the blackburnian warbler, despite being named after a person, has a truly befitting name. i look at this creature and think to myself "yeah, they got that one right." truly a perfect specimen 🪶

a true american patriot selflessly performing civilian law enforcement while lafayette's WOKE police (who let a man that pulled a gun on protestors walk free) are too LIBERAL and VAXXED to patrol our lawless park bike paths. god bless white-crowned sparrows

it's such a cruel joke that the comically abundant Snow and Canada Goose have smaller, evil doppelganger species that mix together in flocks. i spent too much time this morning staring at a lone Snow Goose trying to decide on if it was a Ross's or not. did not help that it was immature.
