Earthquake Geologist in public service. Mostly tweets about earthquake geology and a cat..mostly. The “Earthquake Whisper who bakes bread and rocks out” per BlueskyRoast AI. Maybe a bit more Grateful Dead commentary than on the other site.

Tried taking some photos of hummingbirds at a feeder with marginal results. This is the best I could do with these critters today.

Definitely plenty of rats to eat around here. I think there was some sort of issue with a great horned owl going on.

There is a barn owl (identified by Merlin) screeching on top of an old power pole outside our place. It may be upset at another much larger owl that I saw fly by at the same time.

Uhhhg. My spouse had covid rebound after testing negative. All right before our big trip. It was touch and go about us traveling between positive tests. And me trying to avoid getting sick. It is all very frustrating. Hope it is a quick recovery.
