The Backyard Science group regularly features the Daily Bucket. Buckets and the accompanying comments describe the natural mysteries unfolding in our own backyards and favorite places. Swift birds, fluttering moths, creeping spiders sinuous trees and everything else are appropriate topics.
Please provide a comment about your own area, whether it is your backyard or a favorite spot. Include, as close as you are comfortable, your general location. If you post pretty pictures, you could be Thanking the Academy in a few months for Best Stills Submitted to a Progressive Blog.
My backyard feeders were crowded with dozens of birds, grabbing a beakful and respite from the snowy weather. Then abruptly there was only one.
Cooper's Hawk?
Could be a lifetimer for me, plus a chance not to finish last in the annual bird counts. Hide, Doug, hide!!

"Green Diary Rescue" is Back!
After a hiatus of over 1 1/2 years, Meteor Blades has revived his excellent series. As MB explained, this weekly diary is a "round-up with excerpts and links... of the hard work so many Kossacks put into bringing matters of environmental concern to the community... I'll be starting out with some commentary of my own on an issue related to the environment, a word I take in its broadest meaning."
"Green Diary Rescue" will be posted every Saturday at 1:00 pm Pacific Time on the Daily Kos front page. Be sure to recommend and comment in the diary.
