Saw my first goslings today! Well away from the cherry blossom crowds. Regular old Canadians, the Graylag is still on her nest. Can't confirm the warblers, but I did watch this very vocal vireo singing its heart out for a bit. And the ruby-crowned kinglets! My, how much fun they are...

Uh oh: Somebody saw his horrible 33pct approval/67 pct disapproval numbers and is lashing out online all hours of the night. Shows just how laser-focused he is on the lives and economic hardships of regular Americans.

Can't even watch the Sabres game but it's stressing me, ha, and that reminds me: the Welcome To Lindy Ruffalo sign is still up as of Sunday and I'm 100% here for it.

The 10 highest-paid utility company executives raked in more than $220 million last year. Meanwhile, utility companies asked for a record $31 billion in rate increases, affecting 81 million customers across the country. Yes: utility CEOs are raking it in while millions struggle to pay their bills.

Canadians have been taking fewer trips to the U.S. for the 14th consecutive month, coinciding with Trump's return to office, data released by Statistics Canada shows.

Are fewer Canadians travelling to U.S.?
As airlines adjust their flight services because of higher jet fuel costs, new data from Statistics Canada shows Canadians have been travelling overseas more but to the U.S. less over the past year.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

The ruckuses (ruckii?) around Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, etc. came years before the Weinstein revelations of fall 2017. They're still coming. Maybe the NYT should read the NYT which just did a

Meanwhile, I'm super stoked that I'm now eligible to become a Canadian citizen more easily thanks to this new law and my Canadian great-grandfather.

New law paves clearer path for Americans to gain Canadian citizenship
A new law passed in December has paved the way for more Americans to apply for Canadian citizenship, which has led to a spike in inquiries from the U.S.

SCOTUS didn't acknowledge him as he entered the court, the legal arguments aren't going his way, and the 'intimidation factor' is officially hitting zero. It’s almost as if the Constitution is immune to his specific brand of theatrical pouting. Tough day for the 'King'.

This is appalling. Indigenous people are the original inhabitants of this continent and, here in New Mexico, we live that truth every day. The fact that the Solicitor General of the United States would hesitate on our citizenship is outrageous and horrific.

Honestly the justices (particularly Justice Sotomayor) sound ... somewhat taken aback that they're even hearing this case. And ... same? Also - you didn't have to! You could have just issued a summary op saying "See the Fourteenth Amendment"! Even last year in the nationwide inujunction case!

I was so excited about all the good gull shots I was getting, imagine my delight when I turned the corner and saw hundreds of mergansers in the water.

And many more quieter feathered friends, including the gulls, the mallards, the cardinals, the cormorants, and the red-bellieds.

Merlin did not hear the resident red-bellied woodpecker or the four double-crested cormorants this morning, or the kingfisher we heard yesterday. Plenty of others, though not sure about the white-crowned sparrow.

There is an extremely large family of American crows that occasionally gathers on my corner. Today was one of those days. They have one fish crow in their murder. I'm dying to know the story behind that. Its nasal call is so very distinct and unusual, a dead giveaway.

Confident Merlin had the red-shouldered hawk & the eagle confused with the two red-tailed hawks who were hunting & had all these other birds a flutter. I did hear wheezing, but it seems too soon for the waxwings? This is the second time in the same area-ish Merlin heard a meadowlark.
