Damn you, woman! 😆

We have a ridiculous country in that respect (among others).

A group of turkey vultures wade in a pool atop Taughannock Falls, the longes single-drop waterfall east of the Mississippi. ©John Kaprielian Brief Respite Turkey vultures black with glistening fleshy heads frolic in the pool at the top of the cascading waterfall playing like children in a puddle. It feels odd, like the shock of seeing your teacher in the market for the first time: out of place, out of character, disorienting. The birds splash and wade, wash the rot off their feathers, find solace with others of their kind forgetting for a time their morbid but vital role. Falling water resounds against stony gorge walls as one by one they spread their wings, drop off the cliff and soar, seeking those who have already met their fate.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ComeEatWithMe. Here's one I didn't realize until I looked at the photos - this red-winged blackbird has a dragonfly in its beak, that it just caught! Putnam County, NY, June. #Birds #birdwatching

Ugh, I've had that happen too. I always feel like I have been taken advantage of; they know they have you over a barrel and you obviously don't want your car to be unsafe but...

Amazing shot!

I know! It autocorrects normal, correctly spelled words for no apparent reason, and ignores obvious errors.

Oh no! That's horrible!

Delightful! We had a cute medium-sized garter snake Thursday who posed for some photos!

I swear that was döner when I hit send! I even used the special character keyboard!

And get rid of veto power.

Shameful, as usual.

Get them that pulse cannon!

Diner, definitely.

Feel free to sue.

Awesome!

The Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Finches, and we have been blessed with an abundance of purple finches this year, more than I can ever remember seeing. Here is one of them in all its strawberry glory! #Birds #birdwatching

Pretty sweet looking, too.
