Old school IT engineer, weather gazer, Padres sufferer. RIP Heidi (Oct ‘23) & Wolfgang (Jan ‘24). I talk about CHF & Parkinsons cause I have them. USAF vet.

Northern Lights from Ojo Encino, NM (as far south as Los Alamos). Was even somewhat visible with the naked eye.

Today’s New Mexico blue sky. The sheep flock I’m watching is barely visible in the center, they’re trying to sneak past me up the arroyo. A touch windy but not half bad for November.

Well, not today. Yesterday. 😀

Happy Saturday from the baby Rez turkeys! Not quite 4 months old but growing like weeds. Mrs Turkey on the left, Mr on the right. And they’re safe from Thanksgiving, no worries. They are of the Heritage Standard Bronze variety.

It’s been said that @darthbluesky.bsky.social is a key to our survival (right?) … but not usually in an email. 😄

An immature Cooper’s Hawk bounced off the house (best I can figure) going after a bunch of Rez house sparrows in a small tree near dusk. So while it recovered sitting on the ground, I kept the dogs away. It let me get within a foot, so I got some nice cell phone pics & video.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?

I got a bad feeling about this … as a veteran of major IT projects …

Unhappy baby turkey would like to talk to the warden. Specifically, about the long time between mealworm servings.

You can choose to be happy go lucky like Smokey, or do a Tuesday tongue out like Meko below him.

All them red & green tumbleweeds are suffering. Oh darn. The deep green SOBs are doing better, unfortunately.

They resemble a small turkey, and work way better on the Rez than in ABQ. They can be vocal for example. We have one that looks like this:

Picked up 5 baby guineas yesterday, known as keets. They’ll join the two 8-yo adult guineas we have now. Run around, eat bugs, chew weeds, scream at visitors & ravens. None were good enough to look at the camera. Cute as babies but ugly as adults.

Looks like a joke response to a thread. Everything else about the account is very normal.

What a cute lil ol’ rear wiper. Wonder if it makes “wheeee” sounds when you use it.

Jesus Christ careful, you’ll put an eye out doing it like that!

My Basic training instructor, long since retired of course, probably had words for this. Inventive, sharp, words my mother would disapprove of. Wish I could hear him again.
