The little Whirly Bird that could?

Geologically, this tiny chopper is so valuable.

Instead of just picking up rocks or drilling holes, we have a complete panoramic view of the horizon and hundreds of square meters of land around every geology sample.

Anyone here remember 1957 TV shows...

It’s really is an outstanding view. Totally new perspective for the rovers and beyond.

Ginny’s been fun to follow. I just figured it be a nice mini-topic to watch for a couple months, and now 2 1/2 years on.. still going strong.

Whirlybirds...

Ha, great timing. Well, off-topic I suppose, but

It’s hummingbird migration season. Our plump summer regulars are on their way, but we have plenty of thirsty travelers passing through.

They’ve sure been fueling up. We’ve got honeysuckle flowers, butterfly bushes, and quite an assortment of the annual flowers that they love.

And of course a couple of feeders, kept clean and refilled.

It’s a veritable oasis out there.
