ENT SHOPPING FINALLY...
Ive been putting it off, because I dislike shopping. But had to go..and still I was not able to get all I wanted as most stores are not fully stocked...So again tomorrow I will have to go to another store Just couldn't deal with 2 store stops in one day.
So I was able to , stay clear of plastics pretty much, the ones I did end up with are recyclable #1 plastic, the number on the bottom tells you how hard it is to recycle that particular plastic so #1 is the easiest and most prevalently recycled plastic...and on down the line. I even found some corn tortilla chips for snacking in a Paper Bag!! Mission taco chips...Love that I can make some salsa and enjoy a snack. I got some canned peaches and now Im making a peach cobbler...easy bake kind of thing. I needed soy sauce and it was plastic or glass. Since my county no longer recycles glass I got the plastic again #1.
I did end up with one glass container! Maple syrup. They didn't have it in plastic, in Canada you can buy it in can, wish I could find that then I could refill the glass jug.
I wanted some white potato and they had none loose. So I got sweet potato, this time will look for white when I go back either tomorrow or next day.
Today was the last day of the Great Backyard Birdcount I did participate this year...last year I didn't. For some reason ebird mobile app was not working...I reinstalled it, and it wouldn't find my location so I kept messing with it and tapped the explore tab and finally it found me. I did a quick checklist and submitted it and it worked. NOW just hope it will continue to work I have not been able to use it for a long time. Will be glad if it works since my memory is not what it used to be...I could hold 6 lists from 6 locations in my memory at one time, and then put it in when I got home but no more!
So I ended up with 44+1 on my species over the 4 days...and submitted 8 checklists. My +1 was a sharp shinned hawk that the photo I took was not giving me a warm and fuzzy to be confirmed, so I put it as a cooper/sharpie, just so the jerk reviewer wouldn't be involved..
My sis found a fabulous Northern Pygmy Owl on her second day in CO that was sooo cool and a Life bird to boot.
