Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

We report mid-afternoon, on a hurry between two places. We do not even know whether it is raining or not at this point in time. We look out for the clouds at they pass over our head, but when we think we know their name, the light changes, and they emerge as different creatures.

Here's the sound of a pebble bouncing across a frozen lake at the Wetlands in January.
Sound ON!

Great to see dozens of chonk, large (i.e., old) ochre stars under the Edmonds ferry dock on Friday night’s crazy-low (-3.2’) tide. And saw no obvious signs of sea star wasting disease, a scourge of the sea for the past decade-plus.

The Trump administration released its latest National Security Strategy--and one thing that can be said is that there is no more pretending. It’s a plan to weaken European unity, to make Europe MAGA, to force Europe to take economic dictation by the USA…. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?
That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

While this is one splendiferous borb, I have heard that vertical stripes can be slimming and add height. 🤪

101 yrs ago today, in the NY Times, Edwin Hubble revealed that "spiral nebulae" were in fact distant galaxies separate from the Milky Way – revolutionizing our understanding of the size & scale of the cosmos, an existential reframing of the prevailing view that the Milky Way was the entire universe.
