Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth. The themes this month often led me to share things from the archives, but today's selections were some that I shared for the first time this month. #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #photography #arizona #southcarolina

Here in AZ, the president is so unpopular that simply putting a candidate's name next to his is an effective negative campaign ad. I'm sure the president's assault on mail-in voting will go over well here where more than 80% of Republicans and Democrats vote by mail and have done so for decades.
