night owl

I have discovered Twitter recently. It is really cool how you can communicate with the world these days. All evening I have been refreshing my twitter page to see who is tweeting. It was Ellen Degenerous that appeared on Leno that mentioned that she tweets and to join.. so I did...

Blog blog blog...

I am getting sleepy and should really get to sleep...all week I have been up later then I should and have noticed a few yawns here and there while at work. Gotta change that for sure. I AM a night owl....

pondering where that phrase came from..... pausing to google .......

Here is what I found from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :
Night owl is a term used to describe a person who tends to stay up until late at night.

Owls, like this one in Poland, are often nocturnal.
The term is derived from the primarily nocturnal habits of the owl. Usually, people who are night owls keep awake past midnight and extreme night owls may stay awake until 5:00 AM or later.

I guess that would make me a night owl for sure but not an extreme one. :0)

A couple of weeks ago we had a freezing rain storm and ice built up on an apple tree in our front yard. Using the Canon 30D with the 100x400 mm lens I decided to take some pics through our front window. This is one of the shots I got. I am told that the bird is called a Hoary Redpoll .



This photo was shown at our local photoclub and had good reviews... and one nice comment by a member that is a birder as well.

Guess it is that time to finally go to bed..... 2AM :0)

Nite nite !
