A Cardinalidae Feathursday

The Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks  (Pheucticus ludovicianus) in our neighborhood have just been chattering away this early summer. The call of the Cardinal is quite distinctive, but we often confuse the call of the Rose-breasted Grosbeak with that of the American Robin. Some say the Grosbeak sounds like a Robin that has had better music lessons, but we have a hard time telling them apart. What do you think?

Both are members of the family Cardinalidae. The only other species in that family that lives in our area (that we know of) is the Scarlet Tanager (Piranga olivacea), which also sounds remarkably like a Robin, but hoarser. The images shown here are from a 1930 painting by American nature artist Walter Alois Weber reproduced in Bird Portraits in Color by the American physician and ornithologist Thomas Sadler Roberts and published by the University of Minnesota Press in the 1934. The volume includes 92 color plates by five wildlife artists illustrating 295 North American species. 

The three birds in the upper left of this plate are winter male, female, and male nestling Rose-breasted Grosbeaks; in the upper right are a fully adult breeding male and first-year breeding male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks; at bottom are adult female and male Cardinals.

5/6/2022-Post 2 of 2: Dipper and more at War Memorial Park and a walk by the Sadler’s Mill area of the River Test in Romsey

We came to the park today to look for the Dippers that have been around and have nested with chicks seen. A pretty monumental thing for Hampshire as this species is not common here, and we associate it with holiday destinations and places far away within the country like the West Country, the North, Wales and Scotland where there are rapid rocky rivers we did see one at Cenarth Falls in Wales back in April this year of course. So this was something we really wanted to see.

And I was over the moon that we did see at least one of these birds flying up and down the river running through the park today and some glorious moments seeing one sat on a tree lying in the river which created a strong bit of habitat for the Dippers. It was simply amazing to take in this breathtaking sight of a handsome and captivating bird. We got probably some of our closest and most prolonged views ever of this one of my favourite birds. It was lovely to see its nictitating membrane eyelid which they can close in order to see under water, and also some of the bobbing that gives it its name. This was a breathtaking moment, one of my greatest this year and one of my greatest bird moments ever with what this means for me to see it in my home county. I took the first and ninth pictures in this photoset of this bird. To add to the prestige of this moment there was a brilliant brass band playing on the bandstand in the park whilst we were there. It was so lovely to hear many patriotic songs played so well and was a perfect backdrop to this brilliant birding moment. This created a lovely atmosphere in the park to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee and we got speaking to some great people again. It was great to see lots of people safely enjoying the Dipper too. What an end to the weekend. 

We had a nice walk around Sadler’s Mill, an area near Squabb Wood where we saw some Cattle Egrets in 2018 getting some great views along the River Test and seeing an area we pass when going to Bentley Wood. Here we got some stunning views of fields including buttercup clad and views down the gushing River Test seeing Romsey Abbey from here too. In the park we admired the amazing War Horse statue and some artwork on the building of the toilets. I took the fourth-seventh pictures in this photoset of views here.

There were some other top wildlife seen this afternoon, including some rats in the park one of which I took the third picture in this photoset of, Swift and Sparrowhawk overhead, another male Blackcap or two today and a Robin seen well which I took the second picture in this photoset of.

We saw some excellent flowers this afternoon including oxeye daisy and bird’s-foot trefoil mixed well to create a great colourful display, hollyhock, herb-Robert including some white ones, wood avens, possible water dropwort, cranes’s-bill, other daisies, possible mallow, forget-me-not, poppy and some smashing flowers/plants in the park including possible red hot pokers. I took the eighth and tenth pictures in this photoset of some of the flowers/plants today.

Wildlife Sightings Summary: One of my favourite birds the Dipper, Sparrowhawk, Swift, Swallows seen nicely on a wire, Starlings all lined up on a wire too, House Sparrow, Blackcap, Robin, Blackbird, Mallards including males fighting and young which was great to see, a white duck too perhaps a hybrid, Grey Heron, Cormorant, Brown Rat and I believe I heard Grey Wagtail.

What a packed, thrilling and fun long weekend of bird, butterfly, moth, other insect, dragon and damselfly and mammal watching, photos, walking and socialising for me in the most wonderful national celebration over this long weekend with the weather holding and being really good most of the time I must say. It feels like a pivotal point in my year and had many moments of relaxation too. I am ending the weekend feeling grateful to have had this, and also thinking of those around the world facing very different and difficult days over the past four days, and all key, service and care workers that may have worked this weekend working so hard as always. Thank you for all your interactions this weekend, and I hope you all have a nice week.

Ghosts restore a boy's (Mathew Mackay) hair when it falls out from fright, but then it won't stop growing.

Michael Baskin is an average 11-year-old boy. His father, Billy Baskin, is a struggling artist and temporary sole caregiver of the children while his wife attends to the needs of her recently deceased father in Australia. Upon hearing the news that an abandoned mansion has recently burned down, Michael and his friend Connie decide to explore the remains. Outside the mansion, Connie dares Michael to take a look inside, leading to a frightening encounter with the ghosts of its homeless inhabitants who had died in the fire. Michael does not know this yet, but his fearsome run in with the ghosts has given him a mysterious illness simply known as "The Fright". Michael wakes up the next morning to find out that "The Fright" has made him lose all of his hair. After a failed attempt with a wig (his wig was pulled off by an older boy during a fight in a soccer game), the ghosts visit Michael in his sleep and give him the recipe of a magical formula for hair growth, the main ingredient of which is peanut butter. Michael's first attempt to make the formula is thwarted when his father and sister think he is making something to ingest (rather than use topically) and dispose of it.

A short summary of this movie. It goes on to explain that Michael successfully makes the formula and grows his hair back, but an evil teacher fired from his school discovers his hair growing ability, kidnaps him, uses his hair to make magical paint brushes before he’s finally caught and everyone gets a happy ending. 

.... Gonna be honest. NO idea how this is gonna work in. lol. Will’s bowl cut??? The beginning part there had me thinking about Joyce. The exploring the hunted house with a friend had me thinking of Will and El. But everything else? Pfff. 

The Fisher King

After shock jock Jack Lucas (Jeff Bridges) inadvertently provokes a caller into murdering a group of innocent people in a Manhattan bar, he grows depressed and turns to booze. As he's about to hit rock bottom, Lucas meets a homeless man named Parry (Robin Williams), whose wife was killed by the caller Lucas pushed to the brink. Mentally scarred by his loss, Parry spends his days searching for the Holy Grail. Lucas, feeling culpable for the poor man's plight, pledges to help him in his quest.

Nope, no idea. I really got nothing except.... maybe Kali?????? Ok wait, I read a bit more, mostly the ending bits. The homeless man, Parry, is beat senseless and is in a coma/catatonic state. The hero of the movie must steal a Holy Grail to wake him up, which he does.

Another part, the hero had previously broken up with his lover (out of guilt I guess???) reunites with her. She slaps him and then they kiss and make up. Or something.

Kinda... Hopper and Joyce like I guess. 

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey

Amiable slackers Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) are once again roped into a fantastical adventure when De Nomolos (Joss Ackland), a villain from the future, sends evil robot duplicates of the two lads to terminate and replace them. The robot doubles actually succeed in killing Bill and Ted, but the two are determined to escape the afterlife, challenging the Grim Reaper (William Sadler) to a series of games in order to return to the land of the living.

As much as I love Keanu, this does not make me happy. The only beneficial thing I can think of is two best friends doing stuff together to solve a mystery (Will and El). Maybe Will will get Keanu’s hair

You’ve Got Mail

Struggling boutique bookseller Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) hates Joe Fox (Tom Hanks), the owner of a corporate Foxbooks chain store that just moved in across the street. When they meet online, however, they begin an intense and anonymous Internet romance, oblivious of each other's true identity. Eventually Joe learns that the enchanting woman he's involved with is actually his business rival. He must now struggle to reconcile his real-life dislike for her with the cyber love he's come to feel.

.... What? No idea how this is going to happen.... maybe Joyce gets a mysterious pen pal and it’s secretly Hopper. Or, maybe Joyce will become a librarian/book seller

Ordinary People

Tormented by guilt following the death of his older brother, Buck, in a sailing accident, alienated teenager Conrad Jarrett (Timothy Hutton) attempts suicide. Returning home following an extended stay in a psychiatric hospital, Conrad tries to deal with his mental anguish and also reconnect with his mother, Beth (Mary Tyler Moore), who has grown cold and angry, and his emotionally wounded father, Calvin (Donald Sutherland), with the help of his psychiatrist, Dr. Berger (Judd Hirsch).

Ok THIS IS MORE LIKE IT. YES. I probably haven’t seen the movie, but this summary gets me hyped. Let me check out the plot....

“The Jarretts are an upper-middle-class family in suburban Chicago trying to return to normal life after the accidental death of their older teenage son, Buck, and the attempted suicide of their younger and surviving son, Conrad. “

Chicago huh? Hmmmmmm

“ Conrad, who has recently returned home from a four-month stay in a psychiatric hospital, feels alienated from his friends and family and begins seeing a psychiatrist, Dr. Berger. Berger learns that Conrad was involved in the sailing accident that took the life of Buck, whom everyone idolized. Conrad now deals with post-traumatic stress disorder and survivor's guilt. “

This screams Will to me because of the whole alienation of friends and family (plus Will was going to doctors and psychiatrists for a while). BUT, the survivor's guilt thing could be El too. She told him she could fight (she didn’t know she couldn’t at the time she said that) and let him and Joyce go into the danger all alone. But Joyce would never send off her kids to a psychiatrist or ward. And she might not take them to counselors either, she’s been there done that.

“Mother and son often argue while Calvin tries to referee, generally taking Conrad's side for fear of pushing him over the edge again. Things come to a climax near Christmas, when Conrad becomes furious at Beth for not wanting to take a photo with him, swearing at her in front of his grandparents. “

Ooof, well. This movie does not have a particularly happy ending. Basically, Conrad is struggling with guilt and alienation most of the time. He even starts dating someone but it only helps a little. His mother is basically steely faced and refuses to express emotion. She totally blames her younger child for her older child’s death. She’s confronted by her husband who asks her “If she’s capable of loving anyone” and she leaves the family, only leaving father and son to heal together. 

The Byers don’t have that kind of stuff going on, not exactly. But.... yes. I can see some good material in here. Let’s hope there’s more of this and less of Bill and Ted’s adventures yeah?
