Spotted this Cooper’s Hawk in the yard. Seems he swooped in trying to grab a squirrel that was in the yard. When I reviewed the pics, I also noticed that it has been banded. I can’t make out all the numbers to look it up, but it was […]
I bought these new globe shaped sunflower seed feeders. The birds, and squirrels absolutely LOVE them. If I keep the covers off, they all go inside the damn things to grab the seeds. Some guys sit inside for quite a while. I have a few hanging close to […]

Bought meself a new gadget … a leaf mulcher. We get a lot of leaves, and I use a LOT of bags, over a few cleanups as fall progresses. This slick mulcher by Worx did a great job, and being able to attach any bag, made it so […]
I usually won’t find Pez git tins like these in the wild. But, I lucked out, there was only 1 Star Wars Mandalorian, and a few Black Panther tins at CVS. I needed to fill the display sets, so broke these open to grab what I needed to […]
They’ve been doing some filming down at PCP recently. For some HBO Series called Full Circle. They’ve built a temporary dock, had a seaplane come in, and doing some more scenes down there. Here’s some IMDB info on the show – “… An investigation into a botched kidnapping […]
PCP did have some good views as well. Bees, Kinglets, trees, and all sorts of critters. Includng Lantern Flies. (actually, the bees are ours. Ro’s wonderful lemon tree is still producing lemons, and nectar)…
As I roamed thru PCP, I caught a faint glimpse of the long thought extinct, Grey Crowned Red Targentina. It has distinct red coloring, with grey striping. And there it was deep inside PCP, right here in The Point, Queens NYC. A lifer for me, and a nice […]
The overnight critters love me suet too. The possums and coons go through all sorts of acrobatics to get to it. I’ve found 2 suet cages, empty on the neighbors’ garage, they ripped from the chain …
A very nice ‘surprise’ 30th birthday party for our Johnny FjL. BmL and her mom did a great job setting things up, and everyone had a great time. And what could be better than singing the traditional rendition of the Leone Happy Birthday song to our favorite FDNY […]
Yes, Virginia, there is a Pez Gingerbread House. And it includes a mystery Christmas Pez Dispenser. Also picked one up for the mini-me pez collector, HjL. This is gonna look good in the Leone Pez Museum …
A few good Kinglet pics from the backyard …
A handful of good pics of the Tufted Titmouse and Nuthatch. With a series of cool pics of the Titmouses sparring over me tasty nuts. They fight with each other all day over those sunflower seeds …
I was sitting in the yard snapping pics of the Tufted Titmouse, and Nuthatches, when this guy stopped in to use the water fountain. Stayed a little while. Splashed around, had a few sips, then flew off. The Common Yellowthroat Warbler, also known as the Yellow Bandit.
Happy Birthday to our Johnny FjL. You have no idea how hard it is for Mom and I to believe you’re 30 years old. We remember the day you were born, like it was yesterday. Well, at least Mom does. What can I say. You’re a wonderful, loving […]

A few scenes from PCP, including the Ruby-crowned Kinglet, a Great Blue Heron, and the Yellow-rumped Warbler …
I found a couple of great locations for the Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and was hunting for the bucket list entry, The Golden-crowned Kinglet. Came around the bend at PCP, and there it was, on the ground in the grass, , and letting me snap away. It is a beatiful […]
The White-breasted Nuthatch has arrived. They are pretty birds …
I count the days passed since you last kissed your mother and told her you loved her. I use this to remind me how VICIOUS you have become ... SHAME
