Birds and a poll

I've got some more bird pics for you today. Aren't you so lucky?

But first! I have a poll going. See, just have a squizz over to your left and you'll see it just under the koala pic. You can mark as many as you want, no worries. I'm giving y'all 21 days (that's 3 weeks or 5.75% of a year) to vote. I figure this way it'll give all my new readers (Hi new readers! *waving*) time to go through a few archives.

Does this mean that any category on the poll that doesn't get any votes will be gone from this here blog? Hell, no! I just kinda wanna get an idea of what everyone likes to see.

I won't go into any data analysis, no standard deviation (I'm NOT a standard deviant!), no bell curves, none of that crap that I learned in a couple of stats classes back at ole UAF. Why not? Well, frankly (and johnly) I've forgotten it! So I'd need to go online and do a bit a research about statistical analysis... Ummmmm, you all have noticed the "lazy" is one of my labels? Ahem, 'nuff said, eh?

Alright, here's your bird pics.

Anyone remember Sesame Street? I used to watch it when I was little. Remember when you had to pick something out that was different from the rest? There was even a little jingle that went with it! I guess it musta had something to do with pattern matching or something like that. This pic reminded me of that.

Go on! Try to guess which one is different!

Was that one too hard for you? Sheesh, c'mon 4 year olds play this game! Here, I'll give you an easier one and perhaps you can work up to the 4 year old level later:

Careful now, don't strain your brain thinking!


I'll have you know this: No airbrushing or other enhancements were done to this shot:




The birdses actually DO hang out in trees, not just my feeder and brick wall. Here's proof:




'Ave a rippin' arvo, mate!

"One of these things is not like the oooooother....one of these things just doesn't belong."

Wow, that came right to me.

Guess what I will have in my head for the rest of the night?

Let me know if that link works..

"Can you guess before I finish this song..."

Alaskan Dave Down Under said...

The idea was to put that song in the heads of everyone for a day or two! Sneaky, eh?

I'm trying the link now... Oh, while it's loading I promise I'll get your blog on my list soon!

Smile... the link works, no worries. However: *ahem* one of the ones I remember was cookie monster eating all of them in the middle of the song so that your guess was wrong!

Guess that's just too negative for todays teaching... sure was funny though :)

9:46 am here, Thursday morning, and guess what is still in my head?? Man I was a hardcore Sesame Street fan.

I could have give you the link for the black and white, 1955 version, of Mr. Hooper singing it in his store. You remember that one too?

Alaskan Dave Down Under said...

Nope, that one was before my time :)

Ummmm, I've still got it in my head too...

I really liked Oscar, good character! Heck, I still watch the various muppet movies.

Wish we could start attracting those birds to our yard but my hubs would be too worried about them pooping on his car:/

Suzer: would you believe me if I said I had to wear hip waders to grab some firewood from the shed?
