First owl(s) of the year today - two Barred Owls! One was calling from a well-concealed spot in a densely-leafed tree, and the other swooped down in an attempt to catch a squirrel ten feet from where I stood. No pictures unfortunately, but an incredible sighting 🦉🦉

The Brants have officially arrived on the East River for the winter 🌊🪿🪶

One of the organizers of the memorial had the flower wreath made with all natural materials - no wires or foam - so it was animal friendly (and passed inspection from the Canada Geese) 🌿🪶

I do try to keep it to strictly nature and arts & crafts on here, but sometimes the world is just too annoying, sorry

A small handful of businesses opposed something that would objectively, unquestionably make 31st Street safer on multiple fronts, would likely increase business, actually, and is widely supported by residents and elected officials alike, but they won anyway, I’m so mad.

I’ve watched this video so many times, it only felt right to share it

Yeah I definitely get looks on the train when I use a wet wipe to hold onto the pole, but if they noticed how many people are just constantly, casually wiping their noses with their bare hands . . .

I was finally able to get my Covid booster today, pls clap

It’s a Mockingbird kind of day 🩶
