Sharpie was interested in the chickadee party in my neighbor's yard. While the view is terrible, I saw the hood of the sharp-shinned and was surprised at how small it was. Good #bird day!

One is a Eurasian wigeon with a reddish brown head and a slight white stripe between his eyes. The other is an American wigeon with a brighter white stripe between the eyes, a green band behind the eyes, and gray below.
Found a new lifer for me! I love this photo of the Eurasian and American wigeons side by side. (Forgive the potato quality)

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms wonβt take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.
Big mistake. Huge.
In 1969, newly elected president Richard Nixon resolved to defund PBS and use the money to wage war in Vietnam.
Fred Rogers was summoned to testify before Congress, and what he said that day changed the course of history.
