Ugh! Having trouble uploading endoscopic videos inside of tree in my yard. Ants are rehoming/recycling a beehive (still photos).

Ants recycle/reuse a bee hive in my tree! I had no idea. External April 2025 video: Beehive & Oak Titmouse nest box co-existed. INTERNAL (endoscopic camera) Sept. 2025 video: Ants have taken over that same bee hive. Did bees abandon it first? Nature constantly surprises me! Videos next.

I've a male Nuttall's woodpecker roosting nightly in a box. He prefers the entry hole facing the ground! He likes the "privacy panel" (roof overhang). He's adorable! Some mornings, he pokes his head out, surveys the scene, remembers Trump is pres. & goes back inside for a bit.

3 drones above the Salinas protest. Know nothing about them. Note supportive honking. ❤️ Today's protest area typically was where conservative, anti-gay(Prop 8), Republicans/MAGA folks "went public". Not Today! Significantly, 1st time I saw many Hispanics and Whites protesting together. Beautiful!

My friend's family participated in the 7 miles along the El Camino Real from Palo Alto to Sunnyvale today for the No Kings protest. Other friends/family said around 5K people in Ventura, CA protested at the gov't center in town.

What's this? Instead of an empty Nest Box #1, as expected since all the hatchlings fledged yesterday, there's a lone mystery egg! Hmmmm. Stay tuned. Further observations will explain this. I've some guesses.

The Oak Titmouse hatchlings fledged yesterday (5-4-25) from Nest Box #1! Caught 4 on video (below)! However, I had a big surprise waiting for me in the same box today. A few hypotheses about this mystery. See next photo. A lone egg the next day after all birds fledged! Hmmm.

My kid is a MD PhD. PhD (cancer). It's a slog of 12 additional years AFTER graduating 4 yr. university. USA can't just pop out medical scientists when we need them! The pipeline of university to private, government & academic sectors is our model. WHAT'S YOUR PLAN B Trump after you break it?

Trump University had to pay a $25M settlement for defrauding its students. This is the same Trump who's trying to coerce Harvard so he can run it as authoritarians do. Harvard is suing him. Four of the nine SCOTUS justices are Harvard grads. "Be true to your school" SCOTUS.

Uh oh. Look who's decided to be my nesting Oak Titmouse neighbors. So far everyone is coexisting. Bees below and birds above. That tree is well used.
