We've been getting a lot of birds to the feeders this winter. This little guy is waiting his turn. Any bird types out there know the exact name to this little fella?

Wrong...it's a cross between a Chickadee and a Blue Jay...it's a Blue Chickadee.
That's reminds me of a new fish cross-breeding program the MNR started. They wanted to create a hybrid game fish which presents the great eating experience of a Walleye but they wanted it to be very hearty and provide larger fillets, like a Coho salmon. They have successfully crossed these two great fish and have called it a KoWal. They also decided that they wanted this fish to be a really exciting fish to catch and for it to present an amazing fight experience when it is caught. So, they then crossed it with a Muskey and have finally come up with this new hybrid game fish called a KohWalSki. Now, all they have to do is teach it to swim.

The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

hehe...see you in a few weeks..

Let me see if I have this straight....someone built a Polish fish that can't swim and somehow Monty Python is to blame.
