Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) male
On a lake in Clearwater in some very nice late day light. The colorful reflection in the water is from Bald Cypress trees as they go dormant for the winter. Love that it is duck season in Florida.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

“but you commented earlier about a naked bike ride in portland” would be a legitimate follow up for any reporters in the room w johnson when he says he didnt see the important story youre asking him about
Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?
JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

Have seen a couple of Prothonotary Warblers (Protonotaria citrea) like this one in the yard lately. They are earlier fall migrants. Looking forward to seeing more birds come through soon.

This is so great. I got very involved in writing the real story of Katrina in the aftermath, knew how almost every agency of government failed, how the elites and media spread lies that demonized the victims, know that we must do better.....
Today, courageous FEMA staff members sent the Katrina Declaration to the FEMA "leadership" and others.

This little owl and I surprised each other when I opened the blinds to the front porch early Wednesday. He had been there overnight, and flushed to a SImpson's Stopper (Myrcianthes fragrans) nearby.
