WINNER!! WINNER!! WINNER!!

PatH is the winner. Congratulations! Have you read it?

The subject matter sounds a bit dopey to me, so I probably won't read it -- unless someone recommends it for a good reason!

No, I haven't read it. I like Fowler's stuff, but the subject sounds dopey to me too.

JoanK · « **Reply #7006 on:** November 11, 2014, 03:11:06 PM »

MARJ: thanks for the hummingbird article: I hadn't seen it, and it's fascinating! I'll share it in the Wildlife-Birds discussion on Seniors and Friends. Imagine the delicacy required to put a band on that tiny leg. It gives me shivers.

JoanK, where can I find the Seniors and Friends wildlife-birds?

Happy veterans day!

PatH,do you do other puzzles?

bluebird24 · « **Reply #7010 on:** November 11, 2014, 06:18:50 PM »

Marjifay, thank you! Do you like birds too?

marjifay · « **Reply #7011 on:** November 11, 2014, 06:53:59 PM »

I like birds, Bluebird, but they are not a big interest of mine.

I do find them interesting and sometimes funny. A group of my friends and I were rushing to our cars from a restaurant. A bird swooped down and let go its poop on one of the women we like but consider somewhat of a ding-a-ling. Apparently the bird thought so too.

And the other day I was fascinated to watch a blackbird dig into a trash container and come up with a discarded MacDonald's sack. The bird tore open the sack and devoured the leftovers in it. Blackbirds are so smart.

BLUEBIRD: Here is the link. I's not very active, unfortunately:

Do you love birds, too? I should have known from your name.

MARJ: It's surprising how smart they are, isn't it?

PatH · « **Reply #7013 on:** November 13, 2014, 12:41:18 PM »

Yes, bluebird, I do lots of different kinds of puzzles. I like birds, too. Once JoanK took me to a bird-banding station, and they showed me the hummingbird bands. There were half a dozen of them strung on the shaft of a tiny safety pin.

New quiz, drama:

T?

I am suspecting a Greek drama, though I can't think of one that fits here. The last word looks like Athens.

PatH · « **Reply #7031 on:** November 16, 2014, 06:45:58 AM »

Now what's it look like?

T ___ M ___ N

O F

A T ___ E N S

Letters guessed: A, E, F, L, M, N, R, S, T

Frybabe · « **Reply #7032 on:** November 16, 2014, 07:25:34 AM »

Not ancient Greek tragedy-- Shakespeare.

Timon of Athens?

Maybe not.

PatH · « **Reply #7033 on:** November 16, 2014, 08:27:21 AM »

Maybe yes.

WINNER WINNER WINNER

Athens, but not Greek.
