Got to talk about the difference between accipiters and buteos to my coworkers so I’d say today is a win

Had to share this unspeakably gorgeous Fairy Slipper on here. What a treat to see.

Rolling into my 30s with new binoculars! Surprised to find out that 8x42 worked better for me in terms of eye relief and field of view, but they seriously impressed me on a visit to Garden of the Gods, including spotting a Prairie Falcon high up on the cliff.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

A six panel comic. In panel 1, a yellow warbler says "Hey, so I'm going to go out on a limb here". For the next four panels, it hops down along a branch. In the last panel, at the end of the branch, it sings a little song. I'm sorry.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two menβ€”not in uniformβ€”push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

Senate Dems Show Spine, And National Sports Ban Bill Dies The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster.

Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture.

S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches.

I had so much pride in my city…. But after seeing the protests in Denver yesterday I am so beyond proud of all the people that came out to protest at the capital.

Our community cares.

I strongly believe that if they weren’t so common, birders would flock to see Mallards. You can’t beat those iridescent heads and wings.

Anyway, find some joy in nature if you can. Also protest at your state capitol tomorrow to show our government that none of this is okay with the people.

Aw, this is the first time I’ve seen anyone talk about Raji, shame you didn’t enjoy it. I definitely see your point but the visuals and mythological interest made up for it for me. Enjoyed the combat mechanics too!
