A Pants Rack Is A Dining Spot For Jays In The Know

BLUE JAY

A blue jay enjoyed a peanut from atop a new perching place in my urban (NYC) garden, a re-purposed bamboo pants rack!

Just a heads up: many antics of the bluejay bird type will be featured in Words In Our Beak, Volume Two, the sequel to Words In Our Beak, Volume One, which is written in the voice of a female cardinal and is available in Apple's iBooks' Store @ https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/words-in-our-beak/id1010889086?mt=11 

As you may know, the goal of the series, Words In Our Beak, is to open readers to a simple understanding of the winged world and their environment. Set in a rooftop urban garden in New York City, the stories are told in the voice of Cam, a female cardinal, who visits it. Words In Our Beak is directed to children and adults who are curious about birds, and want to learn about them from a unique perspective. The book includes hundreds of images of flora and fauna, links to movies, as well as to informative narratives that have been created by the author.

The non-hardcover version (or versions)  of volume one within the Words In Our Beak book series that are mentioned in this entry may only remain available for a limited time, but hardcover versions of volume one, two and three can now be found wherever books are sold.

"Words in Our Beak" UPDATE

It has been a little over six months since my last entry (May 14, 2014) here on Blogger; and in that post, I mentioned I was taking a hiatus from Blogger to work on a book (WORDS IN OUR BEAK), that I'm co-authoring with Cam, a cardinal who visits my urban rooftop garden.

Progress is being made and if you'd like to see the details, please click here.

UPDATE ON TLLG'S CYBER-VENUES

This image is of a sign in a store front on Columbus Avenue in NYC. It was posted in an Indian restaurant that never re-openned and ultimately was taken over by someone else and turned into an expensive wine bar. 

I don't know for sure but I assume that when the sign was posted (September of 2011), the proprietors of the Indian restaurant intended to only be closed for the day, not permanently. But alas things happen. And as I've said in prior posts, and will probably say again (re quoting an anonymous scholar), "if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans." 

As a writer, my take on the quotation has always been, if you want to make your muse laugh, tell him/her your plans, and I must've really had my muse laughing when I laid out my intent for this blog going forward.

For  at this time, I am unable to post regularly on Blogger! My reason for no longer being able to commit to a schedule here on Blogger is because the book (Words In Our Beak) that I am co-authoring with Cam, is about the only writing endeavor my muse will allow, except for posts on TLLG's Facebook Page, which I hope you will follow in my absence from Blogger.

The Consequence of Reporting on Sturnus vulgaris (European starlings)

On Sunday, March 16th 2014, the day before a number of folks were due to celebrate the Saint Patrick's Day holiday, I realized another holiday was taking place. The holiday I am referring to is the 124th anniversary of the arrival of the bird type known as Sturnus vulgaris (European starlings) in New York City, the city where I live and have an urban garden that this bird type is now visiting. It appears they truly enjoy noshing here as evidenced by the photos above.
