A new #birddivination wrote itself in me. They keep astonishing, these strange visitations. This one might be my favorite of all. The original 100 and the story behind them are at almanacofbirds.org. This one is available as a solo print and card at bit.ly/warbler-time

But…but…those aren’t warblers. 😂

It’s a joy to volunteer at bird banding. There’s little bits of magic everywhere.

How do I focus on laundry when the world’s on fire?
Maybe that’s exactly what we do—brush teeth, sip tea, weed the garden.

It says you can’t be messaged but I just want to say I cried like a baby watching Butterfly in the Sky, (while on an airplane😂) realizing my love of storytelling and why I do what I do was a direct result of growing up with Reading Rainbow. 😁💜

I loooove coyotes. Such a resilient species.

I followed so many #scientists and #journalists today! That was my favorite part of the social media site I X-ited. Woohoo!
