One of my favorite birds! I love their little beep beep sounds! So distinctive.

Their slightly nasal sounding beep beep beeps are one of the best sounds during our long winters.
This Red-breasted Nuthatch pauses briefly in the frosty branches before checking out the pine cone for seeds!

This hits hard. One of those disasters happened in my county. As a member of the SAR team that provided evacuation support and post-flooding drone surveys, I saw firsthand the damage done. And it’s not over. Several log jams on Vallecito Creek are potentially deadly hazards.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

No!!!!
Once the next administration is in place, anything less than a complete reversal of everything this guy has done will be a profound betrayal of the American people. From the WH ballroom to the war on science, reverse it all, no exceptions.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

You probably have no idea what I’m painting here. It looks weird. But eventually, it will be an awesome representation of how we combine telescope data to better understand the universe!

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.
