I keep thinking about the Statue of Liberty. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.”
@theineptbirder.bsky.social Before I forget, thank you again for the tips on the ebird charts! I have been looking at those ever since you posted that info. Two days ago, we had our first (that I know of at our feeders) female purple finch! I hope she sticks around for the #GBBC.
We need to bring back #stickhappens or maybe #brancheshappen This morning a hawk was in the yard, it flew up to a tree at the other end of the yard. #nature #birdsofbluesky #hawksofbluesky

I look at this broken off branch every day. It’s still not a great horned owl. ☺️
I hung it up the bird feeder yest, the tufted titmice and juncos are paying attention.
Then I saw this in the tree near the feeder! Wha?! Ok, no, there’s snow on top of it. Not an owl. But my phone says otherwise. 😆

A Moment of Zen to start your day:
Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Inst. (MBARI) documented an encounter with Stygiomedusa gigantea, the giant phantom jelly.
The Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) named "Doc Ricketts" captured this video at a depth of 990 meters (3,200 feet) in Monterey Bay.
Hypnotic!

Hello Bluesky user—are you, yes you, suddenly having a hard time getting a breath?

Let's meet one of the earliest fossil owls, Berruornis orbisantiqui.
The name means "old-world bird from Mont Berru (France)".
It was ENORMOUS, with wing-span up to 1.5 m (5 ft), but I need to bend your brain a little.
See, the earliest owls VERY NEARLY OVERLAP with dinosaurs like T. rex.

There are over 18,000 types of lichen in existence. My personal favourite is ‘village bench lichen’, which devotes its entire existence selflessly to gradually making communal public seating more furry and comfortable.

Love how the presumption here is that the President doesn't know what he's sharing and that's fine and normal.
Sorry, no, if the President doesn't know what he's sending out then that is indisputable proof of gross incompetence, cognitive unfitness, or both.

No, you just need a Congress that takes its oath to the Constitution seriously
We need constitutional amendments to take back some of these expanded executive branch powers. Maybe we create a 4th branch of government that is independent of the President. The SCOTUS let Trump go too far. There is much that can be done, but it will require constitutional Amendments.

The U.S. has about 180,000 precincts. ICE has 22,000 staff, less than 6,000 of whom are in "enforcement and removal operations," and many of whom have already quiet-quit or quit-quit their jobs because of abysmal morale and the realization the bonuses ain't happening.
They aren't surrounding shit.

Steve Bannon says the federal government is planning to send ICE officers to patrol polling stations during the midterms.
