Tulip Festival 2006

http://www.tulipfestival.ca/en/Concerts/

Check out the concerts coming to town for the Tulip Festival!

I will be out on May 12 to see the Novaks and the Trews if anyone wants to join.

As for the rest of the lineup..can’t say I’m overly interested. I think I shall just pick up an evening pass for this Tulip Festival.

I also don’t care how they put all the musical acts during the weekend…ESPECIALLY during the long weekend in May. We all know that’s not a time to hang around inside the city. 😉

My Battle with the Red-Winged Blackbird

More commonly known as the Agelaius phoeniceus (who am I kidding…who uses these words?), this little fellow has been hopping to and from the cars in the park and ride lot for the past few weeks.

At first, I thought “Hey, that’s pretty neat. A bird who actually hops around on the mirrors and hoods of a car. It looks like it’s trying to get its reflection!” This bird doesn’t even bother flying around. Perhaps it is wounded somewhat?

Then when the bus pulled out today and I looked back at my car, I noticed the bird had moved to my car and then I realized this is where all this bird shit is coming from every day on my car.

Red-winged blackbird, you’re going down! I’m thinking of putting some glue on the mirrors.

In other bird news, Mom was saying how she heard some morning doves near my house when she up here…turns out there is a morning dove nest right next to the neighbour’s door. The bird stays there constantly as it is protecting its eggs. Craziness. I live in a zoo!

At least the rabbits seem to have disappeared…
