...and that's why I named my dove Ripley.

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.
A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

Remember Freshie? She's into stuff.

Freshie the punk merganser on her nest, surrounded by some "horror" stuff: huge collection of decoy ducks (some with creepy paint jobs or little horror slogans), a duck caller, a shirt that says "pluck me like it's feast of Stephen," fishing lure piercings in her webbed feet, and sitting on an egg with a painted Pennywise face on it.

It's cute that the The Bunnies & Burrows TTRPG rulebook lists birdwatchers in the bestiary. Wait, why do they have hit points?!?

Spotted this striking male Red-breasted Merganser at the Gull Frolic last week. Such a cool duck and a winter staple near open water, though it's heartbreaking that bird flu is impacting these beautiful birds. #WiscoBirder 📷👐🏾🖤
A male Red-breasted Merganser (Mergus serrator) swimming in choppy water. The bird has a distinctive spiky black crest, a slender red-orange bill, and striking black-and-white plumage. Its red eye and rusty-colored breast contrast against the cool-toned water.
