ok so. I live in the common grackle’s year-round range. Flocks show up in late winter and maintain a heavy presence in yard/at feeders and gradually leave as it gets hotter. Currently they’re enjoying my suet and peanuts. I put out a basin of water and have noticed it contains a WHOLE LOT of poop

Attention Baltimore: Please hit me with your catering/bulk order food recommendations for a smallish (<30 people) park picnic-party at end of May. Or lemme know if you’ve eaten anywhere amazing lately and lll see if they cater?! Thank you!!

She baby

Don’t you hate it when you’re hanging with the homies and loyalties shift and the lines between good and evil are blurred

I was out back prowling for flower pix and saw that a Pileated woodpecker has dined upon this stump?!!! Must have happened today! They really hacked it up!

This guy in NC birdwatching fb group accidentally tagged the tampon company in this comment

ME WHEN IT FINALLY STARTS RAINING FR

went to the mysterious stick hut in the woods and nobody knew you

#lilacupdate welcome to primetime 👐

When 2 butterflies encounter each other in the course of their flitting and do a little helix dance together>>>>>>>>>>>>

I’m about that thicket life. Im in the bramble business. Im that Shade-dappled mf

Wow I just thought this was mint and snapped a leaf to smell but yo it’s STINGING NETTLE lol ouch

delayed high thought from the metal show: I love it when a hard ass band has a little pillow all cozy in their kick drum. Curled up and comfy. While they go insanely hard for 30 straight minutes

My native plant people…IKYK! help lol I don’t wanna do this to 250 seeds. Will I sand off my fingerprints?! I just wanna start a couple plants and keep forgetting to do this plus 10 days of cold stratifying in the fridge

Also look at the beautiful Yellowlegs I saw on Monday! At first I thought Greater, but might be Lesser. It looked biggish IRL but the beak isn’t slightly upturned. I saw 3 others nearby and I’m 99% sure they were Greater, but they didn’t cluster together for a convenient size comparison

mourning doves are such freaks. Doing it everywhere in public! on the patio! On the truck cab! in the grass! Go off, honestly

Columbine’s first bloom! 🥲 #nativeplants 🌱 aquilegia canadensis also a cool name to say out loud

The baby rabbits are out of control. Hopping around all fast. Twitching little noses. So small you can barely see their ears above the grass

Catbirds are back🎶 3 in my yard already fighting over the suet 🩶🩶🩶

the concept of a remote worker lunch and learn is so cursed. I haven’t HAD my lunch yet! I still have to log out. And yet this call is an hour long…at the time I usually eat…..,,,,,,,

today's first song of the day is "bastards of young" by the replacements www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl9K...

my scrappy lil seedlings and sprouts are marked safe from the overnight freeze! whew. My stupid brain was using this as a late night anxiety roadblock to falling asleep. Jokes on me, they’re tough bc they survived that winter already!

Finally at the gym after 5 days of menstrual agonies and mental fatigue. It is so humbling that I have to keep doing reps to get stronger lol

This one!! Shout out to Benny Safdie blaring this in his car on that episode of the Curse

Any of you brilliant fungus freaks know what is this cup-like guest in my garden? Next to a nodding onion sprout #nativeplants #mushrooms #fungi

so glad I got a chance to immerse myself in blooming bluebells on Saturday

Me too, towhee friend. Hang in there #birds 🌿

My serviceberry has flowered!!! Leaves still budding. It has also grown taller since last year

I took a walk around the neighborhood & snapped pics to ID all the blooming trees. many are non-native but I do love and cherish, like the Japanese cherry. neighbor on the cul-de-sac has a mature horse chestnut that I covet. But…we got more Callery Pears than any other species except maybe Maples

“I asked ChatGPT”- ok well I asked the mycelium and it said to plant more trees and to tell you to return to the forest

Love living within earshot of the military proving ground. Ominous big booms? Normal stuff.

Vessel with rodents! Vessel with rodents! Vessel with rodents!

Today, this guy was busy. -Turned the TV on -Carried my sock downstairs from the bedroom and dropped it in front of me while I was eating -Stepped on my boob with all of his might -Let me rub his belly a lot

Idk why I thought this would be more complicate, but yay I made a good iced matcha latte at home!

happy to report my winter-sown container seeds sprouted!!!! All except BONESET which also didn’t germinate for me last year. There’s still time yet but whyyyyyy whatamidoingwrong?! previous winter’s containers also have sprouts but maybe oops all basil bc they parked under basil bushes last summer

I did laugh and cackle when I saw the robin attacking his reflection in my husbands truck mirror, leaving an absurd amount of robin poop all over the truck door. Then the robin transferred his attentions to MY CAR and now it is also covered in poop

Yes I am, w you ask
