Just filling a normal Tuesday. I did work stuff and taught a student some stuff and wrestled the email beast to the ground for another day and wrote a bunch of tweets and edited some audio and those pictures are sounding pretty good right about now, aren’t they?<\/p>\n

So here they are. This is the creek. Looked a little low, but otherwise fine, on Saturday:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And we had lovely weather on Sunday afternoon, so we sat on chairs on the deck and read and watched the birds go by.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The red-headed finches, we noticed, run this joint.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

We have an excellent anti-squirrel device on our bird seed holder. Now if only the birds were neater this guy wouldn’t be setting up camp.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Also, why do we call it bird seed? If you plant it they don’t grow into birds.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

I said, Mr. Goldfinch, the seeds don’t grow into birds.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

We have some nice cardinals around here.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And two chipmunks living in the yard, as well.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The male cardinal is a social butterfly. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

A quick search suggests that sentence has never been published on a webpage crawled by Google’s spiders. I wonder if this is the same cardinal. I don’t have a learned enough eye to know.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And, again, every time these little finches come through, whatever birds are here split.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

There must be a story there, an ornithological opera of aviary avarice about surly seed stinginess, but we didn’t hear about it Sunday. Unless we did. There was a lot of chirping and birdsong. <\/p>\n

Tomorrow: we’ll check in on the cats! And there will be a new podcast for you, as well. And maybe some other things! But you’ll only now if you come back to see.<\/p>\n

If you have some more time to kill right now, however, there’s always more on Twitter<\/a> and check me out on Instagram<\/a>, too. Speaking of On Topic with IU<\/a> podcasts, and, oh hey, did you know that Phoebe and Poseidon<\/a> have an Instagram account? They do. Check them out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
