I enjoy science, photography, historical documentaries, symphonies, and philosophy. At times when it comes to music, I can be a real rocker. I abhor politics, political discussions and view points. Don't like sports either, well maybe baseball.
It likes you ❤️ I read somewhere, where Crows started leaving a lady expensive jewelry because she fed them. They are among the few birds that know how to use tools and they will remember you.

Snowing in southern Western North Carolina too. What are those things, they look awfully cold, poor things. 🥶

Where I was born and raised in East Tennessee, we called that poor up-bringing. 😅

Yellow-rumped warbler, a female but I can't be sure. My reference Birds of the Carolinas Field Guide. The male has a yellow patch on its forehead the female a yellow patch on her breast.

I have read that a Red Cardinal is the soul of a departed but visiting loved one. If that is true, then sometimes there are a lot of dearly departed souls scattered about my lawn and peeping in my windows. 😄

For some reason, he reminds me of Billy Idol?🤔

I like that second shot. Notice that most all predatory birds have that sort of "hooked." bill. 🤔 We didn't get much snow or ice here in WNC, at least where I am at. I got maybe less than an inch in some places, a dusting in others. 🙄

According to radar, Weatherunderground, it should be there in about an hour, maybe less.

Being a Star Trek fan you would be keen on knowing that when a hatch comes off, e.g. mayflies, the male dies shortly after mating, the female also shortly after laying her fertilized eggs. An example of "altruism." The needs of the many outweigh those of the one. Self sacrifice, altruism. 🙂

That could be the source. Sometimes water and air temperature may differ just enough for a hatch of aquatics. I've seen aquatics in cold mountain streams come off in the winter, which are prime spots if your looking to catch sluggish hungry trout trying to get through winter.

Kind'a chilly for moths, though I could be terribly wrong? Is there a creek or other bodies of freshwater nearby? Could be a hatch of aquatics, e.g. midges, sometimes mayflies if its warm enough. I know there are some hatches during the winter in creeks and rivers.

I thought those things only did stills. That's pretty cool. 😎
