So many birds moving through our yard right now! Robins, juncos, LOTS of tanagers, nuthatches, yellow-rumped warblers, flickers, chickadees, and two Anna's hummingbirds. I love seeing mixed feeding flocks.

A woodpecker called a Northern Flickers is tossing a berry from a Virginia creeper plant growing on a chain link fence into its mouth. The bird has a brown back with black barring, a pale pink chest with black spots, a black bib, a gray head with a long beak, and a pale brown cap.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Last wildfire season a dear friend almost lost their home. Firefighters saved it. This year they harvested morels on their property. She shared some with me ❤️

Morel mushrooms from last year’s fire season.

The American Kestrel—North America's smallest falcon—is famous for its ability to "wind-hover". By angling its body into the wind, rapidly flapping its wings, and making subtle tail adjustments, the bird stays completely stationary in midair to spot and ambush prey like insects and small rodents.
