The Jack Whistle: January 2016
http://harbortug.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 2, 2016. To kick this off, let's fire-up the wayback machine. The year is 1974. The setting: a tidy, green-and-white mobile home separated from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway by a stand of windswept oaks, a quiet two-lane blacktop and a broad expanse of mudflats and spartina marsh. Inside, a towheaded, freckle-faced boy hunches over a record player, a book in his hands. The scratchy LP and the book bear the same title, and the boy follows along as the record plays Little Toot. If you'd ...

Abilene Trail Chronicles: November 2007
http://austinwildlife.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 20, 2007. Patrick really wants to believe it was an accident. The evidence says it was not. There's the blood splatter: a dark stain on weathered wood, and oak leaves speckled with red. There are the feathers: primary and secondary flight feathers and the sort of small, downy feathers found close to a plump breast. There are the signs of a struggle: scuffed and gouged leaf litter, near the scene of the crime (Patrick's playhouse). Means: Dispatching a dove requires a certain quickness, ...

Abilene Trail Chronicles: March 2008
http://austinwildlife.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 24, 2008. So, before I took a weeklong. Sabbatical from the office to work on my captain's license, I get an e-mail out of the blue (the color of my email background page) from Simon Busch of the Financial Times. It's sort of like . The Wall Street Journal of Europe. Maybe bigger. Simon writes a column for that paper called " Outside Space. And he'd been reading this blog and wanted to conduct a phone interview for an upcoming article on wildscaping. I assured him we've. Posted by Aaron Reed.

Abilene Trail Chronicles: More cool birds
http://austinwildlife.blogspot.com/2007/10/more-cool-birds.html
Wednesday, October 24, 2007. I must be getting old. My brother reminded me this past weekend that I'd given him a hard time last year about sitting out back of his new house, drinking coffee and watching the birds. You're getting to be just like Dad," I said. Seems like we're both getting to be just like Dad. Pineywoods humor, I guess. A recent repeat visitor to the yard is a single golden-fronted woodpecker. It's quickly become my favorite, with its bright orange nape patch and finely detailed black...

Abilene Trail Chronicles: August 2008
http://austinwildlife.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 16, 2008. About six weeks ago my brother John bestowed upon us a rescued animal, a checkered garter snake (. My son Patrick promptly dubbed "Mr. Bubbles." John, in the course of his duties as a police officer, had plucked it from a terrified housewife's porch. The snake readily gobbled goldfish (the $ .12 kind, bred to be fed), was nice to look at and seemed to be doing just fine in a cage in the garage. When he dropped her off weeks ago, John mentioned the snake might be gravid, thought...

Abilene Trail Chronicles: Oh no! Not another moth to feed!
http://austinwildlife.blogspot.com/2008/09/oh-no-not-another-moth-to-feed.html
Monday, September 8, 2008. Not another moth to feed! This beauty showed-up last night just before midnight. According to Audubon, it's an Imperial moth. Eacles imperialis), a pretty common member of the giant silkmoth family. It's about the same size as the Vine sphynx moth. I wrote about earlier. Some adult moths, such as sphynx moths, drink nectar. This one, in its adult stage, has only vestigal mouth parts and no digestive tract. They're considered common below the Mason-Dixon line. If A Tree Falls.
