Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

A male pileated woodpecker chipping away at the base of a dead tree in the back of my property. I love the wood chip flying away and how his tongue is probing for insects. #birds

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Short-eared Owl taking a short break from hunting over the marsh at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, DE.

Always give owls space, don't trample sensitive ecosystems to get the shot, and never post nest locations on social media.

Hedgehog numbers have declined by 30% in the last 10 years. Help them by creating ‘hedgehog highways’. Hedgehogs travel up to two miles every night, in search of food & a mate – so holes in the bases of fences & walls give them room to roam!

I finished my third pair of pirate socks of the year. For fun, I worked both the cuffs and toes with the same two colorways in helical knitting. As usual, they turned out better than I thought they would.

It has been exactly four winters since this Brown Creeper spent the winter with us. It would come every night and have a few sunflower seeds spilled by the other birds and then fall asleep in the tree. I would come home at the same time it would come to go to bed. #birds #Colorado
