Astoria the Wild Turkey explores The Battery in the snow on Sunday. 🦃 ❤️ ❄️

Thank you Diana ( @dianadwilder.bsky.social ) for this morning's #FoxOfTheDay !

Cold weather brings in the Goldfinches, up to 60 in the yard, along with 2 dozen doves, dozen Junkos, couple of Tree Sparrows, House Sparrows, 8 Blue Jays and a handfull of Starlings.. Only the best sunflower chips for no mess..

Cold but getting through it, I think this Bluejay actually enjoys the cold. She's been getting all the peanuts and mealworms she wants, often visiting for a quick bite every half hour or so. North Texas #photography #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #Texas #backyardbirds

Astoria the Wild Turkey made it through a cold and windy Friday night and Saturday morning. Her beautiful plumage provides highly effective insulation, trapping tiny pockets of air close to her body. 🦃 ❤️ 🔥

We loved last night's Barefoot in the Park performance at the Metro Theatre! A brilliant, pitch-perfect comedy with top-notch acting from the entire cast. Highly recommended! metrotheatre.com/neil-simons-...

I ventured out to Central Park early this morning during the Blizzard of '26. It was beautiful and eerily quiet, and I ran into a couple of avian buddies, including this Northern Cardinal, all puffed up to keep warm! ❄️❄️❄️ #Cardinal #CentralPark #birdcpp

We thoroughly enjoyed last night's Arts Club opening of You're Just a Place That I Know. This "theatrical concert" is filled with great live music and utterly remarkable stories -- and it's a brilliant night out! Check it out here: artsclub.com/shows/2025-2...

Come on #QPR!

Yet another beauty from @RichardBowler1 for today's #FoxOfTheDay , top work Richard !

Frosty faces on the chickadees today. These tiny birds maintain a body temperature of 40C - that's a 70C gradient across only a few centimeters from the outside air to the bird's core! These little guys blow my mind. #birds 🌿

Love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena) is a delicate, old-fashioned annual with a quietly magical look. Wildly romantic & ephemeral. 🌱 #gardening #zone6b #flower #flowerfriday #bloomscrolling #blue #lovelythings

The Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games are Feb 6-22 and the Paralympic Winter Games are Mar 6-15 Throwback to Vancouver 2010 when our Olympic cauldron was behind a big fence so no one could get close to it

Lovely BBC video: www.bbc.com/video/discov...

"You cannot "live within the lie" of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

In the evening, Astoria walks The Battery with her devoted friend and guardian Stella Hamilton, who guides Astoria to a safe fly-up and helps park-goers better understand and appreciate their Turkey Princess. 🦃 ❤️ 👑

Awww! So sad. I can't drink beer now because I'm gluten free, but their Nightwatch Lager is one of my all-time fave coffee brews. That's a fantastic beer. Race Rocks is a great ale, and their vanilla stout. Aww. #yyj
