The Daily Bucket–They've got Equinox birthdays, they've got Solstice Legs.

IMG_1488.JPG

For the fifth year in a row, the tiny native Chorus Frogs have returned with the Winter Solstice moon, to breed in my back yard ponds.  The new generation of frogs were born as egg sacs on the Equinox moon. And now, they are morphing from tadpoles into full-pledged, if tiny,...

The Primary Primer – June 4, 2019

Evil-trump-face-ap-img

This isn’t going to be a daily feature, it’s too early for that, and too jumbled. Rather, it’s going to be more of a weekly or bi-weekly digest of things that happened in the primaries that may have flown under the radar, or you might want to bookmark to look...

The Daily Bucket–The Belly Flopping Heron

IMG_0966.JPG

For over a decade, Great Blue Herons have visited my backyard ponds in NW Oregon.  They’ve eaten some of my goldfish, driven away all of the hated bullfrogs, and provided many viewing hours of their heart pounding beauty as they strut between the grapes and lavender.  My house is in the middle of...

The Daily Bucket–Take-out Orders from the Frog Mitigation Area.

Herons are taking fish and frogs “to go” out of my backyard ponds, for trips to their nearby nests. I watch a heron go after the goldfish in the ponds.  It will eat and swallow the first fish, but will “mouth,” and not swallow their second catch, and immediately fly away with the...

The Daily Bucket–Life Bursts Forth

IMG_4015.JPG

Less than 30 days after the chorus frogs began mating on the Spring Solstice in the Frog Mitigation Area.  Hundreds of tadpoles have already hatched from their egg sacs.   Yet many egg sacs have not yet yielded their bounty.  Every back of the envelope calculation shows I may soon have...

The Daily Bucket–Frog Erotica

IMG_4237.JPG

For many of us, the loud rapid croaking of peeper frogs fills the Spring air.  Varieties of the thumb-sizer peeper, or chorus, or tree frogs  occupy a North American range almost from the Arctic circle to the Equator. However often you’ve heard the peeper frogs, it’s unlikely that you’ve seen...

The Daily Bucket: The Chorus Frogs Mate at the Spring Equinox.

IMG_3643.JPG

The chorus frogs have returned to the Frog Mitigation Area again this Spring. These tiny native frogs first occupied two small ponds in my backyard five years ago. The males usually arrive by ones and twos in late February. but they didn’t show until early March this year.  They set up...

The Daily Bucket–The Snail Whisperer

IMG_3115.JPG

I recently set up a 5 gallon aquarium and germinated lotuses in it from storied seeds.  I purchased two Japanese “trapdoor” snails to eat the aquarium’s algae.  They just had a half-dozen live young, so I am sort of a grandfather of snails. This covey of snails swiftly ate all of...

The Daily Bucket–Flooded!!

IMG_3205.JPG

This week of dire weather forecasts for the Pacific Northwest saw a year’s worth of snow fall on Seattle in a few remarkable days. Yet the lower elevations of Washington County, west of Portland, Oregon remained chilly, but stubbornly snow-free.  Gaia took notice, and dumped hours of hard rain on NW...

The Daily Bucket–There's a thousand stories in Frog Court.

IMG_2152.JPG

The ”Frog Court” originated as result of a sealed court settlement over an unfortunate incident regarding Nixon EPA Administrator Anne Gorsche, prescription drugs, a government limo, and a lost weekend in the early 1970s. The quiet settlement established the Frog Environmental Regulatory Commission, or FERC.  FERC’s mandate is the protection...

UPDATE: CNN reports that the big four networks are deliberating whether to give Trump the prime-time slot, but that CNN and Fox News have already agreed to air the speech. *** The major networks balked at first, but they’ve finally agreed to let Donald Trump spew his hate-filled lies across our nation like...

The Daily Bucket–Frog Court investigates Koch Bros./Bullfrog Voter Fraud Collusion

P1070220.JPG

The two brothers looked out from their penthouse at their priceless view of Manhattan, but both watched the clock turn over to 7:15:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time. The afternoon shadows swept in that September afternoon and the sky darkened. “It’s time,” said one brother.  They put on coats and got...
