Birdie ( no, not our Birdee) watching

by Goldie

I have discovered a new passion. Identifying birds I see. I even bought a book “Birds of Wisconsin” to better help me. Now, for years I have been smart enough to identify Robins, Cardinals and yellow finch (flying Lemon’s as my dad called them). The usual mundane sort of bird that you see on a daily or at least a regular basis. But something happened a few years ago to change that for me.

We were driving in MN through the woods of a resort we were at. Suddenly, I screamed at Mr. Goldie to ‘STOP THE CAR”. “LOOK!!!!!!! DO YOU SEE THAT?” It was a pterodactyl burrowing into the tree. OMG, I had never seen anything like it! He says to me “look at what, the woodpecker?” “Woodpecker? That is no woodpecker- LOOK AT THE SIZE OF IT!”. He looks again and informs me it is indeed a woodpecker. “Looks just like Woody Woodpecker doesn’t it?” Then he asks me “you didn’t think that was just a cartoon did you?”. Ummmm, yes. Hell, in southern Wisconsin our woodpeckers are only the size of Robins. Who knew? Apparently he did, and got a good laugh about my astonishment and awe that Woody Woodpecker was indeed modeled after a real bird (which is apparently still thriving and putting the fear of God into insects living in Minnesota).

Since that time, I have looked up birds and have been so happy when I can identify the names or see birds I had not ever seen before. Lots of new ones around the ponds we walk Pepper, and in our own back yard or at the camper.

Now we all know that birds are hatched. So finding bird eggs is exciting for me too. I have found robin eggs and sparrow eggs, etc. I always wonder when I see the shell if the bird hatched and lived or if it fell from the tree or was gotten by some varmint. I mostly wonder what kind of bird it would have been.

A few weeks ago we were walking Pepper when I spotted it! An egg I had no clue about. Hidden slightly under a pine, in the grass by the sidewalk we were on. I thrust the dogs leash into Mr. Goldie’s hand and told him to keep her away. I leaned down and peered intently at my treasure. It was slightly mud splattered from the recent rain and was a faded reddish color with and almost iridescent inside. I gently picked it up and examined it. I had never seen a red egg, and while one end appeared to be broken through, it was almost intact.

I was so excited about my find. I was going to carry it home and look it up. At this point Mr. Goldie’s attention was back to me (he had been picking up dog poop) and he asked to see it. I ever so gently placed it in his palm and admonished him to be careful. Don’t break it!!

After several seconds of looking at my little birdie egg, I asked him if he knew what kind of bird it had come from. His lip quivered and I gave him the evil eye. “WHAT?” ( I am not liking the way his lip is quivering even harder) when he bursts out laughing!! “WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT?” I demanded to know. He gently hands back my egg and looks me in the eye and says “Goldie, that is from the elusive Christmas bird”. He cracks himself up again when he sees my face and reaction as it sinks in. My prized treasure was a broken Christmas light!

Oh well, if laughter is the best medicine, then Mr. Goldie is going to live a long time thanks to all the ‘medicine’ I provide for him!

I for one shall continue my blissful search for new birdies. Never mind the entertainment it provides him.

Jodi said...

TINA!!! Congrats on first!!

LYNN D.....so close!!

GOLDIE - lol @ the elusive Christmas bird!! Keep on searching my friend!!

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Congrats on first Tina! (see I can be gracious).

Goldie great blog! I laughed out loud! Christmas bird! ROFLMAO!

The big Wood Peckers are scary aren't they?? When we lived in our old house we had one that was going after a ceder tree that was dying. He was huge and freaking loud!!! The dogs did not even bother to bark at him. I think the were afraid he would carry them off!

It has been like the freaking movie The Birds here the last few days! You would have a field day trying to identify them! I recognize the little Gold Finch, those are our state bird and of course the crappy pigeons and the starlings. The others I just call by their bird song. There is the Sweetie Peetie bird, the rusty screen door bird, the tweeter tweeter etc...

Yesterday I saw a Red Hawk out hunting, and last week our resident Bald Eagles. My daugheter came in yesterday and told me to keep the dogs in as a Mama and her baby ducks were traveling across our yard trying to get to our back acreage where the seasonal water stands. Mama is very brave or has a death wish! My dogs do not tolorate anything traveling through the area.

Loved your post today!

Birdee said...

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Tina....1st!! Congrat's!

Hey Lynn....I was wondering if your GPS is broken!!! I still have dust bunnies! ;o) Hope you're feeling better today♥

Hi there, Jodi!

Zonaaaaaa!!!!! I see you too!♥

GOLDIE....LOL wish I could have seen your face and Mr. G trying to hold that laughter in!!
Good blog!

Lynn D said...

Morning Jodi I loved your wearing the necklace like a bracelet!

Birdee GPS??? If it is not on a map I won't find you! LOL I gave up and scrubbed my tubs!

Sacbarb so glad you found a good price and are about to get you A/c fixed!

Zona said...

Goooood Mornnnning All!!

GOLDIE: Loved your blog! LOL picking up the Christmas Bird egg! It sounds just like something I would do! I'm not a big fan of woodpeckers though, not even if they are related to Woody. We see a lot of Gila Woodpeckers here..though we just call them 'Peckers. They used to like to peck holes in the side of our house..and hammer away on the air conditioner. Drove us bonkers. Screaming "Get out of here you pecker!" only got me yelled at by the neighbor to watch my language. They finally left after we hung one of those plastic owls from the eaves.

The only other kinds of birds I ever see are pigeons, doves and wrens. Oh..and one time, a roadrunner! No coyote after him though. ;)

Great blog today GOLDIE. I love that you've found so much joy in looking for different birds. It shows that the simplest pleasures are often times the best!

Birdee said...

Lynn, that's ok...we had storm's going through here before 6a.m....would have been a rough ride to my house. I was going to vac, but thought the power could go out at any time. The dog's were a nervous wreck.

Mo, I see you were getting the storm's last night?!! How'd ya do??

Sacbarb, good to see you got a lower est. for the A/C.

MEK, Thank's for the heads up on Medium..I thought is was done last week. It was good.

Zona said...

TINA: Congrats on FIRST!

LYNND: Your mention of the birds reminds me that we also have these HUGE crows here. Some of them are as big as a small dog. And boy can they 'talk'...sheesh..

BIRDEEEE!! Good to see you my fuzzy friend! :D

JODI: One ringy dingy... ;)

Birdee said...

Morning Zona!! yelling at the 'pecker'...crack me up!

Zona said...

BIRDEE: How are the pups doing? Please give them a head rub and ear ruffle for me, kay? :)

Birdee said...

I think we are going to have more storm's today, so I should prolly get in the shower before too long.
I hate showering during thunder storm's!

Birdee said...

zona, they're doing ok....gotta make Boz's second appt. for his injection's...then we should be done!
He needs to go in next week!

Birdee said...

I do think he look's a little bigger since being on the steroid's! He def was looking for more food all the time!

Zona said...

BIRDEE: Pretty soon all the neighbors were calling them that! Every morning you would hear from different backyards "Get out of here pecker!" "Knock it off you stupid pecker!" I was like a kid, I got such a kick out of it! :D

Zona said...

BIRDEE: I think gaining weight and being hungry are pretty normal for a dog on steroids. I hope his second appt goes well!

Zona said...

25 for TINKA!!

Zona said...

Ok...gotta go finish the laundry..MO motivated me!

Have a great day everyone!

bonachichi said...

Hello Tina, Goldie, LynnD, Jodi, Birdee, Zona and everyone coming in later.

I had heard there were names besides "big", "little" and "what was that?" for birds but didn't realize normal people knew them. Wait. We're not normal.

Have a stunning day, for everyone just starting theirs out!

bonachichi said...

Zona's trying laundry? If her life is anything like Wipeout, she's embarking on the Obstacle Course of Humiliation right about now.

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!

Congrats on 1st tina~

glad you are getting a chuckle out of my blog. I told Mr. Goldie that I wrote it and he laughed all over about it again.... :)

Zona, we used to have a brain damaged woodpecker who spent hours every day pecking at the aluminum canoe we had.

Hope everyone has a great day- busy as all heck here at work!

Lynn D said...

Good Morning bonacci and goldie!

Loved your blog, I was cracking up when Mr. Goldie told you it was Christmas Bulb.. kudos to you for loving the quite entertaining bird.. I don't know much about Birds, except for what I see in Birdee, and I must say the entertainment factor is highly addictive.. :O)

bonachichi said...

Okay, I can still be productive for another hour or so. I'll stop hurling insults. Don't know what came over me. All in good fun and no harm intended, Hooters!

Tina~in_ut said...

whabbear said...

East Bay J said...

Good morning!

Goldie what a great blog! I cracked up when I read about the Christmas egg!

Thanx for the laugh this morning!

Tina congrats on 1st! :)

We have some little quail that live in the neighborhood, and just a couple weeks ago I saw 2 of them on my back patio, by the sliding door! They are so cute.

I need to get dressed and go do some errands this morning.

Have a nice day everyone!

Vig said...

Happy Tuesday, little Owls!

Goldie...you have started a busy day with a big smile! What a cute story!!!!! And what a great blog! Thanks!
We have a lot of the same birds that LynnieD described...since we are just across the Pacific River from each other! We also have kamikaze crows who dive bomb when one is walking down the street eating something! It can be slightly disconcerting when about to take a bite of something and big crow flies down and tries to steal it!

EBJ...looking forward to my favourite bird's next Youtube video!!!

Thinking about Tinka and hope she is having a fabulous trip!

Have a great day everyone!

Iteach I am so rooting for Mr. Iteach! I know he can do it!

sacBarb said...

Happy Tuesday Owls.

I just listened to a doom and gloom speech by our Governator. His solution to our budget problem is to cut education, public safety, and health programs and to sell off state owned real estate, including prisons. Well isn't THAT special!!!!

I hope we have no fires (this is the beginning of fire season), and I hope the criminals didn't hear his speech, and I hope no one gets sick, because there will be no one to fight fires, apprehend criminals, or tend to the sick.

Crap, if I didn't just update my kitchen and get a new A/C (tomorrow), I would move to another state.

sacBarb said...

So Goldie, you found an egg of the rare Christmas bird! How very eggciting! (sorry) Your Hubby should always carry a camera so he could capture those looks on your face when he sets you straight.

The houses across the street back up to the levee of the American River and there are so many birds around here. I should really get a book and learn the names of these birds.

I recognize the doves that nest in my carport and of course the owls. We also have magpies with yellow bills that I am told are only found in northern CA. I think we also have peckers around here, but I didn't know they were birds.

sacBarb said...

Tina, congrats on #1.

LynnD, congrats on #1.1

Jodi, love the necklace as a bracelet. Nia Vardalas is on the view and it looks like she is wearing our traveling necklace.

Zona, When we were in Arizona my Hubby pointed out this this long-legged bird and said it was a road runner. I laughed because I thought he was kidding. I thought it was only a cartoon bird.

MEK, Thanks for the Medium alert. I missed last week and I thought that was the finale. I would have been really pissed if CBS hadn't picked it up and it ended with 'to be continued.'

Waving a wing to Birdee, Bonacci, Bear, EBJ, VIG, Carol, and all who land later. I am going to try again today to get some cleaning done around here.

Vig said...

TinaBobeena... Yup, this Viggy Wiggy is from VIGtoria in VIGanada!!!

Birdee said...

Afternoon Everyone!!

Tina, LOL! I'm afraid my egg's look more like Dodo bird egg's!! ;o)

Sacbarb, I heard about the cut's in Ca. too. I hope they at least find a way to keep helping the elderly and sick!

Hey LYNN!!!! I have managed to clean up the dust bunnies! I figured if you could get to your tub's, I should be able to at least handle a few bunnies! LOL
Now, I'm even managing to clean the kitchen sink's! WTH has gotten into me??? Maybe it was MO's blog and Zona getting busy with her laundry. ha!

Hello, to all that flew in after me this morning!

xoxo

Tina~in_ut said...

Goldie~ I just read your blog to my co-worker...she laughed so hard...she said, "See..that's why I don't write! I can't write like that!! That was so good!"

Zona said...

BONACCI: I haven't injured myself yet doing the laundry..at least not today..and I haven't washed a load of water either..but there's still time... :D

LYNND: LMAO!! Good for you! :D

TINA: Yep..we have crows..oh and mockingbirds..and hawks..I forgot about those. I remember seeing the Canadian geese flying overhead at your house...so pretty.

MEK: Everything is hard on a laptop..ijs..

CPGEM: JuMpInG aNd WaViNg AtCha!

VIG: Don't forget about those hairy wayward eagles.. ;)

SACBARB: LOL..we have those kind too! ;)

BIRRRDEEE: I'm tellin' ya..Mo's blog has worked wonders..lol..

HI BEAR!!!! :D

Just_Lin said...

Tina Congrats on being first today! You beat out LynnD by a feather.

SacBarb LOL @ your neighborhood peckers. I have a couple of those around here, too, but I also have the occasional Downy Woodpecker. They're pretty small.

Goldie Great blog today! LOL @ at your Christmas Bird egg.

I really enjoy watching the birds and have two books and a couple of websites that help me identify them.

I have a not so nice bird story today. I was thinking that my oldest cat seems to be feeling better and apparently she is. When I was going out the back door with my hands full of bird feeder stuff, the cat was going with me and suddenly had a dead bird in her mouth and was trying to bring it back in the house. I had to block her with my feet so she took it down into the yard. She was happy as a lark (no pun intended) but I got a plastic bag and took it away from her. I have figured out what happened to the bird when I saw the little feathers stuck to the outside of my kitchen window. :(

J/LIN: Nikki did the same thing with a bird last week..she pranced around with it in her mouth..she was so proud of herself..ick..I told her next time I'm going to wash her mouth out with Scope.. ;)

Zona said...

SHIRLEY: There you are! Thanks for the updated list!

Zona said...

I need more 69s..so..

Zona said...

YAY!!! Mark that down SHIRLEY..I have 3 now...woohoo!! :D

East Bay J said...

Hi again!

JL that is a sad birdee story :(

Not too long ago, I went out the front door and there were birdee remains spread all over, it was sickening. I had to get MR. EBJ to clean it up.

We hardly ever see neighborhood cats, so I am not sure if it was a cat or what that did it.

It is possibly goingto rain here today! It is in the upper 80s but kind of cloudy and gloomy. Strange for June!

Tina we took Nancy back to the vet clinic last night, the gal who raised her is keeping her until Friday. We will go and officially adopt her Fri. morning.

We will keep her til next Monday then Stacey will babysit again, due to me having to work some extra days next week.

MR. EBJ will pick her up after work next Thurs. and we will keep her full time after that.

I am missing her terribly today...

Shirley thanx for the stats! It's half way through the year, and I have not gotten a 1st.

I think it's safe to say that will probably stay the same til 2010! haha

East Bay J said...

ZONA!!! Congrats on 69 today!

Zona said...

EBJ: Thanky!! Friday is going to be a very happy day at your house..and next Thursday even happier..congrats on the new addition to your family! :)

East Bay J said...

From Area 51:

MO, yes MR. EBJ was cussing away during the Bacherette! It is pretty funny as he usually has his lap top fired up, but pays attention to the show too.

He is grossed out by the foot fetish guy. He also can't stand David, the one with anger issues lol.

I was surprised she kept either of them, but maybe she likes having her toes sucked. And maybe she didn't see how drunk and messed up David is.

This season is not disappointing with all the AMAZINGS and HERE FO THE RIGHT REASONS they say on each episode!!

bonachichi said...

Zona, I figured you'd get sucked into a giant washing machine, run on the spin cycle for few minutes, then someone would dangle chocolate bait a few hundred feet away while you drunkenly try to get your prize.

Vig said...

Shirley...just to add to your very impressive record keeping! I have had one very little first. I've only had one, so I know I've had it. It was May 24th! Thanks, kiddo, for all that you do!

Zona....yup, on this side of the Pacific River outside of North America our bald eagles are hairy!!!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Sorry Bonacci. I will add it on. I knew there were a few days in May that I didn't keep good records. I guess May 24th was one of them. Sorry.

goldie said...

Hi everyone, thanks for the nice comments and I am glad i could put a smile on your face. Or a chuckle in your belly.

bonacci- oh, I know you were laughing AT me, not with me. I was too!

Shirley- this makes 2 blogs for me this year! Just saying..... :) But only 1 69... ;(

Ok, its busy here and I have to get back to work.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Congrats on 1st Tina!

Good afternoon Lynn D, Jodi, Birdee, Zona, Bonacci, Goldie, Carol, Mek, Whabbear, EBJ, VIG and Sacbarb.

Great blog Goldie! Thanks for the laughs (sorry it was at your expense though). You sound like a very entertaining person to travel with.

Sorry for being MIA lately. Dealing with mum, family and lack of money is taking it's toll. Didn't want to bring all that here.

One day I thought of coming here for some sane conversation and then realized that I was coming to a place where everyone thinks thay are owls (except Birdee and Mo who think they are a bird and a pig) and where the conversation could be anything, something, nothing or more likely porn! It did make me smile though.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Goldie I haven't added todays to the stats yet.But I will.

Birdee said...

Shirley!!!!!!! HI!! HI!!
Happy to see you up to posting! By the look's of my stat's, I best be get'n my chickenbutt in gear!!
LMAO! @ your last paragraph there!!


Well, I cleaned up the junk mail Mr. B keep's piling up with the reg. mail and unclogged my bathroom drain.....I think that is enough for today. Don't you?? ;o)
I may need a chiropractor after dealing with that drain!

Damn Mo's blog!!!! LOL j/k

Tina~in_ut said...

Hell Mo~ Yesterday I went home and swept the kitchen and dining room...the Mr wanted to know if someone was coming over, then I cleaned the kitchen after dinner and finished the wash. I paid the bills and mailed a christmas card that came back in January~ (guess who?) AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!

Vig said...

Shirley....that was me Viggy who had a first on the 24th. Thanks!

howdy all! I visited my Brother in the nursing home today and had a great day at the casino. I think I am out of my "funk".

My biggest peeve today is having someone lie to me. That is the consequences on putting stuff out on the internet. I was told one thing, go online (fb) and see this person telling quite a different tale. Don't worry lol, it's none of MY buddies. Ah, relatives, dontcha just love'em!

Carol do you have an album on Myspace of all the traveling necklace pictures?

Guess I could go look and see for myself!

iteach said...

Good evening Owls!!!

I feeeeeeeeeeel so relaxed right now.

Besides being the last day of school, I also did the end of year retirement party.

Carol, you would have loved this one. One of our kindergarten teachers retired and she wanted a "yellow" theme party. By the time I got done decorating it looked like Big Bird threw up.

iteach said...

Now I can actually read comments and get caught up with everbody.

I am so out of the loop.

I did recognize Jodi's birdhouses on the main page, so I know I'm not totally forgetting about everyone. LOL

Speaking of birdhouses, Goldie, I loved your blog today. It was funny and it was about birds which I find interesting too.

iteach I'm glad you're feeling more relaxed now that your school year is over. I hope we'll see you in the next more often now. :)

Goldie...that was funny! I could just picture you gingerly picking up the "egg" and then look on Mr. Goldie's face as his lip quivered! Your words painted a great picture! Thanks for the laugh!

TINA...grats on 1st.

SHIRLEY...thanks for the stats update! And your description of us was hilarious!

Mary/MI said...

iteach, you already sound relaxed. Good for you!

Goldie, I forgot to tell you how much I enjoyed your blog today. I got the biggest giggle out of the "Christmas egg"!

Maureen said...

Oh, and I forgot...

HODI...holy craparoni...that is some rack!! Do they have their own zip code???

Just_Lin said...

HOdi That's one hell of a rack you've got there! The only way I'd get that kind of cleavage would be if I squeezed my arms together!

Mary/MI said...

Jodi are those from Mother Nature?
I think Miss Cali bought a set just like that! :)

Tina~in_ut said...

Mary/MI said...

Tina, I think that is called
c-l-e-a-v-a-g-e!

Mary/MI said...

Goodnight to all incl. all sweet lurkers :)

Hi, Zona, Shirley, and Sacbarb!

... scrambling eggs for Tina... shoving them in her face...

... wouldn't do that if I hadn't gotten drunk in the park first! LOL@Joey!

Sacbarb: I just paid a grand total of 28 dollars for my California drivers license renewal. Since these license renewals only come around something like once in 7 years, I'd be willing to pay a much higher fee than that!

I don't see any way around this... we need to pay higher fees and state income taxes, if we want the services. I think this mess points out that most government spending goes to pay people's salaries and provide valuable services, rather than to pay for inefficient, useless, pork-barrel projects and other wasteful, unnecessary forms of gov spending.

When Schwarzeneger was elected, promising to deal with budget deficits by "cleaning house", I think he discovered that there isn't much dirt on the floor!

Just_Lin said...

Good night, HOoters! I'm going to sign off now and watch a little more Letterman before going to bed. Sweet dreams!
