December 6, 1973: Birds Leave Manchester But Others May Come - The Carroll Record

Birds Leave Manchester But Others May Come

The Carroll Record, December 6, 1973.

The birds are gone from Manchester's Christmas Tree Park, but nobody is sure for just how long, including the "expert," Nelson F. Swink Jr. of the Wildlife Services Division in Annapolis.

The town turned to Mr. Swink earlier this year for help in getting rid of the hundreds of starlings and blackbirds that had come to the park to roost for the second straight year. "I was just getting ready to come up there when the mayor called and said the birds had left of their own accord," Mr. Swink told The RECORD this week. "That's a big roost," he said, "and I think they will probably be back.

There is a winter roost and a summer roost. I think the birds that just left were the summer roost, migrating south." But he believes the winter roost is on the way. If they do arrive, he is prepared to come to Manchester as promised and bring a variety of noise makers with him which he hopes will make life so miserable for the birds that they will decide to leave.

20070531 How to Keep Chickens in a City

Join the "urban chicken movement"

How to Keep Chickens in a City

Retrieved May 31^st, 2007 – posted June 3^rd, 2007

Oh Sugarshoot – I can just see some neighbors in some neighborhoods going bonkers with this…

Although my neighbors probably would just shrug their shoulders and not care…

I have a real childhood affection for chickens. On my grandfather’s farm, I loved to visit the chickens. In one of my more famous childhood events, I let all the chickens out – because, as I explained to an ever-patient Pop-Pop, “they wanted to go outside and play…”

Enjoy.

http://www.wikihow.com/Keep-Chickens-in-a-City

Join the "urban chicken movement" and raise your own backyard flock. Chickens are both entertaining and useful to keep. Don't expect to save money, though your hens will earn part of their rent by laying eggs for you. What follows is a brief introduction to keeping chickens within the constraints of an urban environment.

Chickens can turn slugs and kitchen scraps into fertilizer and eggs. Magic and fun!

20070531 Feeding time for the baby Robins

Feeding time for the baby Robins…

May 31^st, 2007

Several weeks ago we became the landlords to new tenants at our wildlife reserve here in the Westminster City Limits – a family of Robins decided to build a nest right outside our back door.

Today, I tried (once again) to get some pictures of Mr. (or Mrs.) Robin feeding their chicks…

I know very little about Robins. Although I have observed, what I have hypothecated to be, Mr. and Mrs. Robin trading places in tending to the eggs and the hatched chicks…

As an aside, I’ve always liked my digital camera – although I at first, reluctantly let go of my old professional grade Konica camera equipment.

Rarely have I missed the old Konica equipment – until moments like this… With my old Konica film camera I could zero in on Mr. and Mrs. Robin as if you were standing inches away from them.

Not so, with the current grade of point-and-shoot digital equipment that I have – “Nikon Coolpix 5200,”

So I guess now that I have truly discovered the drawbacks of the current grade of equipment – I either need to go out and purchase an upgrade – or what I may very well do; and that is - - go upstairs in the attic and dig out my old equipment…

Anyway – enjoy the pictures.

Sing to me

May 14, 2007

This post is dedicated to The Ridger over at “The Greenbelt;” Jeremy Bruno up on the “Voltage Gate;” Julie Dunlap at “Pines Above Snow;” and Aydin Örstan at “Snail’s Tails.” (… and Grammy.)

One of the neatest things about the Maryland Blogger Alliance are the number of great science, environmental and nature blogs that have come on board…

I found this while traipsing through some science blogs and thought it was a soothing way to start the week.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YzlTB8fEsA

Hat Tip: “Inky Circus:” “BBC + Youtube = Good stuff.” “…a David Attenborough clip of a lyrebird 'singing'. I found it on YouTube some months ago as an illegal upload, and it's now up there as an official kosher BBC Worldwide clip. It's superb - it features the lyrebird imitating a camera shutter, a kookaburra and a chainsaw…”

Way too cool.

Enjoy. (I think my favorite was the imitation of the camera shutter with motor drive…)

Kevin
