Critters
A Pod of Dolphins in the Pacific
We keep in touch with a friend in California via the internet. “DrJim” is a scientist who occasionally goes to sea on a vessel whose purpose is to launch geosynchronous satellites from the equator. Jim sent us this photo of a pod of dolphins somewhere between Los Angeles and 154° west longitude at the equator. The helicopter pilots were up on a photographic mission when they spotted the dolphins. Click on the image to enlarge.
The Birdman of Wickenburg
One of our most enjoyable toils in retirement is to keep the bird feeders full to attract the little critters. Verna gets some pretty good images of the little feathered visitors to the feeders. Verna took this photo of me filling the feeders today. The red bottle to my left contains anti-squirrel spray to ensure that the furry little thieves keep away from the treats for the birds.
