Today in History: February 8th

1587: Mary, Queen of Scots, rival of Queen Elizabeth I of England, was beheaded at Fotheringhay Castle, her execution a chilling scene redeemed by the great personal dignity with which she met her fate.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this female peregrine falcon shake

The way she slowly grows in to a falcorb is mesmerizing 🫨

This video is NOT in slow motion!

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!
Bad Bunny wearing tinted dark red glasses with gold frames, hair gelled looking quite handsome! White shirt and tan tie.

Okay, so one of the sports dudes playing tomorrow uses the Merlin app to ID the birds in his yard, so I would like him to win because this is so cute. Also, his team is a bird. www.youtube.com/shorts/7NoPa...

It only took them 12 months to build massive concentration camps all over the USA. You’d think there would be more uproar, but no. No one cares unless it’s in their backyard.

A beautifully carved owl from ancient Egypt. It is the hieroglyph for the letter "M". It is unpainted limestone.

BREAKING: Kid Rock’s “MAGA Fest” just got CANCELLED after nearly ALL acts bailed 😂🎸

Even the lineup said NOPE to the red-hat vibes.

Shinedown, Ludacris, and more walked — turns out unity > division.

Since Valentine's Day is approaching, I'm reposting some of my past Valentine's comics.
A great blue heron is standing in a marsh reading a book. The book says "They lived at opposite ends of the pond. From afar, she admired his long plumes and excellent fishing technique." The heron gets more flustered as she reads: "One day he came flying toward her. Watching him approach, she wondered: What did he want? And was he... carrying something in his beak?" The heron gets even more flustered as she reads: "Her heart skipped a beat as he landed beside her. Fluffing his neck feathers, he said those three special words:" The heron falls backwards in a swoon as she reads, "Here's a stick."

We’ve crossed the halfway mark of our #EasternIndigoSnake survey season and have already captured and collected data on several snakes, helping us monitor population health. This individual was showing off some incredible iridescence!
