A pine warbler perches in profile facing right on the peak of a clear plastic roof atop a blue bird feeder. The bird is partly reflected in the roof, which has raindrops on it.

When you think about how the media covered Biden’s mental acuity and then see this, you really see how horrible things are and have been and will continue to be.

This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.

Not my best work, but I have few #warblers in my library. These also qualify as #RareEncounters — a black and white warbler and a palm warbler from a visit to the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Naples FL a few years back. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #nature #birdphotography #audubon #ECK 🪶

Photograph of a blackish Oystercatcher - this species of oystercatcher is all black / very dark brown except for pink legs, a bright red beak, yellow eye and red eye-ring. This bird, towards the left of the photo, is standing on some rocks at the top of a beach where the tideline meets the vegetation, hidden amongst the rocks on the right and beautifully camouflaged are 2 sleeping, small, fluffy grey chicks

Most prescient, clear/eyed work of writing I’ve read on reorg.

Read it.

Then act.

“Call your senators. Call your representative. Not next week or later. Now.

Tell them this is not a reorganization — it’s the destruction of a federal agency by executive fiat and that Congress must intervene.”

The #feathers of an adult, but non-breeding, red-winged blackbird are not at all like their older counterparts. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #blackbirds #nature #backyardbirds #birdphotography #ECK 🪶
