A first instar Monarch butterfly caterpillar on Common milkweed. When the cats hatch, they turn around and eat the egg they just emerged from. Definitely fits #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #small

Wood ducks are cavity nesters and frequently use nest boxes. After the ducklings hatch, the next day, after the female ensures it is safe, the ducklings jump out of the box to start their adventurous life. Photos taken in my yard. #Birdoftheday theme #takeoff 🪶

For today's #BirdoftheDay theme of #closeup, here is a preening Gentoo penguin. The gland is a uropygial gland that secretes oil. By preening the oil into their feathers, penguins stay waterproof and warm. 🪶

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

✅ Cool: I found a Baltimore Oriole nest on the ground.
❌ Not cool: it's almost entirely composed of fishing line.
I wonder if the parents a) used it and b) lost any offspring to entanglement.
Please clean up discarded fishing line.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.
SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?
Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.
It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Marty’s photo of the day #4879: If you live in America, where the party in power gets its rocks off by being vindictive and cruel, it’s important to keep in mind that their time is limited. Most of us will see their fall. In the meantime, here’s some baby duck cuteness to reflect on.
