The Return of the Killdeer


It is now the month of march and the wildlife is flourishing to life. The rains have come to renew the traditional storms among us. They are here to claim back which is rightfully theirs. Animals are back from the southern states and countries and back to reform the land into what i like to say a wonderland. It has been a barren land in the past months but spring is here to re shape the land into one which is green and living. New life will flourish among us and spring will take order to the once barren snowy land. Nevertheless i did like to visit the winter wildlife and cool off from the summer but i have to say spring will have to be the best, melting the snow to begin another year of warmth and solitude. I really wish i would live in Florida where it is nice and warm.


Since it is Spring i went to visit the park to see how the snow was melting, and it was melted alright. It was wet like a swamp and muddy too. I didn't really care and trudged through it. After about 20 minutes i caught a glimpse of a brown figure in the yellow dormant grass. I didn't know what it was until it took to the skies and screeched Killdee...Killdee and i knew the killdeer have returned. I tracked them for about an hour and a half and found that they fly other places for food. When they weren't there i was finding where they might make their nest. I looked everywhere and looked back to the spot where they made it last year and found a dug-out hole with small rocks layed at the bottom. This is where they would nest until the end of summer.

Spring




It's close to spring now and i have noticed alot of animal activity going on. From cheaping birds to howling coyotes the suburb sprang to life. I really can't wait until its truely spring. With all these cold temperatures and snow beyond belief i just want to go to florida. But it does bring one thing and that is the winter wildlife. This morning i heard a calling Blue Jay and last week the calling of the killdeer so i believe they will be arriving shortly. Also the toads will come out to breed in the ponds at meadows park.

Force of the 4 Elements




I have been working on a book for some time now. One day i just picked up a pencil, thought of some ideas and here i am now with 70 pages so far. This story is about 4 clans: WindClan, Earth Pack, WaterClan and FireClan. In each of these clans there is a species of animal Windclan= birds of prey, Earthpack= Wild dogs, Waterclan= Bears and Fireclan=Wild Cats. These 4 different animal species compete for territory, food and the right to mate. Each Clan had a leader followed by a deputy and a medic. The others are the guardians and smiths. These animals are trained for the unexpected from a battle to a war. Needless to say each Clan has different rules but there is one that all must obey and that is when they all meet under a full moon to congratulate each other and ask how each are doing. All of them must not fight and get along for 2 nights until going back to the all out battle between them. This book is a violent but action packed novel that goes against anything imaginable in the world around us. My book is packed with amazing details also including simile/metaphors. If you like books that have action this might be a book for you. But wait there is more. Not only is it full of action but it has some science fiction and educational parts but it is not all like that. I mixed fiction and non-fiction into it so it could be real but you would have to be an idiot to do it and be an animal which of course is not possible. But anyway this book is especially good for people that like the book Warriors, Guardians of Ga'Hoole and Good Dog.

Winter Warms


Now it is the month of march and the temperature is increasing to the 40's. Snow is finally melting and it all seemed like a century since it was spring but here we are in the month of march thanking for the warmth we received already. Well i came to write about Global Warming. Does it exist? Can we stop it if it is in affect? Is it life threatening? These are questions to consider. One thing i know is that scientists have told us that they have been making up fake data to support Global Warming. Now i do agree it has some affect like pollution but really the earth just goes through cycles. Like during the Ice age, there wasn't any factories or industry to cause it, it's just the way everything works. Like now it is warmer. Now you can see that the earth goes from cool to warm then back to cool. Now i don't have 100 percent back-up to it but this seems real. Global warming to some means nothing , to others its future...
