Spring Time: Birds are flying again. They are building their nests

Spring Time: Birds are flying again. They are building their nests

Soon, Spring will be around. And the birds will start flying again. They will come back to build their nests and raise their young. Many of them will return to pre-historic habitats that are now shared by humans. So get ready to have some visitors in your back yard. You will have pigeon, crow, blue jay, starling, cliff swallow, acorn woodpecker, crows, geese and ducks. What can you do to protect yourself and your investments? Well, droppings will be everywhere any way. They will be on your cars, homes, patio equipment and swimming pools.

What can you do to avoid being bothered?

Reduce or eliminate the food, shelter and water sources. Well, it may be easier said than done. Most birds pick your homes as their shelter. You can not eliminate your homes. You can remove standing water. Make sure there it flows away. The more mud there is around, the easier it will be for cliff swallows to build their nests on your home. If you have to remove some nests, make sure you do so before they lay eggs and complete their construction. If eggs are present, you can not destroy the nest. February, March, April and May will see the arrival of the cliff swallows around here. Some birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. If they are protected, you may be limited in what you can do. Go to www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/intrnltr/treatlaw.html

NBA and World Cup Updates: World Cup Drowns NBA Championship or US does not care About Soccer World Cup

Shaquille O'Neal of Miami Heat Tells Kobe Bryant To Talk to the new Ring

What is the Lakers without their strong man? How far can Kobe Bryant's team get in the championship without his former sidekick? Wade, Shaq and his cohorts are rejoicing their new championship under Pat Riley. Shaq is saying that he does not miss LA. Miami is super cool. Miami loves the $multimillion player. Last night, Miami Heat beat the Mavericks to end this season's NBA championship. I know a lot of my friends and co-workers did not have time to watch the game. They were watching World Cup Soccer games. The games between England and Sweeden, games between huge soccer league nations and small soccer ones, games between Germany and Trinidad and Tobago.

What is Brasil up to? Where are the tricks and beautiful game It is Known for?

Brasil has been winning, but that is not enough. We want to see the magic. We want to see them dominate the opposing team to the point of making them hate themselves. We want to see Cafu, Kaka, Adriano, Robinho, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Ze and Fred touch the ball without letting the opposing team touch it. We want to see more of Brasil now that the team enters the second round. We are wondering whether the players were trying to conserve their energy for this round. We do not what is going on. Ronaldo is kind of slow. Before the games, critics were talking about his weight. Does it have anything to do with h is lack of brilliance on the field?

So far, we have observed one thing. Small countries that are participating in the world cup except for a few are already out. They could not advance to the second round. Fans were saying that Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Czech Republic, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Paraguay and Angola would create surprises. Only Ecuador from South America is left standing. So far, they are entering the second round as the team that England, Sweeden, Brasil want to beat quickly to get their 3 points. Teams such as Mexico and the USA did not show any brilliance at all. Portugal which was somewhat despised came on top. After Borgetti got injured, the Mexican team is struggling. It only got its initial 3 points and ended up having a tie with Portugal. Now England and Germany are in good form. Even Australia played better than some of the teams that made it to the second round. On a good day, the Czecks could be Mexico easily. Argentina, Portugal, Germany, Sweeden and Switzerland are playing at the level of world cup soccer.

Will the US make it to the second round this year? How about France? It is one of the major surprises of the 2006 world cup. South Korea is doing very well. Trinidad and Tobago had its chance. One of the African favorites turned out not to be much. Ivory Coast did not live to all the hype. Togo and Tunisia are still in the games. The magic of Brasil has not appeared despite its wins.
