Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Winter birding in southern New Jersey

The migrating male Redwings arrived today. I was looking for a Rusty Blackbird, but didn't see one.


I did not attend this late-January birding trip, but it seems to have been good fun. Never hurts to have experts along. They went to three or 4 spots, including Cape May. Separate lists for each location.


I don't really keep lists anymore, unless I have a specific reason to.

It's even nicer to eat out of the container that you microwaved it in. Rinse and reuse indefinitely.

We're still covered up in redwing blackbirds here in South Texas. I'm surprised to hear some of them are already up there!

Redwing blackbirds always make me think of Cape May, which is the only place I really ever saw them. Grandfather was an avid birder and used to take me to the bird refuge there down by the lighthouse and WW2 bunker (which is worthy of a separate post).

I enjoyed the HBO Real Sports Coverage of the "World Series" of birding. 24 Hours of birding, by teams, covering all of NJ.
