Thanks, Hallmark Channel, I hate it. Of course it’s a guy introducing a woman to birding 🙄 Also he wants to be a bird guide and he’s using porro prism binos?? he doesn’t have a real neck strap? Or even a harness for that matter? Where the hell is his spotting scope?

Came home to find my screen ripped, glasses and cups on the floor, lamps unplugged, remotes everywhere and my tv on. I suspect a squirrel was on my deck and a merry chase ensued. Party is the sword in the darkness, the watcher on the deck. She is the shield that guards the realms of Shaz.

Consider considering the number of people that I have told on dating apps that I won’t pee on them, I’m remarkably OK with a sled dog just staring at me while I peed for the rest of my life.

She’s in a completely new space. She doesn’t know yet that she will never go back to Alaska. She’s happy but she’s uncertain. And having a constant paw on me right now is bringing her comfort. Oh my heart.

A big thanks to Denali Kennels for making this happen, the Denali wolf biologist for escorting her down, Gayle for documenting the event, Josh for being my driver. Party Pants is now in my home, sleeping against me on the couch. Lost a government job. Gained a government dog. Good trade.

In roughly five hours I’ll be reunited with this girl and Party and I will be two middle-aged ladies living our best lives.

Migration was on fire last night. Radar stations can detect that millions of birds are in the air, but can’t form anything so it shows up as blue circles in their field.

I have had one lone male red-winged blackbird on my wetland the last week. Today he actually started singing. I wanted to high five him for being the first one back and singing. Also, first of year killdeer and sandhill cranes flew over.
