TID-BITS
INDEX UP-DATED AS OF 07/08/08
Tid-Bits but not necessarily birds or wild life.
**********************************************************
In the small town I live in is a small park and in that park is a small lake.
On the above date the temperature was 115* almost every day during July.
This means all must drink much water.
Now if you are at or by a lake it wouldn't take much smarts to figure out how or where to get that drink, would it?
But not so for a Grackle and a pigeon today.
********************************************************
You can see there is a park and a lake, plus a nice water fountain.
Only the water fountain is for people not the bids.
Do you see the grackle on the fountain?
********************************************
OK MAN, I'm ready for the water turn it on.
****************************************************
Ain't no water down here either
Maybe we are doing something wrong whata think?
******************************************
A bad move by the pigeon.
What you need to know is,
Grackles show territory protection and aggression by pointing their head straight up
**************************************
OK Grackle,
I ain't looking for no fight.
You can just keep your ole water fountain and I will go down to the lake and get my drink.
************************************************************
As I was leaving I noticd a bird out on the lake.
Hummm not seen one of these on this lake ever before, better take a closer look.
************************************
It's a Double crested Cormorant.
