For the #blue theme of #BirdOfTheDay, the spectacular and endangered Azure-rumped Tanager - found only in humid foothills of southernmost Mexico and Guatemala. #birds

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OddCouples , two different birds in one capture - here's two very different gulls, a small Franklin's Gull trying to push around a much larger Western Gull. (A third species of gull is at the bottom right.) 🪶

Today’s #Birdoftheday theme is #staredown - and this Rufous-crowned Laughingthrush (endemic to Taiwan) has fixed its gaze right on you. 🪶

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #posted, a bird on a post or fence, and the alternate is #red - here's both themes in one, a Vermilion Flycatcher. 🪶

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #Pigeons&Doves - I missed the backyard birds day, so I'll combine them with this Mourning Dove splashing in my fountain. 🪶

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections, any bird reflection. This Snowy Egret had a bit of a narcissus thing going on. 🪶

For @alan678.bsky.social #BirdoftheDay theme, #BrownIsBeautiful: oh yes, it is! Here's three wrens, all once called Winter Wren (or just "Wren" if you're British), now three separate species. 🪶 (IDs and locations in the alt text)

I said what I said about the silly people who say, "But there has to be a path back for MAGA folk!🤡" There has always been a path back. It's never been an issue at all. Many anti-MAGA folk spent some part of their life on the hateful side.

But the path back involves repair. Undoing harm. Like this.
He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.

Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

This Mikado Pheasant was #walking in the highlands of Taiwan, little knowing he was walking right into the theme of #BirdOfTheDay as set by @alan678.bsky.social . 🪶

This Taiwan Yuhina snacking on a caterpillar satisfies the #BirdOfTheDay theme - #FeedingTime, any bird eating. 🪶 They're rather tit-like in appearance and behavior, but not at all related - the closest relatives are white-eyes!

A #Raptor capture for #BirdOfTheDay - a Barred Forest-Falcon from the cloud forest of Guatemala. 🪶 Most of my experiences with forest-falcons have been quick glimpses - this one Just Sat There.

Lovely article about an oddball who bought a failing high-end oboe company and is trying to make it work, with a staff of oddballs. This is what I want to read.

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Solitude, here are three birds which were, in a sense, very much alone. Each of these are birds from eastern Asia which found their way to northern California over the years, far from any other members of their species. 🪶 (IDs in alt text)

For #BirdsInFlight and #BirdOfTheDay, how about this Northern Mockingbird, caught doing its display flight? I haven't often seen this, and felt lucky to have my camera on me! 🪶

This young White-tailed Kite nicely fits the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme by @alan678.bsky.social today - #city (any #birds in a city environment) - as it flies along with San Francisco's Bay Bridge in the background. 🪶

/8 A huge part of what makes it very hard to convict Jonathan Ross for murder was baked into America generations before Trump was President. That’s the primary factor that lets law enforcement kill with impunity, not Trump.
