That seems like the best match to me!

Me: how do the cherubs in fountains have so much pee inside their tiny little bodies

Genie: more of a question than a wish really

It was at McLaren Park, 37.72167° N, 122.41533° W . I’ve been wanting to see one so bad and thought I’d have to travel to find one, it’s unbelievable that one showed up close to my work!

Last week I had the pleasure of seeing the first American Dipper reported in San Francisco in 50 years. Look at this little fella dipping! #birds 🪶

Zohran Mamdani’s Campaign Logo Looked Nothing Like a Campaign Logo The bodega-influenced visual language of an outsider campaign.

loved this article about the beautiful graphic language of mamdani's campaign

25+ million dollars. A former president. Some of the richest people in the US. The entire liberal and conservative political establishment. And Zohran Mamdani — and all the people behind him — beat it all.

LIFER!! There is absolutely nothing that can save you from falling in love with Atlantic puffins. You can only give in and enjoy the ride. Such sweet, unimaginable creatures. #birds #LiferPie

I need you all to see the hype video that this person made to sell their 1994 Geo Metro

Two Mourning Doves who love each other very much

I’m getting married today????

A group of geese walking on the grass in a park. In the midst of the Canada Geese is one Cackling Goose

The Cackling Goose is significantly smaller, and its beak and neck are stubbier in comparison.

This little guy walking with the Canada Geese is a Cackling Goose. Until 20 years ago they were considered the same species, but when you see the two next to each other the differences in size and proportions are significant.

A male Downy Woodpecker in mid air flying towards us with his wings completely folded in to his body. He looks like a small black and white missile!

So yesterday, on a very cold day, I made a comment about his somewhat spherical shape. He chose violence🤣
This male Downy Woodpecker decided that being a missile was the best way to get to the next tree!

From the archives… this MODO is one of several that would frequent the feeder at my old apartment. Over time they became more trusting and wouldn’t mind me moving around just a few feet away from them. I miss them!

The rumors are true! There's a leucistic wood duck near San Diego California and they're a QUEEN! She's riding with mallards, ring ducks, northern shovelers, other wood ducks, and not taking. any. shit!

Gonna be hard to top this bird as my favorite bird of 2025.

More video tomorrow. #Birds

Ah! The noble roundness of the white-throated sparrow on display. Big white front, gray dappling, with a bold white throat. The top of its head features black and gold-white bands. It's back -- or is it its top? Do birds have backs or just tops? -- is soft chestnut brown. The beak is short and sharp. To short to poke out an eye, but perhaps long enough to pluck a beard hair or something. The sparrow is on a snowy evergreen branch, with delicate dots of snow all around it. The bird looks quite deep in thought. Perhaps pondering the troubles of a thankless universe. Perhaps just deciding what the bird will poop on next. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig.

in retrospect I think it may have been a mistake to make the work machine and the procrastination machine be the same machine

Three burrowing owlets standing together. The one on the left is talking to the one in the middle, who is preening. The third one is looking at the camera with his head tilted to the side.

Good morning! 🪶

Speaking of celebrating and acorn woodpeckers… it’s acorn time!

I believe in the US they’re mostly found along the west coast and the gulf coast, but they also live in Central and South America
