Last night we lost Bear. He was the friendliest stray when I saw symptoms of heartworm, got him treated and then adopted him 10 years ago. We're going to miss him so much.

In memory of graham. He's the third of 3 14year old litter mates we've lost in just 4 months. We're going to miss him so much...

#OTD in Weather History, 48 years ago, on November 10, 1975, the ore freighter SS EDMUND FITZGERALD was lost with all hands in a severe storm on Lake Superior. She is perhaps the best known shipwreck on the Great Lakes, and today we remember her loss. 1/

Meet our new puppy, Ellie. We picked her up from the animal shelter a couple weeks and she's a delight! A very smart girl and just full of puppy energy!!

In memory of jennings. He was the smartest dog. It's been a hard 2 months for my wife and I, We've lost 3 pets in that time and it's just crushing...

In memory of Trey. We had him for over 20 years. Up until we brought him inside about 10 years ago, He kept our barns rat population in control. He was the very best ratter, and would leave us one as a present frequently. We're going to miss him!

I am so thankful for vpn!

Ridiculous that we have to keep repeating this in 2025, but: ✅ Vaccines save lives ✅ Flouride prevents cavities ✅ Sunscreen prevents skin cancer

In memory of our jilly bean. We were blessed to have her for 14 years. She was a wonderful dog and a loved member of our family. She'll truly be missed.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.

Quote of the day: "We are worrying about Iran's nuclear program today only because Trump ripped up the accord in 2018." -- @nickkristof.bsky.social at @nytopinion.nytimes.com

6 days old and HUNGRY! #birds

Now, the 2 little ones are starting to look a little like baby birds. #birds

2 hatchlings now. Odds are not great of any more hatching.☹️ #birds

The bluebirds 3rd nest of the year has begun hatching! #birds

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Trump and Miller aren’t deporting any of the millions of Russian nationals living in the USA back to Mother Putin.

I don't have any cattle, but I do have pet goats on my pasture. Western cattle egrets are happy to follow goats as well as cattle. #birds

Get these imbecilic, mass murderer wannabes out of our government!

I've been trying to get a brown thrasher Pic for some time. They usually seem to stay in thick brush, but finally saw one singing in a fairly open spot today. #birds

If we were still a democracy the GOP would not be proceeding with a budget that will hurt virtually every American except a handful of the richest and most powerful. But they don’t work for the voters. They work for their donors.

The latest batch of bluebird chicks were hungry this morning! #birds

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

Ummmmm

Our bluebird couple's second nest has started hatching. #birds

This man is going to get so many people killed with his lies and conspiracy theorist bullshit.

This great crested flycatcher posed for me for a short while this morning. Too bad the sun went behind a cloud then. #birds

Since it's in the 80s here, I guess this bird isn't floofed because it's cold. I think it's probably a juvenile northern cardinal. #birds

I can't imagine why they would name this bird a yellow rumped warbler. 😀 #birds

I was watching this red headed woodpecker drilling on an old post when it pulled out an acorn. #birds

Wanted to give a shout out to the merlin app.heard a different bird call a few days ago and merlin identified it as a summer manager. So I started taking pics of distant cardinals, and this one turned put to be a tanager! #birds

Spotted this fish crow flying in the distance with something in its beak. Picture shows it's a large stick! Guess it's building a nest. #birds

Ruby throated hummingbird landing for a drink. I may have to move the feeder to get a better light angle. #birds

This red bellied woodpecker reached into a crevice in an old log and pulled out this big, scrumptious looking beetle this morning. #birds

A female northern cardinal has just grabbed a tasty snack. A dung beetle! #birds

Today brought a new visitor to a wet area of my pasture. It landed in a dark area and didn't stay long, but I was able to brighten it enough to identify. A little blue Herron. #birds

Great podcast from last Friday. open.spotify.com/episode/7B6R...

I found this big snapper stuck in the fence this morning. I did manage to get him loose, but the poor critter really had a bad infestation of leeches. ☹️

THIS. #HandsOff
