A marsh wren for #birdoftheday. It is not quite a bush, but fitting for its environment

Another thing MAGA doesn’t understand, the Nobel prize is not something to be campaigned for, it is something earned by action. If rump wants the prize, he should work on earning it, not demanding it. A start would be to stop using the US military on US citizens on US soil.

I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.

I spent some time with the young Agami Herons yesterday at Agami Island #costarica

So many youngsters are still around the colony, busy fishing in the canals. The adults are long gone now and the kids are own their own.

I’m more curious about ‘Measles’ will the crazy right be infecting their fans? Or is this some bizarre attempt to parody an early iteration of Joe Walsh?

A priceless gift from the universe 🙏Alan H for being there to capture the moment and share.

Last one from me.

My lens directed as these two souls of sky and shore entwined,
and in this moment, pure, aligned.

A white gull with wings spread wide flies gracefully beside a tall grey heron standing on bright green grass near the edge of a pond. Behind them, the water glows with golden reflections of autumn foliage, creating a warm, tranquil backdrop of reeds and shimmering colour.

Nobel Committee could always use the fact that rump is using ICE & National Guard troops against US cities & citizens & his hateful diatribes as absolutely disqualifying for the Nobel Peace Prize & if he wants future consideration he needs to clean up his fascist behavior at home. Just saying….

You know the old saying: small hands; small chance of a Nobel Prize. Or something like that.

It’s the little things…!💕🙏Nobel committee!!!

I hope there is a way to sue the administration that stokes such hatred that something like this happens. They should be made to pay for their un-American actions‼️🤬

Worth noting that Bad Bunny has more followers, by a few million, than rump got votes. Just in case you’re wanting to make this about popularity.

In these crazy times it’s really helpful to get reminders that you are NOT crazy for thinking our world has gone mad

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”
berkshirebetsy.bsky.social
Yay general!!! That’s the way to put things in perspective!!!!!

The Oregon National Guard general says if they were to be deployed, they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters and not ICE

We need this kind of unsparing ‘truth to power’ dominating the airways so that no one can ignore it or unhear it or unsee it! 🔥

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Mike Johnson only wants Lee Greenwood to perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl because Lawrence Welk is dead and therefore unavailable.

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.
berkshirebetsy.bsky.social
Yes this is a precise example of rump logic, which as usual makes no sense at all.

For some reason BlueSky is awash with fabulous shots of herons today. Must be something in the water….💙💙💙
