There are certain blogs outside that area which are revolutionizing, so I hope that might bring me back into the circle of friends...<BR/><BR/>Larry, I would not mind being bombarded by a Mocker. See, when I was once camping in Northern Norway, out in the Tundra, there was only one place out there in the open landscape where there was enough cover to go to ... well ... a natural restroom, but on the way there you had to cross a breeding area of 2 pairs of Parasitic Jaegers. I'll say no more...Jochenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852825311605464857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647395313001100441.post-36361071281199587382007-05-27T18:40:00.000+02:002007-05-27T18:40:00.000+02:00Mockingbirds are interesting birds.-I love it when...Mockingbirds are interesting birds.-I love it when they make the mechanical motion with their wings.-<BR/>I was constantly bombarded ny a Mockingbird last year when it decided to nest in my backyard.<BR/><BR/> They don't take kindly to people being near their nest.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955054342034509500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647395313001100441.post-37727863655197415372007-05-27T18:34:00.000+02:002007-05-27T18:34:00.000+02:00Oi Jochen - since when did you get all "north-east...Oi Jochen - since when did you get all "north-eastern US" on us?
