Good morning from near Algonquin Park in #Ontario, #Canada. There is still snow on the ground, and the red sky is truly a warning that today is going to be a wet one. 20 to 40 mm of rain so the ducks are going to love it. #Nature #weather @weathernetwork.bsky.social

For today's #Birdoftheday theme #longnecks, here are hundreds of Sandhill cranes in a farmfield near Long Point in #Ontario #Canada. #crane #sandhillcrane #birds #birdsky #nature #naturephotography #birdphotography #LongPoint

They also tap to attract mates. Heard one yesterday tapping on the neighbour's metal antenna tower. They're searching for the loudest objects to tap.

They’ve been tapping the top of the metal parking lights down here. Silly things. Couldn’t figure what the noise was at first.

The dudes want a big bang to show how strong they are to attract the chicks. 😉

The sun is up, and so are the golden-crowned kinglets, almost always the first songbird we sight in the spring. #birds #birding #nature #birdphotography #Ontario #Canada

As is so often the case, we heard a tapping in a forest, and so we followed the sound. And so for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #Woodland, here is a pileated woodpecker that went silent as we approached. #birds #birding #nature #birdphotography #Ontario #Canada 🍁

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #Woodland here is a brown creeper in a forest near us. #birds #birding #nature #birdphotography #Ontario #Canada 🍁

Cute!

Canada is also saying that Lebanon has to be included in any peace framework This is huge Because when Canada says it, it really means 100 other countries are saying it, but they don’t have the clout to say it and they need Canada to say it for them

I think this red fox would agree: when is winter going to end? Time for the Great White Snowy North to become the Great Green Grassy North. #Nature #winter #wildlife #fox #Ontario #Canada 🍁❄️🌳

It is chilly outside, and so this gray jay has puffed up to help keep warm. #birds #birding #birdphotography #nature #Ontario #Canada

Cold winds continued to blow this morning as the snow falls yet again, winter seems far from over here in the Great White Snowy North near #AlgonquinPark. #Nature #snow @weathernetwork.bsky.social #naturephotography #Ontario #Canada 🍁

look at that tail! 😍

Showing off that beautiful tail 🤩

1/2. Notice that after losing the war Trump threatens his allies rather than Russia — even though Russia quite literally helped Iran defeat the US and he knows it.

Great shot.

This Cooper's Hawk can't wait for the next #TACOTuesday. Like all Cooper's hawks, it loves chickens, Donald Trump. #TACOTrump #Iran #birds

Here is a brown-headed cowbird at a feeder in our backyard for today’s #birdoftheday theme #manmadeperch. #birds #birdphotography #Nature #Ontario #Canada #hawk

It's always good on a cold spring morning to have a warm coat on. #Nature #Wildlife #Moose #Wildlifephotography #AlgonquinPark #Ontario #Canada

Going to be a while before we go canoeing near Algonquin Park. Still lots of snow and ice this morning in the Great White Snowy North in #Canada. #Nature #Naturephotography #Ontario

Jeffries calls for Mike Johnson to immediately reconvene the House to take up a war powers resolution

MAJOR BREAKING: Judge Chris Taylor, the Democratic-backed candidate, has won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The result expands the court’s liberal majority to 5–2, extending its current ideological balance for years to come.

Greenpeace USA went to the White House today and called for Trump to be removed from office for war crimes, via @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social www.greenpeace.org/usa/greenpea... #iran

What will tomorrow bring for the children of #Iran? Will they get to see the sunrise tomorrow morning? Or will Donald Trump fulfill his madness and become a mass murderer of children? There are, according to #UNICEF, 24,508,066 children tonight in Iran.

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people. We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

If you're in Georgia's 14th Congressional District and you're freaking out. There's something you can actually do. There's a special election tonight. GO NOW. Vote Shawn Harris. Bring the Republican majority down.

This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Interesting to see Tucker Carlson and Chris Murphy in direct agreement here:

Tucker Carlson joins with six senior Democrats in calling on military personnel to refuse to execute illegal orders targeting Iran and its civilian infrastructure. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Half an hour later in Newfoundland.

Making Duck and Cover great again. This is why we have a 25th amendment. So that we can survive the apocalyptic fantasies of a madman.

Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

Renowned Iranian composer, Ali Ghamsari and tar virtuoso, announced he will stay at the Damavand Combined Cycle Power Plant. His plan: Create music there as a symbolic effort to shield Iran's infrastructure from attack. @iranscreenshot

Yah. ... I am rethinking Tim Hortons. Or. The local poutine truck. 🤔oh hell. Why not both.

Well, since this is the end, I guess there's no point in going to the gym today.

Carney on Trump/Iran: "Canada expects all parties in this conflict, in any conflict, to respect international laws, the rules of engagement, and that means not targeting certainly civilians or civilian infrastructure, and we urge all parties in this war to follow those responsibilities."

Why are we on the "Eve Of Destruction" Donald Trump? WHY? "And you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend How you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction" I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation Handful of senators don't pass legislation" www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfZV...

A bit of a fun project this spring. This is the amount of maple syrup we produced from our single maple tree this year. A single tree, we are told, can yield .75 to 1.5 liters of pure maple syrup. So I think we did okay and look forward to our first #Pancakes. #MadeinCanada #maplesyrup #Ontario

Seriously, what the fuck is this. This is completely deranged, and anyone who can’t say so is a coward.
