My friend Vincie said be sure to take your granddaughter to the National Aviary. A terrific recommendation.

At the Mechanic’s Lot
Guest blog. Michael was waiting to get his “new” car checked out. Look what he saw on the passenger’s side.
Sunday Guest Blog from Ottawa
This guest blog is from my friend Joanne’s sister, Mary, in Ottawa, Canada.
“They are little goldfinches in their winter colorings and fluffed up against the minus 18 (Celsius = minus 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit) temperatures….In the spring they start turning yellow and then are really pretty. We get a lot of both gold and purple finches …. and chickadees, redpolls, cardinals of course, big and small woodpeckers, blue jays, and many others. Wild turkeys occasionally, the dreaded grackles and crows. Right now with the deep snow the birds spend more time hiding in the woods somewhere so today was a nice surprise.“
Kennebunk Maine Seagull- Guest Blog
Eleven degrees in Kennebunk, Maine. Cold!
This series of photos of a persistent seagull pecking on my friend Carrie’s car hood arrived in my messages tonight.
Thanks for sending these shots.
I asked if he did any damage to the hood
Carrie says,
”Oh, I didn’t look. Don’t think so. I finally put it in drive and went forward. He stayed on. So I put it in reverse. He still stayed on. Then I backed up and turned to get him off. The little guy was enjoying the ride.”
