Fangirlin' It

So, Mom and I went birding yesterday and today by ourselves; Dad was in the mountains on a birding trip, but Mom and I couldn't go.  Turns out we had better birds than they did!  Today we saw a rare bird for the area, a Wilson's Warbler.  And there were two male Yellow Warblers together at one stop.  I joke that they look like bloody egg yolks; they're egg yolk yellow with these bright rusty streaks on the front.  Warblers are hard to see because they're small and dart all over the place catching insects.  They're beautiful during spring migration because they're in bright breeding plumage, whereas when they come back through in fall they're losing their colours.  We birded for over four hours, and since the weather was nice, it was a lot of fun. 

We took Mom out for dinner to Chinese, which was excellent as usual.  Hope all the mothers out there had good Mother's Days, too.

Well, this comes a bit late, but here I am, home for the summer. So far, so good on the parental front, though one never knows when that might change. So, things I need to do:

( Listy things )

In other cool news, we finished the rest of Tombs of the Cybermen, and my dad liked it! He liked it enough to want to watch more with me. I love sucking my parents into my fandoms; I did that with The West Wing too. Then we watched the first episode of The Dinosaurs, which I also have on DVD, because all of us remember it from TV, and how hilarious it was. Good times.
