Saw the redstart again. This evening we saw the blackpoll again, and an
immature summer tanager. We saw a purple gallinule and eleven baby black
bellied whistling ducks, and some baby blue herons that all look like Don
King in the gum trees behind the pond. More black and white, magnolias,
chestnut sided, bay breasted, and yellowthroats.

We like his work.

We bought a couple bottles of water to take on a bicycle ride. The label
caught my eye. It was Fiji water. On the label it said, “Bottled at the
source”. I’ve always figured all that bottled water comes from some guy
with a garden hose in Utah or New Jersey, but this brings to mind an image
of container ships filled with pallets of bottled water crossing the
Pacific. I know we can’t believe everything we read, but there are some
truth in advertising and labeling rules aren’t there? Does this mean the
guy with the garden hose is actually in Fiji? Is Fiji in New Jersey? Or
Arkansas?

Colin, hard at work on the brickwork. At least he was hard at work until we
stopped to talk with him.
