Is there anything like the hope of a new generation? One beautiful Eastern Bluebird egg. She'll lay one per day until there are five in most cases and then start incubation. #birding #kansascity

Seeing UK college-rock icon Robyn Hitchcock play a solo show this afternoon with about 250 people was fantastic. Having him finish the show with a stroll around the venue in a singalong with the crowd to a Beatles song was a treat. The experience won't soon be forgotten. #music #kansascity

That's great. We had a mom who raised three broods last year. The male was lost early after eggs were laid for the first brood who battled the worst weather, but I made sure she had mealworms, and miraculously all five young fledged successfully.

I've noticed a pair of Eastern Bluebirds checking out the nestbox over the last few days. Yesterday was first time I've seen the female carry any nesting material, so took a quick photo when both birds were away. Curious on progress I checked again this afternoon. Busy bird! #birding #kansascity

Yellow Grosbeak found yesterday in Arkansas, making it possibly the easternmost occurrence of the species. This is the normal range map. What in the world?! #birding

My Kansas City home received about 10.6" (27cm) of snow yesterday. In the midst of our blizzard, this beautiful Cooper's Hawk spotted by. #birding

Remembering the brilliant Benjamin Curtis today. Can't believe it's been 11 years since T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma robbed us.

Needed energy to get Monday going! Early Swervedriver had some of the most melodic, muscular guitars going at the time.

Found this old signed Sugarcubes photo in a box while looking for something else. The old radio days...

@highspire.bsky.social I'm so excited you're here and new music is coming! You were my top artist of my Spotify wrapped in 2019.

Still puzzling over my Spotify Wrapped. I wouldn't have expected Ned's Atomic Dustbin to be my top artist. Maybe The Church or School of Seven Bells, but not NAD. I'm guessing 1992 Steve would've approved.

Generally overlooked band from Canada that I always enjoyed. Even though it's old, one of my favorite colored vinyl pieces as well.

A very full Eastern Bluebird nestbox with five nestlings from April 2024. All five fledged successfully even though the male (who often does a lot of feeding) was lost early after the eggs were laid. Posted so I can be added to the Bluesky bird feed. #addBirder
