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!

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

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.

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.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.
