You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Definitely in good hands.

I hung a rectangle of seeds & mealworms towards the end of the branch to provide another source of food for the birds, but squirrels have figured out that they can eat from it, too, if they hang upside down. :)

The team also found evidence of metabolic cell stress in Yuka's muscle tissue, which seems to support being attacked by large predators, but how Yuka died is still unknown. 🦣

Yuka--named for the people who discovered it from the village of Yukagir--produced the best results. Remarkably, their research contradicts what its physical attributes suggests: male genetics, but possible female morphology.

There were six blue jays outside my window at work at times throughout the day. I couldn't get a picture of all of them (they moved too fast, hopping across the ground, leaping from branch to branch and feeder and then to the ground again). 🪶

First light flurries of the season today (which didn't stick and aren't visible in these shots). ❄️

Great time to get in a bike ride. 💙🚲
