Our days often started with Capyberras. But today we started as the sun was rising in search of Giant Anteaters – and we weren’t disappointed. Not only did we find one that we were able to get close to, but she had a baby with her. What a way to start the day. Walking backContinue reading “Pantanal, Brazil: Day-2”

Pantanal, Brazil: Day-1
Here’s where the adventure started. My friend Sue took this photo. Every trip that I take is full of promise. Some deliver quickly. This is a Guira Cuckoo, a bird that I wanted to see. Getting it quickly and easily made the first day a success hours into the day. Shiny Cowbird on a capyberra.Continue reading “Pantanal, Brazil: Day-1”
Back from Brazil and thinking about Primates
Gary Larson sure had fun with Jane Goodall. Watching the rise of fascism in the United States makes me wish that more people were like Jane. I had hope for a long time, but am no longer sure that this country is deserving of respect. At the same time I think back to Edgar RiceContinue reading “Back from Brazil and thinking about Primates”
Susan and Jane Goodall
On the last day of September, 2025 Amanda brought a large shipment of plants arrived at Whitefish Point. Since then Susan had been working 8-10 hours a day planting. The first day Amanda was there as well as friends at Whitefish Point. The second day however was after the government shutdown sadly. Lynn helped bothContinue reading “Susan and Jane Goodall”
Starting October laughing
I’m sitting watching the sun rise and thinking about the fascist government and the shutdown soI decided to start the day thinking about comics and laughing. Snoopy, Woodstock and friends celebrating the invention of the roof. Ah, the challenges of writing. What else do you do when golfing. As I think back to golfing whenContinue reading “Starting October laughing”
Great start to the day
Nothing like starting the day with the aurora on the northwestern horizon. Or as the song goes/or should go: Woke up it was a Whitefish morning and the first that I saw was the glow of the aurora greeting me to start the day… Now, continuing to check what I want to take with meContinue reading “Great start to the day”
A crazy week
Last night was a beautiful Moonrise as the sun was setting. But as it has been for awhile the week was dominated by crazy politics. Francis is a wonderful cartoon. I would recommend it to anybody interested in subtle humor. Not much to be said here. More later…
Music at Whitefish Point
Yesterday started out foggy and cool, which made it great for seeing spider webs. But the highlight of the day was a house concert at our friends Jan and Kurt’s. We got there pretty early when the only people there were working on set up. Our friend Jim introduced the band – Whirled. Once theContinue reading “Music at Whitefish Point”
Thinking about diseases as I get ready to travel
In another week I will be heading to the Pantanal, Brazil. I have all the vaccinations that I will need. Actually I’ve had them for years since I traveled to Panama. The main ones for that trip were Hepatitis-A & B, as well as Yellow Fever. So I am not worried about those. What doesContinue reading “Thinking about diseases as I get ready to travel”

Tomorrow will be a house concert where we’ll get to not only hear some music but also see a bunch of friends. Bird-wise things haveContinue reading “Whitefish Point – late September”
