The story of Buck Johnson is well known among Curlew historians. This weekend Buck came over on his usual 4th of July holiday, from Montana where he takes care of the Johnson Estate and Ranchero. His visit was accented by accompanying friends from his tight circle, including pictured below speaking with the DotOrg producer Jane is, Alex on left (*Well known Spokane Indie Recording Artist and Band Member), Bill S (CHS2000) of Zak Industries, Jane, Crystal (*Owner of said cool Corvette car and impresario of something which I forget, maybe Ephrata:->).. All of them hearing that Cindi McCain will be selling Annhesier Busch, they have now switched to low calorie Busch Light in preparation for a few mosh outings and perhaps a round or two of golf)...Buck candidly requested the images posted in order to say hello to all those "Cur's" out there who follow the treks of Mountain Wind Family and DotOrg..

Here is news of the "Other Madonna..."


It's in Kathy's Nature
by Kathy Meader DotOrg Photojournalist

Is this bird identified correctly? I've never seen one before, and as luck would have it, he was in the shade, but also, the sun was shining brightly right beside him. An unusual combination to work with!

This bird seemed rather friendly. We were eating lunch outdoors when he showed up on a tree several feet away. He watched us, then walked up the tree much like a nuthatch - but I couldn't find this combination in my guide book. Am I correct in my understanding that chickadees share that trait with the nuthatch? I know, I know, I'm asking a lot of questions, but what better way to learn? Most of you are far more aware of birds, their habitats, and their habits than I am; that's excellent for me because unlike the universities, I get to learn here free of charge! :)

This bird did do something I have never seen before, he seemed to want to play peek-a-boo with us. Once noticed, he'd hide behind a branch, but if ignored, he'd come out again. Twice he came out, interested in my camera, but when I picked it up and aimed, he'd duck under the branch so quick, that twice I missed the action. If a bird was ever a ham, this fellow qualifies. When we left, I think he pouted, but then, that could be my perception.
