I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

After adventuring on a swimabout over to Victoria recently, gray whale Little Patch has come back inland! Off Hidden Beach yesterday & heading that way this morn. Orcas in that same general area this morn too.

Pelicans are one of my favourite birds to photograph.
These birds were landing at Bald Hill Beach while bathed in golden dawn light.

Our friend the Hispaniolan Armored Toad was first described in 2018 and is only known from a single location in the Dominican Republic! Their skin is very rough and bumpy, and they have prominent armored ridges on their head, giving them their name! (photo by Judá Isaí Martínez Uribe)

For a timeline cleanse, here's a short video of some of this morning's wonderful wave spritz created by offshore winds during the wave breaks, accentuated by the golden color of the backlit rising sun. Tap and turn horizontal for full size. I hope you are having a great day!

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Octopuses have been wandering in the oceans for 296 million years. They have three hearts and blue blood and they can even be elegant in their magical underwater dance.

Breaking MS NOW:

Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.

Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.
Lawmakers say some Epstein files remain redacted despite DOJ's pledge
Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz told reporters key documents retained redactions despite the DOJ's pledge that members of Congress could view the full files.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #posted a bird on a post or fence. The alt is #red any bird with the colour red. The only Baltimore Oriole I've seen at Toddville, sitting on a vinyl fence post, Spring, 2021.

Congrats to the Seahawks on a huge win.

An extraordinary Super Bowl, delivered at a scale only California can.

From Santa Clara this year to Los Angeles hosting next year, the Golden State keeps setting the standard. No other state comes close!
