This is a fun film about two brothers who stumble into doing a lower 48 big birding year as a way to figure out birding subculture - my nephew's in it as one of the birders they encounter along the way (he and a friend take them owling and dip on the Three-toed) :-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl-w...

Tried to get a four goat selfie yesterday but was unsuccessful. Best I got was this twofer, which required some editing. Captured Snowdrift's resting murder face. Snowflake looking innocent as usual, although she immediately began bashing me after the photoshoot.

Poster with two Nigerian Dwarf goats, one of whom looks relatively happy, one of whom looks like she is contemplating murder.

Normal goats: Spring! It's fake PNW spring, sunny and warm, we will frolic and jump! Libby: If you don't let me in this MotherF***ing Barn, I will not be held responsible for my actions! #GoatSky #SmallFarmLife

Goats greeting the unexpectedly aggressive snow this morning with skepticism. In fact, why are there only three goats in this photo? Wait.....

Three Nigerian dwarf goats stand under a porch roof looking out at the snow unenthusiastically.

The goats are enjoying the sunshine! And Grizzy (full name: Tanngrisnir) decides to come in for his close up (really he's angling for another cookie). #SmallFarmLife #GoatSky

Please, please can I go into the barn and eat the inside hay right from the bale and tromp around and try to eat things I'm not allowed to / would kill me? Please? I looooove the barn!!! #GoatSky #SmallFarmLife

Goat thanksgiving involved a fresh hay bale in the feeder (winter hay bales last about 3 weeks) and cookies (which they get every morning because they are spoiled spoiled goats). 🐐⛅ #goatsky

Please share if you feel like you can - Cascadia does tons of cool research and makes me want to go back to graduate school!

Some totally cool options in the auction supporting Cascadia Research Collective (cascadiaresearch.org). For instance, not to brag, but I was just out birding with "Washington State Big Year record holder Liam Hutcheson" and now you can bid on the same opportunity! givebutter.com/c/Q6Feaa/auc...

After recently being described as "comically wide" and going 10 days past her due date, requiring induction from the vet, Libby gave birth to two boys! Very cute! We really thought she'd have four again this year but she apparently decided that was too much work. #GoatSky

The new Grace Petrie album is a banger! The goats love it. :-) gracepetrie.bandcamp.com/track/the-be... If you're into it, buy and download by Friday so we can get her higher up on the charts!

I cannot provide the apparently traditional #proofOfCat for BlueSky. I can provide #proofOfGoat. I hope this will prove acceptable to the powers that be.

Wild mountain goat we met on the trail in the Enchantments this July. His mamma is just out of frame and he followed her off into the brush shortly after. 🐐🌤️

Best thing at the Washington State fair was young cows getting their apparently daily bath! They had more beauty products than I do.
