The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
***(correct Ojibwe spelling: Gichi-game)
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy...

Here's a Great Blue Heron at the Boulder fairgrounds osprey nest in some serious wind, hanging on for dear life with that big giant foot of his/hers.
It's impressive that Fred/Fredericka is up there. #birds

A Belted Kingfisher hangs out at the osprey nest at the Boulder Fairgrounds. I love these gorgeous, happy little birds. It was a gloriously warm November day. Webcam screengrab. #birds

We've been having very chilly nights and here's Fred/Freida/Frederico on the nest warming up in the sun after a cold night
Did you know? Great Blue Herons are partial migrators here in Colorado. Some will migrate and others will stay.

Sunrise falls upon Freida.
Photons arriving from the Sun, sing out with joy when they find themselves bouncing off a Heron*
(Photons don't really bounce - they excite the Heron atoms causing new Heron Photons to emerge - so the image of Heron you see has a true Heron Essence #HeronPhysics)

We've had some nice sun-rises (and -sets). Here are a couple Great Blue Heron shots for @everyheron.bsky.social #birds

My local Wild Turkeys couple is back from wherever they go in the summer months... a week or so ago they just showed up again, hanging around an intersection (that is often fairly busy). Here they are walking up to my car. #birds

Male Red-Winged Blackbird at the Boulder Fairgrounds osprey nest.
The osprey have all migrated south. Now the nest belongs to the other birds who will play around with it until next March. Before then someone from the County will go up and do some cleaning. Webcam screengrab. #birds

President Macron:
The Russian aggression is not a problem of Europe but rather a problem which plagues us all. It's our problem.
It poses the eternal question of the force of law against "might is right", freedom against imperialism.
