I didn't realize how small Snowcap hummingbirds were until I got this "life size" hummingbird photography book. That's my thumb for reference.

I just told my in laws about Major General Dan Sickles, who was a notorious rogue and all around egotistical weirdo.
They weren't impressed.

So here's another cool monument that just went up in Charlottesville. I did a lot of research on him in my old job and argued he deserved a statue.

It's so cold out this is the first time I have seen the pond frozen. While the geese don't mind, the ducks are all huddled in a small spot of open water.

Absolutely incredible photo of what I like to call a Technicolor Roadrunner, aka Rufous vented Ground Cuckoo.
It's definitely one of the top birds Id love to see one day.
I don't think the photographer is on BS sadly.
