Not just wrong for our time, wtf
With Bush at the trigger
Our problems are bigger
Than Ken Ham helping God self destruct

A pretty cool site for respite from the Red state blues.

Baltimore Oriole at Goldsmith - Brookings County

The Oriole was the first one we have seen at the lake this year. Great assortment of swallows along the shore, Eastern King Birds, and a Flicker here and there. I hear the Great Crested Fly Catcher but haven't seen them for a few days. Still lots of waders in the fields but we have not seen the Belted Kingfisher for about a week. Blue Winded Teal, Mallards and Common Mergansers are nesting. Nice view of a Marbled Godwit yesterday in the pasture just north of Volga-he didn't care much for the dog in his area. Lots of House Finch, American Gold Finch, and yellow warblers in the tree belts and the ever present Song Sparrows and Clay Sparrows along the gravel roads and we hear the Brown Thrashers but it is hard to get the glasses on them.

Canada Geese have their gosling on ponds every morning now.

Birding Bonanza

South Dakota Species and Species Photos

The past 3 days have been incredible birding days for us. Every morning brings several new species. We spotted a pair of Great Horned Owl fledglings perched on a low tree fall just on the far side of the road ditch. They looked like a couple of house cats sitting on their perch. There have been Common Yellow Throats and Yellow Rumped Warblers, sparrows (the wonderful song sparrow call) and finches (singing for all they are worth) of every variety, Red Wing and Yellow Head Blackbirds, Cow birds and a Belted Kingfisher, egrets (Cattle and Great) and Great Blue Herons (with the breeding feather trailing from the head), willets, sandpipers & yellow legs among the shore birds, teal, mallard, golden eye, wood ducks and cormorants, all sorts of Canada geese both giant and regular, pheasant and grouse, mourning and Asian collared doves. Frogs and muskrats in the ephemeral streams and gophers along the roads add to the scene. After winds exceeding 55 mph on the weekend the past 3 days have been virtually calm. Bicycling birders couldn't ask for better conditions and all less than 5 miles from our back door. We have the red color out to attract the humming birds that should be passing through soon.

The bees and the Monarch Butterflies have been spending time in the apple tree that is in full bloom and an occasional dragon fly stops by the fountain in the back yard.

You have all heard about the campaign in Vicenza, Italy, which is to become one of five "enduring US military communities" in the "Old Europe." In Vicenza, the US is trying to double the size of the base and has run into great opposition. The other four "enduring communities" are to remain in Germany, per US plans, and they are also being enlarged and will remain the biggest of all (Kaiserlautern/Landstuhl/Ramstein and Vilseck/Grafenwoehr and Ansbach). The US is also building "forward bases" in the "New Europe" and investing funds in these bases in Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, etc. The US is proposing a so-called "missile shield" in Poland and the Czech Republic, and opposition to this is building.

A Global Democratic Movement Is About to Pop

AlterNet: EnviroHealth: A Global Democratic Movement Is About to Pop:

"The promise of this unnamed movement is to offer solutions to what appear to be insoluble dilemmas: poverty, global climate change, terrorism, ecological degradation, polarization of income, loss of culture. It is not burdened with a syndrome of trying to save the world; it is trying to remake the world.

There is fierceness here. There is no other explanation for the raw courage and heart seen over and again in the people who march, speak, create, resist, and build. It is the fierceness of what it means to know we are human and want to survive."
