@QasimRashid The RW is like a cornered animal, fighting to not be eaten alive. They will do as much damage as they possibly can, even though they know they are not going to make it.

If both my wife and I were archaeologists who used Carbon 14 decay measures to determine the era in which ancient individuals lived, you bet your ass I’d loudly say “WE DATE OTHER PEOPLE” at parties.

@RamenCatholic I just read both recently. They are both like paintings, comprised mostly of scenery which Mockingbird reluctantly pulls down into a storyline, but Watchman seems happy to just wander the neighborhood looking for daisies and interesting pebbles.

Branch-bound Hunter

Here is a red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus)

"Whether wheeling over a swamp forest or whistling plaintively from a riverine park, a Red-shouldered Hawk is typically a sign of tall woods and water. It’s one of our most distinctively marked common hawks, with barred reddish-peachy underparts and a strongly banded tail. In flight, translucent crescents near the wingtips help to identify the species at a distance. These forest hawks hunt prey ranging from mice to frogs and snakes." - allaboutbirds.org

@GottaLaff
Mark Robinson isn't "MLK times 2", he's Herschel Walker times 2.

@shansterable@c.im @Bellison22 Your math seems flawed. The margin of error (34% vs 83%) would be more like 144%.

Well over Sean O'Brien's "34%"

Good morning. 🕊️🦅☁️

19 September 2024

Good lord, Ben got me up again at 0430 this morning. This is what? the third morning in a row. Unfortunately, I think this is the current trend. He comes to the bedroom door and just starts barking. He likes to sleep under our bed at night, but I recently started making him sleep in his bed in the family room because he was disturbing my wife's sleep during the night. She isn't gifted with bad hearing like me. Hmmm ... for every action there is a reaction.

We are having a pergola build in our back yard, construction starts this morning some time. Last night, I was thinking about the pigeons and whether or not they will defile the pergola. Wait and see.

I'm Just a Lonely Bird

Don't ask me why, but for some reason I like this image. It is mostly a silhouette with a northern cardinal center stage offering a hint of color in a pine tree.

I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut.

@w7voa I am confused. He says that as though it would be a *bad* thing.

@Swede1952 Mom liked to tell the story of the raven on Hurricane Ridge that was faced with the difficult task of trying to carry two graham crackers that we gave it. After much consternation, it managed to get one lengthwise and on crosswise in its beak and flew off to chow down.

@stonekettle@threads.net Why are you being mean to spiders?

@meltedcheese @brianvastag I encountered a very young bird running around on the walkway outside some stores, but there was really nothing I could do for it. Probably ended up as catfood or the like. Nature is what she is.

Democrats don't want Donald Trump dead.

We want him alive, massively shamed by a landslide loss in November, legally tried and imprisoned, and to live long enough to see his wealth and reputation destroyed before dying a natural death.
