February, 2007

February was a relatively good (and much warmer) month for backyard birding.  The Yellow-Rumped and Townsend's Warblers were still at the suet feeders every day.  House Finches  became regulars at the tube feeder.  While the RC Kinglets were still MIA, Brown Creepers were seen more often and it now appears that a smaller female and smaller male Flicker were visiting the suet feeder, in addition to the larger female seen previously.  Outside of another possible Merlin sighting and one sighting of two Starlings (they never came back, thank God), it was a relatively uneventful but very busy and enjoyable month.

February was also a very good month for football, as the Indianapolis Colts won Super Bowl XLI, 29-17.  Predictably, Peyton Manning was named MVP and Rex Dumbass fumbled twice and threw two fourth-quarter interceptions.  And if that wasn't good enough, it was disclosed that Tom Terrific's ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his child.  No word yet on how much "California Values" Tom will have to fork over for child support.
