Nestling Great Horned owl successfully re-nested! Home owner says mom and dad come by often to feed. 85% of all raptors worldwide will not make it to their first birthday. My job is brutal, but moments like this are what we live for. Godspeed lil nugget, you made it! 🦉🦅🪶

Barn Owls are aliens, and the babies sound like cappuccino machines. This branching age baby arrived w 3 siblings, all displaced due to massive demolition for a 1.1 million s/f data center. In addition to generally sucking, this shit makes my job of reuniting them w their parents very difficult. 🪶🦉

Hello, gorgeous! 🪶🦉 #EasternScreechOwl #owls #birds

New education program possum dropped! Her official name is Laundry Room Linda, but we call her Fancy. She’s missing part of her tail and can’t be released, so she’s gonna live a life of soft blankets, balanced meals, and lap time.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to hang out in the middle east while he starts the same war every day. when a missile blasts you into pieces he'll say your last words were "we must build a new ballroom in the white house" before your body is even cold. good luck soldier

How does he do this without swearing?

Squirrel dick alarm

I’m tired y’all

More fun with wet birds! We mist the birds (those who like it) every afternoon when it’s above 90 degrees. Tonka the red-tail hawk looks like a freshly hatched chicken when he drinks the water dripping from his beak. I told him so and we laughed. #hawks #redtailhawk #nature #birds

Just gave Cam her daily misting and waited 10 minutes for this shot. Yes she can fly away, yes barred owls love water, yes a feather flew off bc she’s molting, and yes she loves it. #owls #barredowl #nature #birds 🪶

This is a baby pigeon. I don’t do songbirds and I couldn’t ID it - the beak was throwing me. I texted our partner songbird rehabber and she said if it feels like holding a heavy ball sack it’s a pigeon. It did and it is! 🪶 #birds

Well, that was a fucking ride.

Today an instagram famous frog died in our care after a cat got him. Don’t ever let an influencer’s frog die on your watch. Go get another frog and lie about it.

My job has some perks, some oops, some poops. 🦉🪶

What is a man, you ask? Moose is neutered, yet still undeniably a man. Moocholini the fascist cat, My Muchacho, the Mooch, my Kittyboy. #caturday #HappyCaturday #moose

Timothy Snyder does a perfect job describing American foreign policy in just 53 seconds! This is so spot on, what an embarrassment the "baby in the bulldozer" is. @timothysnyder.bsky.social #Pinks #ProudBlue

WE HAVE 18 OF THESE🪶! They are very hungry, they never ever stop screaming, including when their mouths are full! I just fussed at this kid for yelling in my ear but he’s just waiting for me to leave so he can complain. #RedShoulderHawk #birdsofprey #raptors #Fledglings

When do we collectively stop paying federal taxes?

Mr. Big Foot Fancy Pants would like a word! #redtailhawk #birds #birdsofprey🪶🦅

It’s like an owl nursery around here!🪶🦉 #photogenic #birds #owls

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

Video pretty clearly shows Trump’s unable to stand unaided and fell down after two steps. Nonetheless, you’d still kinda think that a loyal or competent secret service would manage to protect the president instead of the VP, pretty incredible.

He couldn’t get out of his chair by himself so they got Vance out first. Then he fell and had to be helped up. Where’s THAT story?!

So much for that.

The babies just keep coming! 2 more nestling barred owls displaced by high winds. We are getting a good meal in them today then renesting tomorrow. The one on the end stays though 😉🪶🦉

BABY SEASON IS HERE! This nestling barred owl was displaced when the tree containing his nest was chopped down. We will attempt to reunite him w his parents, and if unsuccessful, will place him with a foster parent. Right now he’s got a stuffie for company and a belly full of pinky mice. 🪶🦉

my whole vibe for 2026 so far

But I don’t care about that stuff!

I appreciate any kind of resistance 🪶 #knowyourrights

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

If he’d threaten to murder an entire civilization, you can be pretty sure he raped those kids.

You are a senator.

Fuck him up

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

Have you ever seen a baby gopher tortoise eat a dandelion? This lil nibblet will grow for 10-20 years and will end up weighing around 18 pounds. Gopher tortoises are a keystone species and the state reptile of Georgia. They also moan with pleasure at juicy strawberries, just like me. 🐢

The goal now is just to discipline labor and crush any popular anticapitalist movement. They’ve achieved a level of wealth that makes profit and loss pure abstraction, now they’re just focused on social control. Fighting taxes isn’t about wealth, it’s about starving the state of resources

On his way home!

Got a nestling Great Horned owl yesterday! Gonna fatten him up then drive across the state to re-nest him near his parents tomorrow. We think baby is ~2 weeks old as you can still see the egg tooth at the tip of his beak. Baby season has begun - please hug and/or feed your local rehabbers! 🪶🦅🦉
