I found out inadvertantly last week that Blogger apparently limits the amount of “content” you can put in a single post. If you have a lot of pictures to show you have to break them into different posts, as I am doing here with more Atascadero Creek/Goleta Slough bird pictures. As I said, it’s a …

Goleta Pelicans
One of the things I enjoy most about living here is the birding. We go from the beach to 4,000 ft in the mountains in the space of five miles or less. We pack in a lot of habitat types in a small space which results in a large number of species. This is my …
Words to Live By
Moderation in some things!
Lashyn’s Pups!
Seven more pups, six female, arrived yesterday afternoon. Four are red, of which three look to have some brindle; one golden brindle girl a la Lash; and two creams, one a boy! Lash has sisters that are cream with black muzzles, as these look to be. It took a while. Thought we were done after …
Why Are We So Strange?
We three have chattered away for a year on things that strike our fancies (some of them more fanciful than others). Evidently you share these interests, and we’re glad for that. Maybe we’re not so strange after all. When Steve and Reid traded a couple early photos last week, I thought it might be fun …

These ads come to you in the little box to the left (don’t look; we’ve deleted them), which predictably/maddeningly mismatch the ads with our content. For example: We note …

As pups and work permit, there will also be posts forthcoming on micro- shotguns, Jesuit big- game hunters with snakes named after them, …
Gator Mania
Los Angelenos love their ‘gator tales! Reid noted this feature by LA Times writer Carol Williamson on the recent spate (if three be a spate) of fatal attacks on Floridians by the large reptiles. As the only one of us living within the range of the American Alligator [A. mississippiensis], I’ll do the honors. The …
On the Trail
Last Sunday I took Sadie, our Aussie pup, and Maggie, our Lab, for a hike on the Jesusita Trail. The trail starts on the north outskirts of Santa Barbara, and winds its way up northward into the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains in the Los Padres National Forest. The trailhead is at about 500 …
Another unique blog
Check out The Indian Cowboy. He is a libertarian Hindu (that kind of Indian) primatologist from Texas who is studying for his doctorate in psychiatry. He is also a gun nut, and a conservationist. Gun pics and primate behavior and evolution!
