This morning on my Whorled Milkweed!

My brother just sent me this photo while he was out for a walk. Trumpeter Swan? #birds

A family of bluebirds taking advantage of the mealworms I put out (I need a better camera!). #birds

My brother Nick never ceases to amaze me. This is an absolute punch in the gut. Especially converging this image depicting the backwards trajectory we are on with the iconic image from WWII when the tide was finally turning for freedom. Bravo, Nick! @andertoon.bsky.social

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK5Y.... This speech is incredible. He speaks with such passionate conviction.

My Chickadee babies hatched yesterday. Both parents are working together to keep them warm, fed, and safe. So nice to have a camera on them so I can monitor without disturbing them! #birds

My dog has so much energy, he makes me crazy at times. But oh my gosh- can he be any cuter? (He also picks on our cat all the time- luckily, she has sharp claws!)

My first Bluebird nest fledged today and my 4th just hatched. I love helping these beautiful feathered friends so much! #birds

Mama bluebird packed in tonight with her close-to-fledging babies. I have 4 bluebird nests, 3 Tree Swallow Nests and 1 chickadee nest. #birds

This is the quietest month I've had, possibly ever. I have a favour to ask, if you like my work, could you please give it a share to help it get in front of more people? Thank you :) #watercolours #birdart 🪶

I am so pumped! 2 chickadee nests, 4 bluebird nests (one with white eggs) and a pair of Tree Swallows actively checking out a box. These incredible creatures are the best distraction from YKW! #birds

My 5 percenters are back! How does a pair of bluebirds migrate over hundreds of miles and come back to the exact same box 2 years in a row? Birds are amazing creatures!

First bluebird egg! Woohoo!!

Tree Swallows are back! They are fueling up. Boxes are ready! (Lots of Bluebirds claiming my boxes now) #Birds

I’ve got an ornery Downy destroying two of my boxes. I’ve never had this problem. I put a 1 1/8” hole reducer in the entry hole to only allow chickadees in. I have a camera in this box, too. She must have done this quickly.

Finally finished it! #birds

Bluebirds checking out all the boxes near our house. Still need to get the rest of my trail up.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... This is pure evil. Shame on the media for not shining a continual spotlight on this atrocity. Shame on the GOP for allowing this to happen.

Bluebirds already checking out my boxes! I’m not ready- yikes!

Please write to these business owners headquartered in MN. Tell them to speak out against ICE. Ask them to support ICE OUT MN this Friday, January 23rd by closing their businesses in solidarity. They have the power to thwart this authoritarian power grab.

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks. For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

Facing a knee replacement in early February. Just got these going for the spring- cold stratification of several monarch host plants. Something to look forward to!

This show. Mrs Hall and Siegfried must get together! Sheer delight and makes you believe in the best of humanity. Season 6 drops in January.

What a life…

A Downy Woodpecker in one of my boxes. Nice and cozy and blocks the chill. #birds

Just put my bird tree up. #birds

Huge rally near the Ohio State House. Lots of support from cars honking!

Just signed up. Helping scientists track needed Monarch habitat.

Migration in full swing. Lots of Monarchs coming through.

Spice Bush caterpillar in my neighbor’s backyard. The butterfly is stunning. Planning to plant a few spice bushes (their host plant) in my backyard. Damn! Nature makes my heart skip a beat!

Found in the parking lot at Wild Birds Unlimited. They had planted 1 Whorled Milkweed plant and a monarch found it. Goes to show that if we all planted just a few native plants each, the impact would be enormous for pollinators.
