That's a pretty bird!
We have this tall wild cherry tree behind the cottage that had a branch break off from a hurricane a long time ago. Through the years, birds have pecked away at the part of the branch that was left and has been nesting in it off and on for years now.
We learned about Great Crested Flycatchers after seeing them nesting in it over and over. There is another pair in it this year.

They are RARE birds to see. They don't come down from the tree canopies if they can help it. So they don't come to feeders or feed on the ground. They just feed on bugs and things up high in the trees. Ours have that distinct referee's whistle sound for their chirping. It sounds just like a referee's whistle! Very RARE. But if you hear a referee whistle up high in a tree, take a look for that distinct crest on top of their heads. And that yellowish belly.
We also have the privilege of having migrating Cedar Waxwings stopping once or twice a year. They stay up in trees also but they do come down a bit to feed on Mulberries. That's a short bushy tree with thousands of big berries in the summer. They like to flock from tree to tree for some reaso. here is a bunch that decided to come down into our Silver Maple tree one year. With the berries, they will pass a berrie back and forth between themselves. FUNNY to watch!
Cedar Waxwings whistle too. But their chirps are med. length one tone whistles. But when a group are all whistling, you can't help but hear it it's so loud! They fly in groups only. Some med. like 100 or bigger, like 200. We love the avian visitors around here.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Actually i was mistaking. This was the left overs of what was comming back into the US after the rave cruise. We had a LOT more on the day they boarded. 27 arrests iirc. 3 went federal.
Oh my...you CBP?
Yes, so you are Canadian i take it? Bassically a US Cit... lol. Not to many people know what CBP is.
LOL I can drive right down a road in Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford BC called 0 Avenue. If your heading say westbound...the stuff on the other side of the ditch to your left is American soil. I can see some CBP vehicles on the other side once in a while, Granted they probably have an easier job up here than they do on the southern border. In the following photo you can see the flags, each is in it's correct country. This is the Smugglers Inn in Blaine Washington, the photo was taken from Surrey British Columbia. The small boulders denote the 49th parallel.
So why don't you order US gear and have it delivered to the Inn for pickup

Cameras and sensors monitored by both the CBSA (Canadian Border and Security Agency) and the 'Murican CPB. You walk across there and your in trouble no matter what direction your headed. At one point not long ago (few years actually) people would get a room there then at night, walk into Canada thinking they were undetected...NOT! There is a offical border crossing less than 2Km to the west of that place. That said, I don't have a passport and have zero interest in entering the United States until a few things change down there.
For sure you dont want a "ewi" (entered without inspection) on your record. It will cause you years of crief when crossing any US border. -
Woke up to this! I think she knew i was not feeling so well. We love our dogs! Spoiled rotten
Anyone else have a Malingator? -
I bought a pressure washer spinning head basket from Lowes AFTER a lot of research.
Best 100.00 I ever spent to ease our laboring pains cleaning our driveway. It usually takes about 10 hours over two days time. Multiple tanks of gas too.
Today, 3 1/2 hours and I almost did it all! 2 tanks of gas and I just filled the third and used it for 15 min. Probably 3/4 of a tank left. Incredible. Hardly any effort to push, pull or go side to side. It just about floats around where you want it to go.
You can read the reviews here if you're in need of a pressure washing tool for your driveways and side walks. I'm glad I bought a 2'extention wand( I think it is) thinking I'd want a longer rod.

But my nozzle wouldn't come off the the original pole so I could ad it. BUT, it worked out great anyway. I just switched back and forth between the spray wand and nozzle to the spinner basket and new wand. You have to sray off the drive AFTER using the spinner but it was SOOO easy to switch! I actually had FUN!

The basket lifted up once and I've got to say, those warning all over the top of the basket are for real!
I don't think it will cut material but if those nozzles get up to your socks or legs..
..emergency room will be needed quickly. Seriously
I was impressed at its efficiency. But it doesn't leave a clean path behind it. It leaves a clean surface with the loosened dirt and whatever back onto the surface. But you can tell where you've washed pretty easily!

I tried to teach my step-daughter EVERTHING about a car when she got her "learners permit". I spent a lot of time on backing up skills. Maybe too much because she ALWAYS backs into parking spaces. 20 years she's been doing that! Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
