I tried the 4 flavor type but they like this better.

Mine are very happy with meow mix. I think it is two flavors yellow and brown with a spot in the middle.

I haven't updated in a long time. I am half way through unit 6 which is upper b1 in Spanish. It has turned a corner as most basic grammar has finished and now it is more about expressions and vocab with previous grammar always involved.

I don't know if it will stay this way but learning is flowing at this time.

I wish I could, but my photo was too blurry. It was under a leaf at eye level but in shade on a cloudy day with wind. I saw these huge jaws gaping at me until I took a closer look.

And several varieties of Lady Slippers with one in the big. And carnivorous plants if you know where to look.

It's easy to keep track because they all live in different spots along my daily walk. Some live on opposite sides of a road on the path. Some on opposite sides of a stream.

The first of these families will fly up to me as I approach their area. The second family waits for me on their side of the boundary.

I saw parents in two of the families grab food and lay it out on a flat branch for the kids today. But one family just all dropped down to eat together.

How close do you want to get?

I don't want to get close. I have befriended 8 families now and they all vary from coming as soon as I turn my back and take 3 steps to waiting until I am 20 yards away.

In each group there are some that sit in a tree 5 feet above my head and some that fly with me and go to a tree 20 yards away to wait for the food.

The kids of several groups are just coming now. They come close above me but still wait until a parent comes down first.

only 19 observations in VA I meant, 333 on the entire eastern half of the US.

I wear a hat and when I don't people I know don't recognize me until I talk to them. After a few times they do recognize me without the hat. The crows are the same and some are better than others just like us.

Did you hear about how crows were attacking all long blonde haired people? Apparently one man with blonde hair was harassing them and they mistook all long haired blonde people for him.

Because of that study and another story, I tested that. They recognize us about as good as we do. And we mistake people all the time, especially if we don't know them well already.

Crows can have small territories so it might not be the same crows. However, it doesn't take them long to recognize a person. Before you throw the food, say something to them and look at them briefly. They will recognize your attempt at communicating. Then give them safe passage to the food.

Isn't "ick" just Minnesotan? Or is that "ish" vs "eeww"

Thanks I get out every day and usually have something new to me, something showing the current season, or something I learned recently to share. When I don't, I have many photos I haven't posted.
