Flip Video Camera Makes Spying on Birds Much Easier
Took my Flip HD camera on a Bogen light stand and a ladder to the bluebird house on the arbor over our driveway, where at least 2 young BBs are being cared for by their parents. By leaving the Flip on a light stand, I could move away and not scare the birds. Got a lot of footage but this segment shows something special: feeding the kiddies by the male, and removing a fecal sac. Many people don't realize that this is how they keep the nests clean. The sac will be dropped some distance from the house location, at one time in and around our swimming pool when some phoebes were nesting nearby.
Love the HD quality of this video and because the camera was fairly close, the sound is good too.I have modified the footage in Quicktime to compress it so the file won't be so large.
Enjoy!

Never Underestimate the Need For A Resume

You never know when someone will want to see it, and not always via email. So I am posting a copy here in PDF, just as requested.

There is a reason for it sense my blog has Google Adsense ads on it. Hey, those $.05 per click thru add up eventually.

Please feel free to read the below with enthusiasm and interest:
