Never mind that we lived on a very beautiful pond, the noise just sucked. <BR/><BR/>Lynne- those tamaracks are magical. You better get up to Hasty Brook in the next week or so; by November they'll be gone!<BR/><BR/>Denise- Such a wonderful horde of birds, when they pass through. <BR/><BR/>Mojoman- "Smokey Gold"-- what a great description! <BR/><BR/>Larry- They are a rare treat here, although I've seen them more now that I know what to look for.<BR/><BR/>Jim- I bet your juncos are a different race there...or are they?<BR/><BR/>Elise- funny how some guys just want to cut all the trees! When The Hermit and I moved into our first house, we had a few dead oak snags my grandpa just wanted to get rid of. They were great woodpecker and chickadee habitat.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-60919591887122864652007-10-19T05:34:00.000-05:002007-10-19T05:34:00.000-05:00When we first moved to our house my father-in-law ...When we first moved to our house my father-in-law told us to cut down those two pine trees that were "dying". I had never seen tamaracks before but just had a feeling that they were not dying and it was just normal. Luckily, I listened to my own instincts!Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556270261087981200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-25070823790834956842007-10-18T19:00:00.000-05:002007-10-18T19:00:00.000-05:00That's a nice shot Deb, and we've been seeing Dark...That's a nice shot Deb, and we've been seeing Dark-eyed Juncos here recently too.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01306857757487429447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-13695747718966883192007-10-18T18:12:00.000-05:002007-10-18T18:12:00.000-05:00Ahh nice post!
