Summoned yet again for a meeting that could have been an email. #birdoftheday #ducks #birds #ChurchillIsland #Australia

For today’s #birdoftheday #allweathers theme, we have a Steller’s jay at the snowbirds’ all-you-can-eat buffet. #stellersjay #birds #snowday

The bill of the Cape Barren goose doubles as a highlighter. #birdoftheday #goose #geese #phillipisland #phillipislandwildlifepark #australia #capebarrengoose

My #birdoftheday #silhouette is a green ibis taking in what I’m sure is a spectacular view. #GreenIbis #CostaRica #Birds

Today’s #birdoftheday is #mostlywhite, full of style, and living its best life at Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary in Oregon. #Birds #Chickens #WhiteSilkie

Having only ever seen them caged, imagine what a thrill it was to see these beauties in the wild. My #favorite ( #favourite ) #birdoftheday is the scarlet macaw. #ScarletMacaw #Birds #CostaRica

Delighted to share the most reliable visitor to my garden for #BirdOfTheDay — the scrub jay. Is there a sassier bird? #BirdsInMyGarden #ScrubJay #Corvids

Fortunately, the ignorance that prevents me from identifying this fungus does not prevent me from appreciating its beauty! #FungiFriday #ParqueNacionalManuelAntonio #CostaRica

I’m not good at identifying all the different sparrows, but I know a good mama when I see one. #BirdOfTheDay #SmallBirds #Sparrow #LBB

You really want me back? Tell Disney+ and ABC to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel, apologize for your error in judgment, and vow never again to capitulate to the fascist who’s trying to dismantle the First Amendment. #BoycottDisneyPlus #BoycottABC #BoycottHulu #FreeJimmyKimmel

Well, that’s just not true. They could grow a spine and reinstate him. #FreeJimmy #BoycottABC #NoKings

“Whatever the hell they served us.” The Toddler-in-Chief’s response when questioned about what he ate at the state banquet held in his honor in England. Class act, as usual. Our apologies, Your Majesty. He doesn’t represent most of us. #ToddlerInChief #NotMyPresident #FightFascism #NoKingsHere

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay entry is supposed to be a bird with black or white coloring, but I couldn’t choose between the two. I give you perhaps the most black AND white bird ever, the Australian magpie. #BlackAndWhite #AustralianMagpie #RoyalTasmanianBotanicalGardens #Tasmania #Australia

In the words of @jodipicoult.bsky.social—I couldn’t have said it better myself. #FightFascism #SupportFreeSpeech #DefendTheConstitution #FreeJimmyKimmel #NoKings

This #BirdOfTheDay is a #SilverGull at Port Arthur Historic Site in Tasmania giving me the stink-eye because I wouldn’t share my crisps. #Gulls #Tasmania #PortArthur

Remember Pesto, the giant chonk of a penguin at the Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium who went viral last year? I was lucky enough to visit him and get this shot of his super fluffy #BirdButt. #BirdOfTheDay #KingPenguin #PestoThePenguin #MelbourneAustralia #SeaLifeMelbourneAquarium

A little Central American specimen for #FungiFriday, spotted in Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, in 2022. #PhotoADay #Fungi #ScarletCup

My Bird of the Day is the often under appreciated turkey vulture, soaring here in the blue sky looking for something to clean up for us. #BirdOfTheDay #TurkeyVulture #Birds

Preordering a couple of new books by @stevenrowley.bsky.social, one of my favorite authors, because I know they’ll bring me joy. And boy, do I need some joy! #ilovetoread #supportindiebookstores #buybooks

I love my new paintings by Kate Burt at The Grief Gift Shop! And no, I’m not grieving this little guy: Beanie Wienie is very much alive and sassy as ever—Kate does not restrict her work to memorial portraits! #theGriefGiftShop #WienerLover #IHeartDachshunds #BeanieWienie #BuyArt
