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.

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.

When you're an office clerk at a state park, most days are copy/phones/registrations. But some days people hand you an owl, too

Was talking to a neighbor in her front yard and I trailed off mid-sentence and stared up into the silver birch behind her. Anyway, this is what it's like to have outdoor conversations with a birder. (Ruby-crowned kinglets migrating thru on Oct 22)

Not a hummingbird. Refuse to believe it's a moth. The most unserious thing in my yard. hummingbird clear wing (Hemaris thysbe)

Hey all. Happy to be here. Birds and native plants are my thing, but not what I do for a living. Maybe some day.
