I’ll be as patient as a gentle stream
And make a pastime of each weary step,
Till the last step have brought me to my love;
And there I’ll rest, as after much turmoil,
A blessed soul doth in Elysium.

I got some great looks today at a juvenile night heron. Not common for our area, so seeing this guy was a real treat.

Lynx just passed away in my brother’s arms. He’s been sick for the last week. First my best friend. Now Lynx. I feel like a boxer that has been hit too many times. I just want to crawl into a hole and never come out.

Bye Kitty. You were a good boy.

Miss you, friend. 😢 But have to say, seeing this made me laugh. 🥲

The rescued & rehabbed baby green heron which was released at our local marsh on Sunday. It seems to have been adopted into the family and is doing well.

I feel safer posting here than Twitter. I really, really miss my best friend of 25 years. Every time I think about him, it feels like being stabbed in the chest. I hope you found peace, my friend. I wish I could have done or said something to convince you to stay longer. I miss you so much.

A newly fledged feed deserves newly fledged birds, right?

(So far, I really like how the ALT text is right up front. It was always a huge pain to add ALT text on Twitter.)
