Thanksgiving Dinner 2025

I have just one family member that is 700 miles away and no close friends, so it’s Whataburger and birding.

Went east Kansas City, north of Holden, and positioned myself looking northeast, was not disappointed! First time I’ve seen the northern lights in #Missouri in fact, first time I’ve ever seen them! It went from light green on the horizon and moved red in about 15 minutes.

Counted 29 Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) at Sparrowfoot Park in Henry County, #Missouri on 03 Nov 2025. The largest number & latest date this far northwest I’ve ever recorded. The species is definitely expanding its range. Climate change is real, but we can’t talk about it in MO.

Marlins Man looked 10 years older than me during the 2015 World Series, now he looks 10 years younger than me at the 2025 World Series.
