gurdonarkI love the return of the migratory birds in Spring. Last night I walked in Papago park in Phoenix, and marveled at quail hopping among the cactus. I hear birdsong everywhere I go. I'm a bird lover, but not really a birder. I watch all sorts of birds, not always knowing their species names. I just like their intricacy and grace.
I also like to learn about my LJ friends, most of whom I think of as being their LJ names (which makes for pronunciation issues with some of the more intriguing names like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
deriasys). So I thought I'd celebrate birds--and my LJ readers--by coming up with a bird-brained poll in which I can learn more about folks on LJ and their favorite birds.

didn't realize you'd be anywhere near here
do they have LJ meetups in Tejas?
apparently almost 600 cities in the world do
and Phoenix is one of them
hope to go to one soon

Date: 2003-04-25 01:50 pm (UTC)The chimp? That's the one out of the latest version of Planet of the Apes. A stinker of a movie but I did like the chimp. I put you on the friend's list as well. I don't care what kind of car you drive either :D

Date: 2003-04-25 02:35 pm (UTC)I got this pic from a web site using google but that was a while ago so don't have the link. Just plug in 'Planet of the Apes' and a few sites with images will come up. I looked at the NASA site but their chimp photos all look really sad. I'm not kidding, in all the photos they look like they're on 'The Green Mile' or something. Maybe they figured what was to come. I think just use google and there will be some around. Did the Russians use chimps? I thought chimps were only used by the 'States but I could be wrong?
Re:
Date: 2003-04-25 03:05 pm (UTC)those chimps are smarter than we think
and i believe the Russians used dogs
then sent people
i wonder if any pictures of those dogs are wandering around out there?
i guess that should be my resolution of the year
to learn to use google
everyone i know on lj seems to love it

Looking forward to the series, Robert.
