#42 now...let's do this! I placed this right next to Lexie on my toolbar. It's a done deal every day. I always put the important links on my tool bar...forum, Shaky's viewer, Lexie and now this. It helps to remember what I need to do each day.

I was half joking, but the request for everyone to become voting machines and spend an additional hour or more each day voting could seem a bit odd to the casual observer.
I hope by next weekend she's not asking us to spend 8 hours a day voting.
 That's a work day...do we get paid? |

 Catbird meow (sis again) This species is named for its cat-like call. Like many members of the Mimidae (most famously mockingbirds), it also mimics the songs of other birds, as well as those of Hylidae (tree frogs), and even mechanical sounds. Because of its well-developed songbird syrinx, it is able to make two sounds at the same time. The alarm call resembles the quiet calls of a male mallard. |

C is for Cowbirds: My sis took this pic in her yard in 2007  These birds feed on insects, including the large numbers that may be stirred up by cattle. In order for the birds to remain mobile and stay with the herd, they have adapted by laying their eggs in other birds' nests. The cowbird will watch for when its host lays eggs, and when the nest is left unattended, the female will come in and lay its own eggs. The female cowbird may continue to observe the nest after laying her eggs. If the cowbird egg is removed, the female cowbird may destroy the host's eggs, |

Alexandra sits quietly on Kyle Holloway's gloved hand and arm. The female Great Horned Owl was one of two birds that visited Carman Elementary School on Oct. 29. Holloway, the owl, and Oscar the Peregrine Falcon are from the Canadian Peregrine Foundation in Toronto. Carman Elementary was one several visits for the trio. Holloway said the Foundation promotes awareness of raptor-type birds and endangered species. He also said 11-year-old Alexandra and 9-year-old Oscar were raised in capativity and later acquired by the Foundation.The school visiting program, Holloway said, is funded by the TD Bank.

OK...since I think we've spent two days on the letter B (there are a lot of B's), and it's after midnight in the Eastern US, I'll start the letter C! I feel a little like a character on Sesame Street. Anyway... Ohhh were still doing B's Mon and Tues A's Wed and Thurs B's Fri and Sat C's   Sorry...I assumed since we skipped our second day of A's and spent both Tuesday and Wednesday on the B's, we were ready for C's. I'll be good and get back to Aafke's original schedule. It's a tough schedule! Tomorrow C's |
