“Not for rinsing or washing,” they said. (Seen at Union Station.)

Bird ppl help me out: what is this. Merlin was picking up its call as a dark-eyed junko, it sounded like a junko, was hanging out with other junkos, but has a white head. Did I get lucky enough to see one with leucism or that's piebald?

Seattle's powerful hearing examiner just thwarted a needed grocery store because the city compared the potential environmental impact of a new Winco to the building's previous use as a store—rather than its current "use" as a vacant building. Perverse logic. www.seattletimes.com/business/rea...

plants should be able to suck oxygen back from people they don’t like

Yeah, MS (Multiple Sclerosis) sucks, but it's especially annoying when it interferes with my photography/videography! My low eye level on a mobility scooter meant the safety fence blocked some action when an immature Great Blue Heron tried to raid a nest! #birds #photography #ECK #WestCoastKin
