Super-cute. Do they always walk like that? Thanks for the #Joy!

OK Manu.
Manu Ginobili used to be a big-time favorite basketball star around my house.I left you a little more info on the Great Kiskadees somewhere around this feed. They are really stunning, smart, and are definite "tool-users," using fences and limbs to break or stun things before eating. #birds

These goofy #birds pick up quarter-sized snack cracker in their beaks and throw it up in the air for a better grip. They also bang them on a fence to break them. The first time I noticed one, it had a lizard that it stunned by hitting it on a branch before swallowing it whole! #lizardcatcher ?

G. Kiskadees don't sing, they scream, not super loud but definitely not a song. They make various other vocalizations, more in the category of warnings than songs. They like to hang out with a small group of other G. Kiskadees. They are characters or maybe even clowns-- not very sedate. #birds

Hi Mark. Awesome photo! Good to see the front end ⬇️ but this in-flight view reveals everything, including the glorious rump of yellow! Great work! 🤩 #birds

Hi birdguy. This little guy doesn't really look terribly concerned, more like it's just getting a bit of stretching in. I don't think I've ever seen ANY bird perched exactly so. Really great capture! #birds

Hi Mike. Great photo. Some birds just look SO sweet and this is one of them. Keep on "roaming" and "capturing"--you're doing great! 😊

Hi Dr. Manu! Nice photos! The masked bandit looks like a Great Kiskadee to me! 😊 #birds

Club 3 !!! 🥳🥳🥳

This is my second re-post of game 1579. I'm having trouble remembering the hashtag AND with spelling! Not to mention with stupid poetry. I'm old but I think I finally fixed the post!

Sometimes "hard mode" is much easier than easy!

Hi Katinka! You were FIVEed on 3 and 4. Sometimes #Wordle likes to give you a little hint of what's to come. It's considerate or fiendish that way, depending on how you look at it. Personally, I like to think of it in the positive way. If not, well then it's building good character! Club 5 for you!

Yes,Rob, it's a great way to take the streak-pressure off without feeling like you blew it by not solving the puzzle. This way, you can just chalk it up to a mind otherwise occupied and not to the soul-crushing feeling of failure losing at #Wordle brings! 🤪

Hope to see you back tomorrow in green.

Hi Sherrie. What, exactly, is a "puzzle picker?" Sounds like something that is interfering with your enjoyment of #Wordle, which should be enjoyed, unencumbered from all outside influences. 😊

That said, FIVE is a good number! It is a winning number!

That's a very sad #flowerpicture!
