Thanks!

If you want ducks, I got ducks.

Gotta find someone besides Jeter for this analogy. He has the 6th most hits in history. If that doesn’t make you an all-time great, what does?

That’s so cool! Do Fish Crows often nest in Ohio? I thought that was out of their typical range.

Seems like you’ll just get a lot of 79-space parking lots.

My wife saw a Scarlet Macaw on our honeymoon and I missed it. Still holding a grudge 10 years later.

Here’s the Vermillion Flycatcher I saw at Brown Canyon Ranch, Arizona 🪶

This is just like when that iced tea company juiced their stock by “pivoting to the blockchain” and it turned out to be a pump and dump scheme.

I bet it’s going to inspire me to purchase something slightly more expensive than I was planning on getting otherwise.

This sounds like something that Anton Chigurgh would say.

I’m more of a coffee person, but who am I to disagree with a towhee?

I’ve got seven including my lifer Grace’s Warbler last week in Arizona!

He also campaigned for the neo-Nazis in Germany before they got trounced.

I don’t understand what the angelic Gundam Statue of Liberty in the sky is supposed to symbolize.

I use eBird for my yard list. I mostly add birds to my list via incomplete checklists these days.

First violets of the year! #bronx

What he’s saying is 100% true. This is why New York City has a population of zero.

It’s a little too on-the-nose that these guys are running to represent a place called Low Fell.

I would also accept a Nobel Prize in chemistry and NBA defensive player of the year award.

I didn’t hear any owls during my night hike in Tucson, but I did see some saguaros.

It’s not called train lag.

I got my lifer Buff-breasted Flycatcher in Carr Canyon, Arizona today. I have now seen every Empidonax flycatcher that breeds in the US (thanks to the Pacific Slope/Cordilleran lump). #empidomaxxing 🪶

My wife and I moved to the city with young kids in large part because it’s cheaper than the suburbs. UPK saved us tens of thousands. Only having one car that doesn’t get used every day saves thousands per year. The house cost the same, but the taxes are half of the burbs. What you give up is space.

I bought a humidifier in 2022 for $120. I bought the exact some one last week for $62. It got me wondering how many other things I’m buying that are significantly cheaper than they were a few years ago. I’ll bet almost no one takes stuff like that into account when they think of inflation.

My ancestors came here THE RIGHT WAY! (They just showed up and stole some land from Native Americans).
