Maganrord is going to be on the radio...

So last Tuesday, this great public radio reporter Molly Samuel came out to the island to interview Logan, Danielle, and me about Maganrord. We had a great 3-4 hours showing her around the island, talking about birding and the blog and our jobs and all sorts of other stuff. She's currently in the process of putting it all together to make a radio story that should air on public radio in SF sometime within the next few weeks. I'll keep you updated once I know more about that.

During the interview we actually saw the juvenile raven for the first time, saw the raven parents predating eggs from the black crowned night heron colony, and saw some very small juvenile black crowned night herons (also a first for us). Logan put together a great post over at Maganrord about a few of those things, so check that out.

Look what I just got for Mother's Day!

Yep.

Totally apropos song of the day:

Birthday, &c

So I turned 29 on Thursday. Strange to have had the last birthday of my twenties. But we had a party at bingo, and I got to call bingo, and it was super fun and awesome. Check this shit:

Yay. Check the rest of the pictures here.

In other news the Bay Area is proving to be entirely too small for my dating ideals. Hilariously enough, Chris and I found out that he's seeing a girl who is seeing a guy that I've been seeing. Kinda sucks, too many complications, so I had to end things with the guy, since I have the least amount of feelings involved and I guess am just better at shit like this. So it goes.

Now I've gotta go find that spark to make this thing explode. It's time.
