Patient readers, I had to make an important call in the midst of my normal Water Cooler writing time, so there is nothing here but bird songs and art (not a bad sort of nothing, actually). More soon! Talk amongst yourselves until then. –lambert
Bird Song of the Day
Gray Catbird, Bramble Hill, Highland, Virginia, United States. “In thick underbrush near the house at the start of the upper trail.”
Contact information for plants: Readers, feel free to contact me at lambert [UNDERSCORE] strether [DOT] corrente [AT] yahoo [DOT] com, to (a) find out how to send me a check if you are allergic to PayPal and (b) to find out how to send me images of plants. Vegetables are fine! Fungi, lichen, and coral are deemed to be honorary plants! If you want your handle to appear as a credit, please place it at the start of your mail in parentheses: (thus). Otherwise, I will anonymize by using your initials. See the previous Water Cooler (with plant) here. Fro TH:
