Attempting to install Lord of the Rings Online for the first time on a fairly stock Vista system, and the installer fails while updating some Visual C++ runtime library. When are we going to learn that we should not depend on the latest versions of every single library? Software should simply not require users to upgrade their libraries. (I say...

Moth Monday time again. This next moth is gorgeous and showy but has a really annoying habit of showing up on the shady side of buildings behind fences completely out of reach of my lens/flash combo Unless I set the ISO way too high. :-( Smerinthus cerisyi - One-eyed Sphinx - Hodges#7822 Santiago Oaks Regional Park, 2009-04-11 Silk Moths...

I’ve been visiting Santiago Oaks Regional Park about once a month for over a year now. There’ve been some good life birds there including Rock Wren and Lazuli Bunting, but two regulars have persistently eluded me: Black-chinned Sparrow and Black-chinned Hummingbird. Well, last Sunday April 5 on Linette Lina’s monthly walk we...

A couple of weekends ago (March 21-22), Beth was out of town so I decided to drive farther than normal from my usual O.C. stomping grounds. In particular, I decided to take a spin around the Salton Sea. It’s about 300 miles there, around, and back again, and seemed like a good fit for a weekend. I didn’t get as many life birds as I...

You’d think a pure green moth would be fairly easy to identify, but it turns out there are quite a few of these. Tentatively this has been identified as Dichorda illustraria - Hodges # 7055: Santiago Oaks, 2009-04-05 Friends Central School BugGuide Moth Photographers Group California Moth Specimens Database

Yes, it’s Tuesday; but I was on a plane and then pretty jet lagged yesterday. Anyway, today’s moth is one from my Salton Sea trip two weekends ago. These moths were common on every built up surface in every campground. Best guess is that this is Perizoma custodiata, Hodges# 7328. Mecca Beach Campground, Salton Sea, 2009-03-21 Kudos...

I visited Brooklyn this past weekend. Despite jet lag, rain, and wind, I managed to spend a few hours in Prospect Park and picked up 39 species including 15 year birds: American Coot American Goldfinch White-throated Sparrow White-breasted Nuthatch Song Sparrow Ruddy Duck Rock Pigeon Ring-billed Gull Red-winged Blackbird Red-tailed Hawk...

Many-spotted Angle Moth, Hodges #6395, Digrammia irrorata William R. Mason Regional Park, 2008-03-05 This is one of the geometers. It’s medium sized as moths go, maybe 1.5 centimeters from wingtip to wingtip. It was easily spotted on the door of the restroom building when I walked by about AM in the morning. I last saw one of these at San...
