Where I live (NH) the Ruby Throated bird is the only species. It is a seasonal migration. They usually arrive in early May and depart mid-September. We can't put out seed & suet feeders until 12/1 as bears are still active and will destroy any feeders that they find.

I have to admit that I had to look up Oca on Google. Never heard of it before. Based on the description, I would have like to try it, but the listed climate zones of 7-9 do not match my 4-5 so I will look for some in a nearby "world" food store

I don't know what your local regs are about fishing post sunset, but the pic looks to me that it was ok to fish as the OP was clearly in civil twilight as opposed to astronomical twilight (aka night) Civil twilight is the period of time for which the geometric center of the Sun is between the...

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/10/business/orvis-vermont-sporting-retailer-closing-stores/ In my estimation, Orvis, LL Bean, and other "sports stores" have become retailers that focus on selling clothing, footwear, and lifestyle accessories. They are no longer mainly sports and sport...

I wanted to be a veterinarian. I got wait listed 2x, but never got in. I took a job with a Federal Law Enforcement Agency as a Forensic Chemist doing Arson and Explosive analysis. After 3 years I got bored working in the lab and transitioned out to become an agent. I spent 28 years on the...

I use all those free return address labels that charities send to ID my fly boxes.

When the person sitting next to you at the bar points to the mount on the wall and asks if there is a hunting season for Jackalopes

This past year was great for Tomatoes in NH. Hot & dry (not good for utility bill) Yellow/Green/Red is Mountain Spirit. It is a new variety for me and is supposed to be blight resistant. I can't comment on that as the dry weather curtailed bad blight attack on all planted varieties. I did...

Walleye-Not the most "fun" to catch (like hauling a potato sack), but if there is a better tasting freshwater fish I have not had it

The picture is from a NY Times article on an upcoming natural gas shortage (it you can believe it) in Anchorage. The article included this photo of people "fishing" in Kenai River. I cannot figure out what these people are doing. Netting salmon from the shore? I never saw anyone doing...
