Beauty on base of Mercury.



This is the same pic as #1 only auto-corrected the way Joycie showed me in Microsoft Office Picture Manager! Thanks pal!!

Ei,
I created mine using the picnik site on Yahoo....It's fun and easy...you just download a photo from your computer and they have the frames and stickers (like the hats) right there...just drop and drag to the image to the size you want it and where.  Best of all the basic service is free.
 

Thanks for the tip!  I have actually used that tool on flickr, but not for this.  I should have thought of it! 

Ei

I tried that one but it wants a monthly fee to use. Hey FF which site do you go to?

We finally got a picture of Beauty on Mercury!

All is wonderful again!

Thanks MAK, good job

Nope!

Love the Snowy!

We know 

OK, so now we need to mount a tripod in the bed of your pickup and set you up with a motor drive mount on the scope with video feed to a dashboard cam with a joystick to point the scope. Then add a mobile Internet connection for video streaming.

It will be like that African Safari site on wildearth.tv except in it will be in Rochester.

Can you do an Afrikaner accent?

I can picture it now!! Ok, maybe not the elephant.

And we can all meet up at the Highland Park Diner... I'll get in some hay for Elmo...

LOL Bobbie, you do just that!   

And here are a few pics that MAK took yesterday in Buffalo:

Thanks MAK, good job 

No sign of Bobbin since Friday but did find the third bird of prey visitor to the perch yesterday - a male kestrel. Good chance this is the resident male from a church less than half a mile away....Dave

Sounds good to me Shaky. I was just telling the watchers today that we need one of those safari trucks(me driving of course) so everyone can ride around together. Wild Kingdom style!

I can picture it now!! Ok, maybe not the elephant.

Thanks marcoon for posting your Pefa sighting. I never heard of this place but certainly Beauty knows.

A very blurry Beauty on Mercury   

[Gateshead printing firm Chromazone has opted for the peregrine falcon. Earlier this year staff at the digital display imaging company produced a 13.5m (44ft) peregrine falcon in 70 pieces. It was held up at an event by volunteers on Gateshead Quayside to back a petition signed by more than 200,000 people demanding an end to the killing of birds of prey.]

BUSINESSES in the North East are being asked to back a bird.

Durham Bird Club launched the sponsorship scheme yesterday for its Birds of Durham book, which is out next year.

Keith Bowey, of Glead Ecological and Environmental Services
– the project coordinator for the Durham Bird Club – said: "This is an easy and cost-effective way for companies to demonstrate their support for local wildlife.

“It also helps with the production of a book which should provide the last word on the birds of the county for generations to come. “We have already secured some fantastic support from a number of local companies, but we would love to be working with more local firms.�

Bus company Go North East is sponsoring two bird species.

Martin Harris, company commercial director, said: “Many people will be familiar with our award-winning Red Kite service, and it will come as no surprise that this is one of the species that we are sponsoring in the book.

“The other is the kingfisher, in recognition of our Kingfisher route that runs east-west across urban Gateshead, which aims to help local people access both urban and urban-fringe green space.�

Other company choices include:

GlaxoSmithKline – spotted flycatcher. Barnard Castle in Teesdale, where the company is based, is an important area for the bird.

International Paint Ltd – kittiwake. The company has a kittiwake colony on its river frontage at Felling in Gateshead.

Sunderland’s Leengate Welding Services – hen harrier, because it is the managing director’s favourite bird of prey.

North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership – curlew, merlin and meadow pipit. A trio of upland birds which exemplify the wildness and beauty of the area.

The Original Bakehouse at Whickham in Gateshead – long-eared and short-eared owls. The managing director loves owls.

Journal life
Any business
can sponsor a species for as little as £50, and with almost 350 species to choose from, there is plenty of choice.

Keith Bowey said: “If any business has a bird-related element to their brand, name or function, then this is a great demonstration of a company’s environmental credentials.�
