Belted Kingfisher at 50 yards. I was able to circle around the lake so that I was 10 yards on its other side. But I could not find it until it flew off right in front of me. Dastardly bird! #birds

Other than the arrival of the Polar Bear, this season was a disappointment. A fitting end for a forgettable season. Go Rays! #Orioles #TampaBayRays

This is Frankie. He is an adopted hound from West Virginia, now living in Baltimore. Today he took a walk in the suburbs, numb to the deer...for the most part. #dogs

The last few nights I accidentally destroyed her web. Last night she redesigned the structure leaving me space to lean over the deck. I'll do my best to remember, Charlotte. Charlotte's Web is my measure of a person's humanity. #spiders #CharlottesWeb #EBWhite

Yesterday, while refilling the feeder, it was apparent some bugs crossed the little-bird-emptied moat and contaminated the nectar. She stopped by this morning, sipped and spat, flew to the door and looked in from several angles. One bug was dead inside. I change it all again and she was pleased.

I grew up waiting for spring so I could catch snakes, frogs, salamanders, crayfish, and turtles. I suppose it only makes sense that now I wait for spring - and now fall - for warblers. Chestnut-sided Warbler with breakfast #birds #warblers

Today, 1979 is one of the Dead's hidden sweet spots. Brent is basically in-residency. The rest of the band tutoring an already highly-talented performer; seat-of-their-pants shamansim leading the way. The Shakedowns (#13) from this era are knee-buckling: #GratefulDead archive.org/details/gd19...

For those unaware, the Spotted Lanternfly is an invasive species that has recently settled in the Eastern United States. They have decimated Trees of Heaven, another invasive species, quite handily. All the same, they are a nuisance, for which there's a homegrown solution: the American Robin #birds

Great Blue Heron, likely fooling Merlin into believing it was hearing a Yellow-crowned Night Heron. That old Merlin, pranking like that. Of course it might have been the Green Heron's fault. #birds
