Bird photographer hobbyist. Began birding to give my then 13-year-old child and I something in common. Now years later, I'm obsessed, and they could care less. All photos are my own unless otherwise noted. #exPost #exX #Ohio

Also these weren’t boys, they were grown men with jobs and occasionally wives (who also apparently participated in the hateapalooza)

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

There are two areas in opposite areas roughly an hour away that have a conclave of Redheaded woodpeckers. I’m lucky in that regard. Sometimes they stop by my feeder during migration too. But usually I have to travel to see them.

Happy #WoodpeckerWednesday friends... a photo from '23 features a Redheaded Woodpecker's campaign to be the face of the Lake Erie Birding Trail, not the statewide endangered, Black-crowned Night Heron. Either or, works for me. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastin

Center top of frame sits a Redheaded woodpecker, facing forward, only their bright redhead to white mid chest is visible, looking left, upon a trail head marker. Coincidently the trail marker is a sign which features an animated picture of a Black-crowned Night Heron's head facing right with the number 87 included denoting the trail.

So far so good... though, lord, the Brewers need to shake off them Dodgers. Have a nice day!

Not only that, they've spent the most... let's let them see what it's like to lose to small market (small payroll) teams.

Happy Tuesday friends... assembling my photos to create my annual calendar, I came across this Tufted Titmouse from January, taken at Huntington Beach State Park in SC. Northern Ohio Titmice are camera shy. Happy this dude was not. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin

Center frame, facing and looking left, perched on a thin branch of a Live Oak tree, a Tufted Titmouse examines the branch for insects or insect larvae. Captured in Murrell's Inlet, SC, along with the flora of the tree, a nice sky-blue background enhances the bird's features. From Allaboutbirds.org., Tufted Titmice look large among the small birds that come to feeders, an impression that comes from their large head and eye, thick neck, and full bodies. The pointed crest and stout bill help identify titmice even in silhouette. Soft silvery gray above and white below, with a rusty or peach-colored wash down the flanks. A black patch just above the bill makes the bird look snub-nosed.

Happy Tuesday Beth... Maybe we're both wrong and Seattle is the dark horse heading for the show... Toronto lost both games at home--where they had the best home record of the season. So long as LA watches from their couches, I'm cool with either team.

Have a great day!
