Doesn’t get any weirder than finding a Yellow-breasted Chat in someone’s back patio condo tree. It then flew down into another tiny condo back patio. Wild place for one of these skulky birds. First Meadow Park record here in SLO County. 🥹🪶🐥

TEN SLEEP by @nicholasbelardes.bsky.social
TEN SLEEP is slow-going horror: less preoccupied with shocking and more intent on drawing you into Greta's mind. Like The Deading, this book clearly sprouted from the author's naturalist roots.

Virg, the tailless Virginia's Warbler takes a bath and gives a tink call before getting in a tussle with a Black Phoebe. I really thought Virg was a goner, but he gave the phoebe the slip and hid in a bush. 🪶
