Torn. Snub the MF b/c he doesn’t deserve the time of day vs the deliciousness of Mamdani intellectually ripping him a new one.

Clever bard you.

Brilliant!

Now check out Nanaimo bars!

Bill shape suggests Lesser Kiskadee 😊😊
PS- love your banding pics.

I know. I was curious about the pic (the banding looks like what I’ve seen on recent Iberian birds).I remember seeing them years ago in a flock that probably represented half the wild population at the time.

What’s the context? European reintroduction? Moroccan ? Mid Eastern?

Or if there were fewer humans.

Interesting. First thought was individual on left was a snow bunting, then saw where photographed. This would farther south than expected and way early. The others are immature/winter Indigo buntings.

Yes! Go for the left main. LAD infarcts are too survivable these days.

Sandhill cranes, Canada geese, Cassin’s vireo, western wood peewee, pileated woodpecker, osprey, bald eagle, raven, pine siskins and r. w blackbirds. The world is rich if you take a moment to look and listen. (And this was just as I was having dinner and savouring a glass of Okanagan white.)

For me it was when I hit 0. Can’t remember a day without birding. Presently watching sapsuckers, a hairy, a downy, r.c. kinglets, w. tanager, g.b. heron, r.b. nuthatches, mountain and b.c. chickadees, warbling vireo, song sparrow, robin and a turkey vulture while I can hear in the distance.. 1/2

Came here to say the same 🎯.

Always love a HHGTTG reference!
Keep your towel close and don’t panic!

Thanks. As a west coast Canadian, I haven’t seen her before. So impressive!

Wow! But check out the ASL translator! Absolutely F’ing amazing!
