@alan678.bsky.social The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Here's a common grackle on maple. This is tough: the season of bare branches only lasts a minute in FL. New and old leaves may overlap.

Standard answer, when asked about something I have no knowledge of: "I don't know NOTHIN' 'bout birthin' babies!"
I missed to finding Library books loaded with crumbs and unidentifiable smudges, but this one is different. It looks pristine. It looks completely unread. But it reeks of perfume and makes me cough every time I open it. 🤨
Bureaucracy was Austria's national pastime.
Just name the ones who haven't got a history of violence against women, it'll save time.

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts some of your earliest bird captures. A pileated woodpecker visited a cabbage palm in my yard at just the right height to be photographed from our second floor deck with a phone.
This why I have to reload the feeder every morning. A single fish crow can sweep most of the contents onto the ground using its big beak as a shovel, while looking for the prize in the box of crackerjack. Crow. Sweep. Sweep. Sweep.
I remember getting my 2-year-old to show us how to use the VCR. 🤣
You know those letters you get every year of your working life that estimate what your social security benefit will be when you retire? They're just kidding.
Americans’ Social Security benefits will have to be cut by roughly a quarter in six years due to depleted funds, according to a June report from the Social Security Board of Trustees. That’s months sooner than the group had estimated in 2025. https://to.pbs.org/4f39DL0
Good morning, my Bleeps. Morning bunny.
@robcrank68.bsky.social Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BestOfJuly I chose American white ibis in a tree. They are usually seen foraging on the ground, so seeing them here was a treat. Just for abstract artistic fun, I'm including a mourning dove taken with a wet lens.

This is Chuck. He's our trans rooster, started life as Arlene, got too little estrogen and developed tail feathers a little while ago. He crows, he looks after his Ladies, he is amazing.🌈 We insulated the coop & let him out at respectable times so the neighbours don't hate him.

My wild rabbits eat peanuts. Trained by squirrels, I guess. They don't read the internet.
Oklahoma Governor Alfalfa Bill Murray thought he could alleviate the drought in Depression era farmlands by drilling into the Ogallala Aquifer to create lakes and ponds. Reminds me of someone who wanted to nuke hurricanes to alter their paths or rake the forests to control wildfires. 🫤
Good morning, my Bleeps. Welcome to August. My petunias are hanging on in the summer heat, and looking for sun.
I've already gobbled up my first two chocolate-covered marshmallow pumpkins of the season, and I don't feel the least bit guilty. You know this happens because THERE ARE NO GOOD CANDY HOLIDAYS IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER! And also because Walgreens displays them under your nose at checkout.
@alan678.bsky.social Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OverTheRainbow, any bird looking skyward. Here's a blue jay, looking for ... ?
