Seeing one of these amazing birds is very high on my bucket list.
There are only 244 alive now, and thanks to the heroic efforts of people like @digs.bsky.social they have the best chance to remain with us. #kakapo #birds #GoodSouls

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is from @alan678.bsky.social and the theme is #AlansNemesis. Not to taunt Alan, but here's the elusive Green-and-rufous Kingfisher from Caño Negro Wetlands in #CostaRica

These are very shy kingfishers and it took me many years to get a photo of one.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Gorgeous shot, Jocelyn!
A close-up of a Tufted Titmouse with his/her tuft blowing in the wind. I love their black eyelashes. The thin black feathers around the break are rictal bristles, which are common in many birds but their size and placement differs between species.

This young male Resplendent Quetzal was much braver than his dad and spent more time in the open looking for avocados. His mom and sister were even more so, as they would bask in the dawn sun at the top of the tree, warming after the cold nights in the Talamancas.

This.
We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.

All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

So, he lied, they lied, again.
I would wager a sizable bet that what he had done was an MRI of the head and we all know we'll never see that report.
Based on his everyday behavior we probably already know.
Gupta: These are the most credentialed radiologists in the country. No one is aware of any type of screening guideline that says as you age you should get an MRI of the heart and abdomen.

Gustavo Petro isn't going to take Trump's bs.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “Do not threaten our sovereignty, because you will awaken the Jaguar.

“Attacking our sovereignty is declaring war. Do not damage two centuries of diplomatic relations.”

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!”

“I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

The FDA vaccine head, like his boss, always overstates the risks of vaccines or issues provocative headlines without providing actual evidence.

They did the same thing again over the weekend.

As someone who get scans every three months, this 'letter' is a slanted summary of the actual report.
Release the report not performative bullshit.

“in my case, that meant singing like a horn player. I’d always been a John Coltrane fan—he was from Philly; you know, and he told me once he wanted to be a singer and that’s why he played the way he did. Well, I sang the way he blew."

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.
