Wildlife: A Black-faced Spoonbill Returned to Tomigusuku

Migratory Birds Spend the Winter in Okinawa

 

A tip from nature photographer, Shawn Miller, led Doc Graff and I to check it out yesterday.

Down in the Tomigusuku wetlands, we spotted this Spoonbill, probably, the first one to migrate here.

Not much of a politician, I haven't had any luck, contacting the right people to help these birds.

Scientists, would call them Platalea minor.  I just think they're ugly.

And maybe, Tomigusuku folks feel the same way.

Keep throwing garbage in the wetlands.

That way, we can eliminate this endangered species a lot faster.

Once that job is done, what should we do next ?

Maybe, start throwing ugly women in there, too !

Sunday's Silly Sign (Photo)

A Silly Sign Photo a week may be more than I can handle. Sunday comes around a lot faster than I thought it would. As a matter of fact, it's Monday in Japan, already.

Here is a photo taken by my Nephew, Jarod Sampson. He's a college Dude back in the USA somewhere. Virginia, I think.

Anyhow, I gave him a quick class on the PANASONIC DMC-FZ50 one night and turned him loose walking around Kin Village in Okinawa, Japan while I was tending to other things, like my own bar.

It's kinda cool seeing what photos someone else finds to shoot around here. I'd have never thought of taking this shot. I haven't been a college Dude in awhile, either.

I know, a sign like this may offend some women. Hot Beer and Ugly Women, huh ?

Who knows?  It may be good for that other bar's business. I'll have to go check it out sometime.

If it works, maybe, I'll have someone paint a sign on My Place and draw a big crowd to my bar.
I could have a silly sign that says "Cold Beer and  One Hot Grandpa".  Think it'd work ?
