Got a Downy Woodpecker and a Red-shafted Flicker on the suet blocks at the same time, quite uncommon in my yard (northeastern Oregon). That the flicker had its back to me made this pic possible. I swear flickers are the wariest birds out there-- they hate it when anyone even looks at them! 🪶

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Let me tell you about Melissa Hortman.

It’s the early 2000s. She and her husband, Mark, tell their kids they are driving from their Minneapolis home to Michigan on a camping trip. Sophie and Colin are stoked.
