Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #singing. Here’s a lovely Eastern Bluebird. I can’t remember what song it was. Might have been Wonderwall. 🪶

Ahem @wiscobirder.bsky.social why you not warn us how 🥹 we’d feel holding one of these? Even in the middle of a heat wave this brings me joy. Because of yall? I’ve been spreading the bird joy at my healthcare jobby job. Had a patient come back today and tell me they saw a yellow warbler. #birdjoy

Found a new to me bookstore today up in Greenfield, MA —Roundabout Books and it’s so lovely. Lots of space to sit, study and gather and the tidiest collections of new, used and vintage. Plus a tea selection!

A large wood dining table in the foreground and three tall bookshelves in the background help show how spacious and airy this old factory space is.

A new safety alert bill has been endorsed by the New Mexico State Legislature. Dubbed the Turquoise Alert system, the initiative would send cellphone alerts to citizens in New Mexico in relation to the disappearance of Native American people.

Ah, @andrealrogers.bsky.social you would have been smitten to eavesdrop on our tiny little book club. We had so many thoughts and reflections on The Art Thieves, what came to the fore though was how much our relationships matter. Woliwon/Wado for this beautiful book!

I have two weeks to plot and scheme for @andrealrogers.bsky.social to participate in our indigenous fam book club a) because we’re small and mighty b) because we’re reading The Art Thieves this month and c) my sis (older I might add) doubted the author and I were social media “friends” 😂😂

I found a new to me used bookstore across from the new BBQ place I tried with my son and did I yelp when I found this beautiful book of @wildandincolor.bsky.social on the shelf? You know it. Did I then go stand out in the cold and wind to look at weird ducks at the State park? Also did. #birdjoy

Wide view of a marsh, grasses mostly yellowed and brown. A few small ducks in the distance.

“So then he said—- Omg, he’s right behind me, isn’t he?” #EasternBluebird #birds 🪶🦉

A female Eastern Bluebird stands at the front of a feeder, her eyes wide, looking like she’s just been caught talking trash about the male Bluebird who is standing behind her, out of her line of vision, with a grumpy expression.
