I hope most people are aware that residential pest control is 90% scam, and the ones that do subscription treatment services are 100% a scam.

They have no incentive to actually solve whatever pest problem you think you have. They'd rather show up biweekly, spray blindly, and collect your money.

Soaking in the last of our little Juncos in NY. Love when they show their cheerleader pleats!

SHUT UP EVERYONE THE JUNCOS ARE BACK!! Two dark-eyed juncos are presently living it up in the tiny patch of exposed slop of my backyard. #birds
A perky dark-eyed junco stands atop a pile of clean snow in my backyard. The bird is looking at the camera, head-on, neck stretched and alert.

We weren’t meant to thrive in a fast paced work environment we were meant to collect berries in the summertime and lie down for a whole day after mistaking the bad orange mushroom for the good orange mushroom

Caught this Fox Sparrow in the yard the other day. A first for the backyard list. #worldsparrowday #birds

Had the most magical time watching tons of wood frogs on the move from one side of the bike path to the boggy other side today. I'm always excited to see one frog, so a couple hundred is even better!

Had this handsome hunter show up to check out our birdfeeders. Leaning toward sharpie, but I never really know 🤷

When you're enjoying the big perennial border at Beacon Hill Park, suddenly get the feeling you're not alone, and turn around.

A Canada Goose stands, bill fully extended to chest height on me, eyes a-bulge and appearing mostly snout due to the foregrounding of the bill in the camera's field of vue. It is clearly expecting food, willingly or unwillingly provided. There is definitely a Jurassic Park velociraptor vibe, the sense that while I'm locking gazes with this one, the other ones are picking my pocket and then waddling off to get french fries and ice cream from the nearby seaside diner.

Sorry we forgot #BitOBird As compensation have this video demonstrating AI failing at bird ID. This bird was identified as a Red-headed Woodpecker. Sorry Bird Buddy! You're still a lot of fun! 🪶
