No thanks

Man this fungus at the base of my red oak is wild … it’s glossy

JD Vance: … people hang out those hideous signs in their yard that say, "in this house we believe blah blah blah blah blah. You know, love is love, science is science, whatever. No person is illegal." That sign is such a disgusting butchering of the Chipotle mission statement.

In love with tonight’s Strawberry moon!

be a man, die in a national park

Most of the warblers are gone, but the universe found a way to make me happy anyway: Yellow-billed cuckoo in northeast Indiana.

Came across the awesome scene along a rural road. There was about a dozen turkey vultures waiting their turn.

@nbcnews.com where is the coverage about what’s happening in Tennessee? This is the 2nd night in a row. A move that affects approx. 620,000 in Memphis…maybe you could scootch your breathless coverage of the cruise ship to slot 2.

Dude I don’t even care that this photo is terrible. It’s a snowy owl at an airport and I got a picture of it.

One of several Canada Jays feeding off a deer carcass … which I learned today is a favorite food of theirs. @ Saz-Zim Bog

You know how many people were involved in creating and approving that Dunkin ad? At any stage in that process, someone should have been brave enough to say, “this is so bad guys.”

Have you seen our bison?

Winter birding is so much fun. Quiet. No mosquitoes. Get all bundled up, toe warmers, hand warmers, layers, boots. Sure I only saw 10 species, but if the birds show out, I’ll toss on the purple parka that makes me look like Barney, and then I will too.

Please enjoy this pic of a bald eagle #birds

Solved my anxiety for .75 cents

The 60 Minutes story on Anthropic is super terrifying.

This was one of 14 monarchs I raised from an egg this year. All were successfully released. It’s such a quiet thing I do. But I thought maybe someone out there could use some beauty.

The next season of The Bear is going to be fire

I don’t know why I watch Dancing with the Stars. But I love it so much.

Someone scrawled "Hi!" in the dust of my cube window—and suddenly, I'm in the first scene of a horror movie.

Must see TV

They gutted NOAA — is that because the agency “failed to tell the story” about how predicting hurricanes is good? The people destroying these agencies are deranged conspiracists allergic to basic facts and expertise. *This* is the important thing to stress when describing and responding to it.

@campmustelid.bsky.social *immediately goes to website to order more* #warblers

Are you really doing a birding festival right if you don’t come home bruised, body in shambles, still picking of ticks, exhausted, exhilarated, needing to take Monday off, and checking online for you next bins upgrade? #indianadunesbirdingfestival

I’m at the Indiana Dunes Birding Fest and look who’s in my swag bag! @rosemarymosco.com

Got some fun video of a Black-throated Blue warbler. I’m very pleased. #birding

How quickly Nefertari gives up the highly secretive info about Moses will forever crack me up. All Moses asks is “how can a cloth destroy me” and she sings like a crazy bird. I would have held out longer than 2 seconds.

Some days you’re the kestrel and some days you’re the vole

Damn #survivor I’m not crying you are

Red-shoulder hawks are my favorite. This one was so unbothered by me and focused on getting a meal that I got this shot thru my sunroof.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Drone sightings = bird flu. I can't tell if this guy is really onto something or this is just bonkers.

Pennywise does not know her little tongue is sticking out.

Posting this moment of zen.

This is Frankie (aka Pennywise). This is Frankie's box. It has crinkle paper in it. She does not want you to put in softer material. Just the crinkle paper, if you please.

Team, my new rescue looks like Pennywise the Clown.

Adopted a senior lady this week. She's been through some stuff for sure. She's pretty much been sleeping and purring for 5 days straight. Kind of crazy looking, like a cobbled-together cat. Meet Frankie, y'all.

Throwback to April 2024 ... Nearing the end of a birding hike at Goose Pond. You can't tell, but in a few mins, I'm about to find 2 Black-necked Stilts.

From April: A Northern Parula performing air-ballet. Reliably always hear them in spring but impossible to actually find.

Early Sept I had 18 5th-instar Monarch cats in my Swamp Milkweed. I caught a couple of No. Cardinals feasting themselves (I hope they got tummy aches) so I brought in the remaining cats to safety. Here they are on release day, beautiful and ready for the journey south.

Hosted cedar waxwing babies this summer. Never getting over their little wax butts.
