Corvairs. Bah! I had a 1960 introductory-model Corvair 58 years ago. It was fun to drive after I put 200 pounds of weight plates in the front trunk, but overall an incredible POS. My favorite memory is the furnace, a gasoline-fueled heater in the passenger footwell. It put out amazing heat...

While we are birding Arizona can anyone offer an identification of this hummer? I took the photo at Superior, Az, on a 22 degree March morning during a historic cold snap in 2013. Merlin says Anna's, but given the combination of red cap and green gorget….I question that. I've seen lots of...

I took a shot at making my first pizza the other night, but I think I cheated. I sort of built it from a kit. I bought a Winco crust, and little clear plastic coffins of sauce, Italian sausage nuggets, cheese blend, pepperoni, and crumbled bacon. (Not Canadian bacon, just regular breakfast...

Red—tailed Hawk. Ornithologists recognize 14 sub-species and 3 color morphs. Whichever of those this bird is, I'm pretty sure it's depressed.

I fly fish because doing so brings me pleasure.

Anna's Hummingbird, female.

The Columbia River Basalts covered an area of about 63,000 square miles of the Pacific NW between about 17 to 6-ish million years ago. The multiple floods of lava accumulated to a depth of up to 5900 feet. One outpouring, the Ginko Flow, originated north of Pasco and flowed 310 miles to...
