Video of the redpolls

Yesterday like 4 of them decided to smack into the windows at once. One hung UPSIDE DOWN from the tree in shock! Another just sat on the ground in shock..I tried to pick it up (they're so soft and delicate!) but it flew away





Ice pool: In an ice pool, you pay to guess when the ice will go out in the spring. The money from all the guesses goes into a pool. The sponsor sets up a tripod on the ice, and connects it to a clock on shore. When the tripod moves, the clock stops. The guesser closest to the exact time and date wins part of the pool as the prize. The Nenana Ice Pool, which pays out more than $100,000, is the state's oldest and most successful

Yeah Nenana Ice Classic! These are my guesses:
April 28, 12:45 PM
April 30, 11:30 AM
May 2, 12:05 PM
May 3, 6:15 AM

First off - that would be pretty sweet if you won $100,000 haha! Wow...I hope you're right! :P

That redpoll video is like...hypnotic! It's almost like all of the redpolls are on fast forward...they're so fast, active, and non-stop. That's so awesome that you get redpolls at your feeder...that would pretty much never happen here haha. Birds are so fragile and delicate. I remember saving a starling after it flew into a window. I'm glad that it survived.
