Thu. 4/2/09 9:12am From: Parq

Whew! Miss T, play some nice, work-conducive music. I got a lot of ground to make up after spending all yesterday contributing to a record-shattering number of comment posts.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:12am From: annie

mark, they make you work an extra day and you give it to the 1/2 kid that all families have.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:14am From: PMD

Morning all. Hopefully there are no bad lingering feelings from yesterrday... Kind of an April Fool's hangover.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:16am From: annie

i feel that way too pmd, some tension... might be a case of too much togetherness, huh?

The weatherheads tell me the rain is short lived today in jersey. But this is still a nice happy rain song by Bea.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:18am From: annie

for april fool's one year i had a friend call my house to inform us we had won the publisher's clearing house. my son called me immediately with the good news. it was so hard to break the magic of his joy! i think he was angry at me for days after that

Thu. 4/2/09 9:20am From: gumby

someone should compile a list of all known songs involving barbed wire someday.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:22am From: jaypee

Good morning.

I just noticed an odd phenomenon. When I switch my browser screen away from the WFMU page with the blue background to a work-related page with a white one, it's temporarily perceived with a pinkish hue.

Neat.

Trouble.... where did u get those birds?

Thu. 4/2/09 9:42am From: trouble

adrian, i have a mini collection of bird records. i buy them whenever i see them. this mornings selections are from "birds on a may moring" by the massachusetts audubon society, and " a field guide to western birds" from peterson.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:45am From: PMD

I'd like a list of all songs with the sound of a typewriter in them

Thu. 4/2/09 9:45am From: Adrian in London

The sun is out, I've got the day off tomorrow yet mine heart is heavy and dolorous. Why? Cos the stupid place I'm working at has crappy 1992-style web access and I can't stream Ms Trouble. It's the archives again for me.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:46am From: odd duck

trouble - Do you have any records of scary bird noises? Like they sounded in the Hitchcock movie The Birds?

Thu. 4/2/09 9:48am From: gumby

I find it funny that TV soundtracks use the cry of a hawk when they want a desolate and scary feeling. Man, I hear a hawk and I know I am in a good place.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:51am From: dc pät

I'm with you gumby, did you notice you hear it a lot more than you use to? When I was a kid, I NEVER saw hawks but now I see them all the time. wonder why.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:51am From: jaypee

gumby: I was out for a bicycle ride the other day and heard that exact call. In my area, it's apparently a Red-Tailed Hawk. They're awesome and big.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:52am From: Adrien

Thanks for the data Trouble, i love those singing birds, i will try to find that sort of stuff.
By the way, yes my name is Adrian but in french is chic!!
Great show

Thu. 4/2/09 9:54am From: PMD

dc pat, I think it's amazing driving down/up 395 and seeing them hanging out on a lot of the lamps

Thu. 4/2/09 9:55am From: dc pät

precisely what I'm talking about!

Thu. 4/2/09 9:55am From: gumby

dc pat
DDT. When I was a kid in central Jersey, no hawks, no eagles, no turkey vultures. Now they are back after being reintroduced and we should all praise Rachel Carson and her precendent setting book, Silent Spring. She is a true American Hero in my book.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:59am From: gumby

Left out the part that the birds of prey came back after they banned DDT in the 70's. Go figure "THE MAN" did good.

Thu. 4/2/09 9:59am From: dc pät

ok, that makes sense. Dang, for some reason I didn't make the connection. Cheers to Rachel...and the Irish Nat'l soccer team...

Thu. 4/2/09 10:00am From: annie

Thu. 4/2/09 10:07am From: gumby

Just another bird observation, then I'll knock it off. Live birds require dead and dying trees.
One of those things humans knew then lost.
Oh, the unlearnign we must do!

Thu. 4/2/09 10:13am From: gumby

Heh, I'll toss a couple bird observations as well. Pileated Woodpeckers are blowing up here and some say it's because of various invasive insects and climate change killing native trees. Tufted Titmice are also expanding this way 'cause it's getting warmer.. (I'm in West-central Wisco)

Thu. 4/2/09 10:13am From: annie

bird-talk- when you hear a woodpecker, you are probably near a dying tree. they go for the bugs living in the dying organism. i love nature!! it all fits.. and we interfere.. hi cecile..

Thu. 4/2/09 10:13am From: jaypee

Whoops.. that was from me, TO gumby.

Is it too late to deny that I'm a huge nerd when it comes to birds?

Thu. 4/2/09 10:53am From: Ken From Hyde Park

For about five years now, I've been noticing vultures in this area. I guess some folks would consider that an omen of some kind. I think it's cool how the old tombstones have owls on them.

Thu. 4/2/09 10:54am From: gumby

jaypee,
Let the freak flag of your bird brainedness fly! This is the forum for it.

Thu. 4/2/09 10:56am From: annie

one of the most amazing sights around here are the turkey buzzards circling in various areas in our skies. watching them soar and swoop, calmly seeking.....

Thu. 4/2/09 10:57am From: Carmichael

Good morning, Trouble and everyone. This is the 3rd time I've heard Perfidia this week, all of them unintentional.

And to bring my post on-topic, the egrets are out in abundance here in the rice fields.

Thu. 4/2/09 10:58am From: still b/p

On the list of things to finally damn do sometime: learn the songs & ID of most of the birds encountered on woods/mountain trails.

Thu. 4/2/09 10:58am From: PMD

annie, I once saw about 20 of them circling in an updraft so wider than 50 feet or so. It was a like a buzzard tornado and so cool to watch

Thu. 4/2/09 10:58am From: Doug from DC

My favorite bird sighting was a north american great horned owl, spotted after 25 miles of bike riding down the C&O towpath. It's wingspan was well over four feet.

Thu. 4/2/09 10:58am From: GP

Berd Nerd trivia of the day:
Vultures actually have a very clean smell, like they just took a bath..I guess it comes from being around carrion all day...they have to make up for that nastiness.....don't ask me how I know this just accept it and move on!

Thu. 4/2/09 10:59am From: jaypee

I love Turkey Vultures and their cute little bald heads. I inadvertently made one vomit once.

Thu. 4/2/09 11:00am From: gumby

I live in a subdivision surrounded by farms and sometimes 15 or 20 vultures will sit on an east facing roof and warm in the early AM sun. I find it more refreshing than an omen. Besides they are an environmentally freindly way to recycle road kill.

Thu. 4/2/09 11:01am From: stingy d

growing up, there was a flock of 50,000+ crows that swarmed over my house. at the top of the hill was a cemetery. they swallowed up the whole sky on bright days.

Thu. 4/2/09 11:02am From: Doug from DC

Speaking of road kill, I'm starting to see the deer everywhere again. Last night the fog was so thick, I was really worried one would come out of nowhere.

Thu. 4/2/09 11:03am From: stingy d

let's learn about vulture culture. strong stomachs. and no penis. my close friend and roommate got into a lot of trouble for changin an end of year event (purchase college) from culture shock, to vulture cock, without telling anyone. his excuse was that the show was more vulturally cocking than culturally shocking. and he won.

Thu. 4/2/09 11:13am From: Carmichael

We have a long and winding paved bike trail surrounded by wild parkway. Every now and then a mountain lion will wander out and stroll through a subdivision. Bikers & runners haved been occasionally attacked in the past. The animals are usually tranquilized and dumped back deeper in the mountains.

Nature is a cruel mistress.

Thu. 4/2/09 11:18am From: Doug from DC

This discussion and the cherry blossoms out here remind me of a couple of years ago. A family of beavers got washed down the Potomac in heavy rains and started to knaw down the cherry trees. Finally the park service trapped them and took them back upriver.

Also sad how dolts contribute: Years ago, a message/example was posted around Grand Teton about a bear that was headed back after removal, removed due to aggressive food acquisition -- from a pack on a child's back, for instance, and the bear might have to be killed. It had started becoming more bold after a visitor gave it a sandwich because, "it looked hungry." There ain't no IQ test to enter a National Park or to be outdoors at all.

In the Adirondack Mountains of NY State (for those of you out of the area), there is an ongoing problem with black bears coming into the town dumps to feed. In the central Adks years ago, one dump in particular attracted an unusually large number of bears. This became a tourist attraction. Visitors would bring lawn chairs, hang out, approach the bears, pet them, and in one infamous incident (this is real), put a child on a bear’s back to take a picture.

Thu. 4/2/09 11:35am From: roger

Hi Trouble! Great show.
Thanks for talking about the Embankment, Jersey City's answer to NYC's Highline.
Even non JC citizens can have their voices heard about this. The dude who illegally purchased them and is trying to tear them down to make condos is getting a lot of traction. No matter where you live, if you prefer Parks over Condo's please take a minute, go here and help by cutting and pasting a statement and clicking "send".
