Sounds like your birds have a lot in common with Octomom.

Not a lot of sense, there . But, I don’t know if they will keep having babies after the first brood (if the first brood survives the wind).

Those birds are so beautiful and I once saw one sitting on a nest that had fallen out of the unstable twig split it had been built on in the first place. There she sat crying in a area full of feral cats. It adds new meaning to "bird brain". Jamies last blog post..Think Warm Bird brain indeed. I watched a dove let a bully of a blue jay knock all of her eggs to the ground. The dove just sat there crying then, too. Duh.

Opp…. I put the above comment in the wrong post. Sorry.

I listened to the bird call. What a fun site it is. There is lots to be said in this day and age about reinforcing our foundations…our homes… families, spirituality, finances. Back to basic values huh!

Don’t worry about where you comment. I like that bird call site, too. Sometimes it’s the best way to identify a bird around here, we have so many migrating through.

Yes, basic values are the foundation we need to build in these hard times. Maybe we’ll get back to that instead of the conspicuous consumption.

My mom ancestry is from Georgia. I remember my grandmother Ella using the term… “My neck of the woods.” You use a lot of terms in your writing that I take for granted… must be that southern thing spilling over into Texas.

I love the cultural differences of the different areas of the U.S. Each area has its own charm of language, food and customes.

However… I think they are blurring together more… which I hate to see happen. Too much “political correctness” for me.

My people are Texan by way of Georgia, so yes…it probably spilled over. Political correctness is good on many levels…but it can definitely be a hindrance sometimes. Still I’m glad people are more aware of their language these days.
