Snow covering trees and bushes.

So this big snowstorm is Biden’s fault, right?

With beak open, a ruby-crowned kinglet perches on a tree branch. The bird is mostly green, with a light yellow breast.

Wow. USA gold! Condolences to my Canadian friends.

Same here. Kuip, too.

Yes. 😔

I second the notion.

My goodness, it’s so good to hear baseball on the radio again — especially with a big snowstorm bearing down on us. ⚾️ #RingTheBell

Yes! The bird brightened the day. 😊

A Long-tailed Tit perched on a thin branch, seen from the side, with its long tail hanging straight down against a soft, blurred background. 細い枝にとまるシマエナガを横から捉えた写真。長い尾羽がまっすぐ下に伸び、背景は柔らかくぼけている。

Seeing it like this, you really get a sense of just how long that tail is — the name Long-tailed is no exaggeration! Though, yes… the belly is still perfectly round 🤣 🪶
またかと思われるかもしれませんが #エナガ曜日 ということでお許しください🙇

My hometown in the news again, for a wonderful reason. But I am puzzled by the reference to Cleveland Heights having been a "rural farm town" at one point. I never heard that in all my born days. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/u...

Drake mallard standing on snow, his green head and orange feet offering contrast.

Dig a duck a day, to borrow a phrase from my Pacific Northwest years. This drake mallard was near the Carnegie Lake dam this afternoon. #Birds

Trump repeals landmark legal policy underpinning key climate rules The Environmental Protection Agency finishes the repeal of the “endangerment finding,” a landmark legal opinion underpinning policies regulating climate change.

Sonny Jurgensen, one of Washington’s greatest football players, dies at 91 In a Hall of Fame career, the Redskins quarterback was known as one the NFL’s best pure passers. He later spent years as a broadcaster.

RIP Sonny, an all-time great whom I got to see play in Cleveland during his heyday. Post story includes this great quote from him regarding his trade from the Eagles to the 'Skins: “When I left Philadelphia, all the bartenders wore black armbands.”

It’s a great ballpark in a wonderful city. Enjoy it!
