And the Birdlife Bird of the Year winner is…

Tawny Frogmouth

About time in my opinion, although in my portrait of him he looks shocked that she has been chosen… she probably didn’t even write a speech or anything

PSA for IngramSpark authors: My book wasn't listed on Indigo.ca, so I wrote them, and they said, "We are not currently automatically ingesting new title data from Ingram but your title can be added to our site manually by the Master Data team at our Home Office." You must email [email protected].

A Bald Eagle takes off from the Great Blue Heron rookery. Lots of ducks show up around the rookery this time of year, which encourages the Bald Eagles to hang out in the area.

A'ight—I think we have to get the band back together, because this cannot stand. We (politely) mobbed @merriam-webster.com into adding "pube"; surely we can do it again for "dookie."

Screen shot from Merriam-Webster dictionary saying "'dookie.' The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. Click on a spelling suggestion below or try again using the search bar above."

Daily bunny no.3109's seafaring days are behind him

A bunny, dressed like a sea captain, smokes a pipe as he sits on the roof of his tavern in a town by the sea. The tavern is called "The Birb & Bun", and there are a few seagulls on the roof with him, relaxing. At the entrance to the tavern, younger sailor bunnies are on shore leave.

That was one busy-as-hell Monday (so about the usual). But all is done now and I can relax like my fuchsias. 🌱

Purple and white fuchsias flowers. They look a bit like little fairies.

A couple of nights ago my 19yo cat Freddie Mercury was out all day, wouldn't come in, and I had to go to work at 5pm. I got back at nearly 1am and went looking for him and couldn't find him ANYWHERE...then after 10 minutes he showed up miaowing and I brought him inside and he had a slug on his back.

More writers need to watch all the seasons of HOW IT'S MADE because they for whatever reason have NO idea how the world works, or how things work, or how things work in the world, and then it shows up in their fiction and makes me yell and swear and pace and weep and rend my clothes in despair.
