him. https://www.photo.net/photo/18462484/Brown-Creeper

Re: PESO A new one for me

Fine images, Paul. The Brown Creeper is found all over the US, but rarely seen, because it resembles tree bark and prefers deep forests to suburban lawns. It has been several years since I have seen one. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sat, Mar 17, 2018 at 3:12

Why is Guinness the beer for St Patrick's day? the Guinness family is the epitome of the Anglo-Irish Protestant Ascendancy that ruled the emerald isle for centuries, and bled it dry. Guinness is as much a part of the English domination as St Patrick's Cathedral and Dublin castle. Dan Matyola

It's always a good idea to check with the manufacturer's documentation about this cleaning. That said, I don't know of any ball head brand that does not recommend cleaning the ball with alcohol. G > On Mar 17, 2018, at 9:17 AM, John wrote: > > On a sort of related

On a sort of related note ... Years ago I had an Epson impact printer. It had rollers that had to be periodically cleaned with alcohol. Then I got one of the early Epson inkjet printers. It too had rollers that had to be cleaned. But you weren't supposed to use alcohol. Nothing about it in

If that dosn't work, you may need to dig deeper. https://petapixel.com/2013/04/22/disassembling-a-tripod-ball-head-to-see-how-it-works/ Sometimes, a piece of grit may become trapped between the ball and clamping piece of plastic, distorting the plastic. The resulting "pip" will always cause
