would anyone like my recommendations of gay romance books i really liked. i have a bunch up my sleeve now, they are pretty much all fairly raunchy historical fiction

The squirrels are so active right now that they are bumping all the cameras. This camera goes to my protected birdbath and it got knocked off. I always like to see if it caught anything and this time it got a golden crowned sparrow. It’s mostly cut off, a head shot…it’s forging on the ground. #Birds

A bird with iridescent blue on the head and face, iridescent green on the body and wing coverts, fluffy white feathers on the legs, and dark brown wings and tail. It is perched on a branch and facing left.

Puffleg seems to be a good name for a sparkle-bird with floofy white leggings. Lots of tropical birds are under-studied and this is one of them. They are common where found, but have unexplained breaks in their range.
