Today’s #BirdoftheDay theme is #Perched, which describes this Loggerhead Shrike (a/k/a “Butcherbird”) at his day job enforcing the rules at a national cemetery. Hey, even #Birds gotta hustle in this economy!

Hiked up a couple of mountains this week. Still early for a dramatic color change, but still cool for this tropical flatlander from Florida.

This is probably cheating, but today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #BestBeak, and this is a high-end professional beak model I worked with in S. Florida. Their rate is high, but you get to work with a consummate professional who knows their best side. 😎 #Birds Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Florida.

This gravestone moved me to posting this image. I'm visiting New England, and wandered a cemetery with graves as far back as 1721. This stone is for Nancy Toney, a slave who died in 1857 at age 82. See ALT for my thoughts.
I couldn't help but note that the names of her original and final owners were listed on the stone; the latter taking credit for it, and explaining why she received one at all.  I doubt she is actually interred here among whites, but maybe I'm wrong.  Ms. Toney's marker reminds me, as it should us all, that this country and much of its generational wealth was built on the backs of humans owned as chattel, not compensated for their labor, and denied any shred of human dignity.  We are at a crossroads not unlike that of the mid-1800s, where we must decide who we wish to be.  Do we fight the crimes and injustices we see before us, or do we default to inaction and comfort, allowing them to fester?

Rest in Peace Nancy Toney; I'm sorry I only know your slave name.  I hope someday soon this country becomes what its documents say it is, and that your descendants and mine can be proud of it.

Today’s #BirdoftheDay theme is #Seabirds, and the alt is #Flying, so this #Osprey kinda fits both categories. We’ve had a nest in our yard for about 30 years, so I’ve had the pleasure of watching many generations fledge, fish, fly and nest. #Birds

Today’s #BirdoftheDay theme is #Borbs; little birds looking round and plump. I have no idea what these two #LoggerheadShrike are doing, but it’s kinda adorable considering that they’re known as the “butcher bird” for how they deal with their prey. Southern Florida. #Birds

Today’s #BirdoftheDay theme is #Corvids, which includes this endangered #FloridaScrubJay. I tell people they look like Blue Jays that have done hard time on a prison road crew! He goes clubbing a lot, and never takes off the wrist bands. Party on, Scrub Jay! #Birds

Thanks. I staked him out for quite a while, on two occasions, so I can confirm that he eventually sucked it up and went to work catching food. Seems to have a pretty good attitude about it (post-coffee)!
