Pedestrian birder in Chicago. Click on #birds tag to see just my bird photos without the whinging. I'm also sharing bird links using the #BirdLinks tag. I'm embarrassed by my typos but usually not enough to delete them. Gear: OM1 & OM 150-400 & 100-400
I love the way Republicans all just accidentally casually mention they have nannies to raise their children while decrying the nanny state.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

How did Mike Johnson learn these things? Who let these realities intrude on his mind? Was his son busy? His staffers asleep on the job? He is supposed to be the tabula rasa bubble boy republican for reasons of political deniability! Him knowing anything at all undermines his public relations schtick

It's not going to work. Too easy to fake photos these days. Every single ticket that is challenged will get thrown out because the city won't have the ability to verify any of them.
There will probably be a very quick spam attack on this that will cause it to shut down.

Persistence is the key. You don't really need to be daily about it. If you want to be fancy try conditioning them by blowing a whistle in a distinctive pattern before each time you feed them. With time maybe you'll be able to call them to you. You can even buy crow call whistles online.

yell at you and guilt trip you if you let them down by running out of nuts. It is also important to pick a spot where you will regularly feed them, preferably where you are not birding for other birds, because crows are nest predators and hawk and owl harassers.

Peanuts in the shell work better. Also walnuts. I think they prefer larger things for picking up and stashing if they are already full. I've noticed they don't like the red skins on peanuts and will eat the naked ones first. Be aware that crow friending is a long term commitment and they will

Been doing a steady binge watch of the 10 seasons of the murder mystery cop drama Shetland on Britbox and dammed if the show isn't inadvertently the best example of why you should never ever speak to cops. They careen around accusing everyone, violating their privacy, trashing their reputations and

I'm almost 59 & finally financially secure & able to do whatever I want. Also I can't stay up past 8pm, I can't sleep past 5am, I can't eat anything spicy for dinner, I can't have caffeine after lunch, I can't eat potato chips, I travel poorly & need about 36 hrs to recover from a social encounter.

Nite Ize are solid. I'll actually use the one in this photo. They have good spring tension and most importantly a locking mechanism. You can get them in all kinds of sizes and formats (Some even have fire starting spark wheels or cams!)

Carabiners and Keyrings.
