I'll vote Vernor's, inexplicably also available in parts of the North Bay in California.

Tricolor Springer?

Woodpeckers in general. Shit, real BIRDS in general. A Gadwall smokes anything AI can bring. The subtlety of a Vesper Sparrow.

Surely the Hickoids worked on this equation.

Imagine making AI bird slop when hummingbirds already exist.

Thank you.

Thanks!

A mostly light-brown hummingbird perches at a lean outward from a flower stem. The hummingbird's breast and throat are speckled with green, iridescent in areas where the light hits it just right; it has a dark-brown stripe through its eye and a green cap. The plant has small purple flowers.

Thanks! We got to watch it eat the snake for about 10 minutes, and I suspect the six birders in the truck probably took 4000 pictures.

Forgot the #BirdOfTheDay tag!

D'oh, forgot the #BirdOfTheDay tag!

A brown-and-white falcon with a black "mask" has one end of a small snake in its bill and the other in a claw as it perches on a U-shaped vine. The snake is red with thin yellow and broader black bands.

Whoa!

I just cannot grow a good beard - I'm innocent!

Perhaps this is in response to BYD's newest battery and charger technology, which if true does away with most of the current limitations of EVs. 500-mile range from a passenger car, 5-minute charge time, and less affected by low temperatures leaves weight and fire as the remaining problems.

If they sold them here they could change it to Buy Your Donuts.

A pair of birds pass a plum-like piece of fruit between them, held in their large, multicolored bills. They have gray breasts, brown wings, black napes, bright red at their tail tips and the ends of the top halves of bills, and yellow and black stripes on their bills.

A ground bird stands, partially obscured by green foliage. It has a reddish-brown belly and face, light gray bill, black eyes, and dark gray nape and wings.

I would happily attend all five, if I could get this darned time machine to work.

A blue-and-black bird hangs upside-down from a thin branch, next to a piece of banana nailed to a tree.

Deinonychus, because an uncle-by-marriage was a UC Berkeley paleontologist and likely the first t-shirt I ever owned was a UC Berkeley Paleontology Museum t-shirt with an image of same. I will hike 13 miles in hot weather to view dinosaur tracks now. They got me.

Thanks!

I mistyped a kid's SSN four years ago and had the return rejected and spent many hours on the phone with the IRS without figuring ever being told why. I figured it out a year later when we applied for her to get a passport. The amended return took over a year to process.

A small yellow bird with white "spectacles" begins to jump from a branch. It has pinkish-yellow feet, black under the wings and tail, a dark gray bill, and orange eyes.

If I was a big Meta investor I'd really be thrilled that the CEO is fucking around with something they have 60,000 people to do.

A duck in various shades of gray-brown swims in calm water, reflecting the blue sky an the duck herself. Her head has a large crest in reddish brown, and she has a thin orange-yellow bill.

A well-hidden brown bird perched on a curved bare branch. The bird's head is hunched down, its short black bill barely visible.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #JKLMNOP, for which this roosting Dusky Nightjar (Antrostomus saturatus) qualifies nicely. Volcan Turrialba, Cartago, Costa Rica, December 2025.
