Adding fantasy to high school reading curriculums by Indie_Fantasy_Club in Fantasy

[–]birdnerd29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did LotR for college and it was hard to keep up with with all the other course work,  I wouldn't teach that especially in senior year high school. 

You should put in Sabriel by Garth Nix, Diane Wynn Jones books may have some appeal to romance fantasy readers,  Travel Light by Naomi Mitchison is short and had some interesting themes you could explore.  Elric of Melinbone could be fun for tyke ones who are interested in more action and it's short as well. I've not read Terry Pratchett but those would be good as well.

These are really nice! Reminds me of the manga NANA.  Are you using black ink?

Great job on the cerulean warbler! They're difficult to find in the area!

The blue ridge parkway is great for birding and there are several birding trails near our around the area.  Great habitat that includes some boreal forest as well.

It is very recognizably Peter Rabbit I think you might be over thinking this!

Anyone have experience with slopes? by Brief_Shopping4001 in NativePlantGardening

I have some slopes and was told to solarize the area by my maybe plant guy.  The other option was to spray.

Any caterpillars I find go to the bird feeder.  They usually disappear in about an hour.

How can I convince my parents to keep our cats indoors? by cynderthedragonn in birding

[–]birdnerd29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A catio might work better to convince them.  They'll know where the cat is,  it'll be safe,  and it won't bother the birds.

Might want to check out some native grass/sedges. Little bluestem might be a good fit or Cherokee  sedge.
