Throwback to 2022. The good old days, when we didn’t have half our government cow towing to a dictator. A man that keeps hammering away at our democracy. A man that may pardon a child sex trafficker. A man whose morals are non existent. #sapsucker #canon #birder #takemeback

It’s overwhelming, this vile, cruel, undeniably evil regime running the country. I stood and watched this beautiful encounter between these fawns and for a second found my footing again. I’ll take the moments offered up by nature, they are magic. Now to find a magical wand…#nature

For a few short months rufous hummers take their place in our area. Their place seems to be everywhere, however. They display a fierce, aggressive demeanor, making nice with no one. Kindness matters, they just haven’t learned it.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses…” They are arriving, the spring migrants. No administration can wall them out. I, for one, find their diversity beautiful. #chippingsparrow #birds #birdphotography #canon

They are swift, silent fliers, blending with tree trunks imperceptibly. We watched him jet through the forest in pursuit of a squirrel, becoming a 15 minute nature drama. Crows intervened and inevitably saved said squirrel. What a morning, what a show.

Perhaps he should have left the hawkish behaviors to the actual hawks.
These are some crazy, deluded times. Off to stock the shelves of the food bank. Hard working Americans don’t have money for food, but hey, he doesn’t care, I do though, I care.

Crossbills fascinate me. The way their bill (beak) crosses over, how does it even work? But it does, and they survive and thrive. Democrats got our messaging wrong, crossed up, yesterday it was clear. We may look incapable but when knocked down, we get up stronger. Let’s go!

We watched him hopping around looking for food, but he came up with empty talons. It was quite comical to observe. #addbirder #birds #canon #birdphotography

A blue sky, a couple of Western Bluebirds, a crisp morning walk. A sure fire way to start the day off on a good note. It may not feel like it yet, but we will survive this. Mother Nature is a wise woman and she’s bringing her powers of healing. Pay attention. #bluesky #nature

When all else fails to ease an uneasy mind, a walk in the yard surely helps. Nature has a way of reminding us that so much we don’t see, still happens. The cold rains keeping me inside are working miracles underground. My hope is much the same for #democratic officials. Please, work your magic.

LOVE this country and its rules of law, more than you LOVE power, more than you LOVE money, more than you LOVE yourself. All healthy relationships take work and time, don’t continue to tear

After several attempts at trying to get a berry from the bush he succeeded. I watched in fascination as he tried again, again, and again. He never gave up, he was determined and hungry. We can’t give up, this country is too precious. #thrush #birder #canon #holdon #dontgiveup

Spring migration can’t arrive soon enough. The country is veering off the rails and my nerves are frayed. Birding is my solace. #birds #birdphotography #canon #holdon

We only saw this owl perhaps three times in all our early morning walks through the forested areas of the path. We are returning to those paths soon and hope to see one again.

An unlikely pair, but with Anna’s is there such a thing as a likely pairing? I think not.
