Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is generously praised by Trump in the Oval Office on the same day Majorie Taylor Greene announces a bizarre resignation from Congress.

One of the weirdest days of this era.

The Bluebirds are back! They were around all summer, but avoided the feeders, preferring to dine on insects. Now that insects are harder to find, they’ve returned, and I couldn’t be happier to see them. Welcome back, my friends! 🥰💙

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #round. This Blue Jay flew in this afternoon and demanded that I submit this picture. (I do not argue with Blue Jays.)

A Blue Jay flies toward a backyard feeder, its wings in downward motion, almost coming together to form a circle. Its little legs are visible in the middle of the circle.

Je suis Carl.

This is Carl. He was just woken up from a nap. Hopes for your sake the house is on fire. 12/10 (IG: grumpus.steve.carl)
a very grumpy little brussels griffon with black and tan fur and big ears is laying in a fluffy dog bed and absolutely scowling at you. his mouth is a downturned arch that would be classified as a rainbow shape in any more positive context, and he’s squinting directly at you, challenging this unnecessary disruption. the green dog bed he’s laying on looks (probably coincidentally?) exactly like the fur of oscar the grouch.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #least, meaning a bird you don’t see very much. It’s always a treat for me to see a #NorthernFlicker. Merlin tells me they’re here far more often than I spot them.
