So while the rest of my family slept in I nipped out to the park this morning to see how the swallows were doing. The Cliff Swallows and Bank Swallows were a pretty nice pickup this late in the season. Overnight last night, as I mentioned mentioned above, temperatures got cold, the rain picked up, and the wind got stronger.
Last year when we camped at Langi Crossing the family of Varied Sittellas that are usually in the area had birds amongst them that were clearly juvenile. They are only 10-11cm long, so one of the smallest birds in Australia and if you are suffering from presbycusis you will be relying on your eyesight for any little bit of movement.
We had a blast, the family and I, and experienced some amazing natural places, to say nothing of the fine city of Seattle. I got sunburned, Desi suffered a nasty cut over his eye, and all three of us sneezed and sniffled and hacked and coughed with colds. Here I am, back from my first ever visit to the Pacific Northwest. Scary nice.
While eating lunch with Daisy and her family at a picnic area in Joshua Tree National Park the other day a small chipmunk-looking creature ventured out of the rock formation we were eating next to. The cute little critter was clearly looking for a handout which we did not provide.

The Hyacinth Macaw is more than just another pretty face; these birds are social with strong family values. The Hyacinth Macaw doesn’t start a family until it is seven years old. Last but certainly not least, the macaw suffers along with the other species in its ecosystem from rampant habitat destruction and deforestation.

I come from a family where the worse the situation, the faster and more furiously the wisecracks fly, so I suppose I’m hardwired to look for humor.

These families dress their monkeys, feed them at the dinner table and treat them like any other member of the family. Who suffers?
