I'm all better now.
Throwing up is the worst thing my stomach can do to me. I can remember every single time in my life that it's happened. I will spare you the list.
Let's look at some birds, shall we?

Uh oh. Another house finch with conjunctivitis.

I don't think this is my favorite orangy house finch. But isn't he pitiful looking?
Where's the red, man? I'm going to look up plants with lots of carotenoids.

The chickadee parents are super busy right now, feeding at least two wee mouths, and also getting enough food for themselves. Aren't you glad you aren't a bird? We can go stock up on food for 2 weeks if we want. Birds have to find it all day, every day. And they make time to sing. I think there's a lesson there.

We hit the dog park at Armleder today, and Isabelle found this little guy. Man, she is bug-crazy! She will pick up worms, pill bugs, centipedes, millipedes, beetles, anything that doesn't have a stinger. She draws the line at bees and wasps.

Nellie was plumb-tuckered out after the dog park.

Okay, a caption contest...I need captions for the following two pictures.
Have fun, guys!
