Pretty sky tonight. I would go on the roof for a better view but it’s a bit chilly, and icy! #Queens #sunset

Maybe I’ll wait until next weekend to attempt a short nature walk again…stay warm everyone! #NYC

There were a few mourning doves sitting on the fire escape so I put some seed out for them and then…I don’t know where they all came from! #queens #NYC #backyardbirds

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

One pigeon was huddled on my window so I gave it a little seed (I had to bring my feeder in due to the wind /snow), it quickly brought some friends! #nyc #snowstorm

🧊 needs to be dismantled now. This is horrific. Fascism is here and it will only escalate.
🚨Reports incoming that federal agents have shot and killed another person near Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis. Multiple shots fired. “It was an execution,” witness tells us.

No birding for a bit. I have been dealing with a lengthy asthma flare due to RSV. I have a plan and a pulmonologist but it will take time to recover. So for now I’m hoping to hunker down, watch the snow tomorrow and bake. #Asthma #Snow 🧁🎂🍰❄️☃️

Yes.
The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens.

Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out.

Remember this.

Yes.
If we had reason to be outraged before by the murder of Renee Nicole Good, video showing the deadly ICE agent spewed "f**king bitch" after shooting her makes even more clear this man belongs in jail--& this masked & armed police state must come to an end. The Trump regime defending this is criminal.

Law and Order + SVU crossover time! I’m glad my shows are back (and I have the Pitt). I have needed an escape as of late… #SVU #LawandOrder

After the horrible news events of the day this PBS Nature episode on a hummingbird rehabber is just what I needed. It has been on before but I haven’t seen it. #NaturePBS

In addition to viewing hundreds of Brant, we watched this Cooper’s Hawk chow down on a rock dove (I think), and saw a Great Blue Heron fly over the Saltmarsh, at Randall’s Island this morning. #birds #birding #nyc

Yep.
It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
