Over the last week the male Red-winged Blackbirds have begun to return to Michigan to claim their breeding grounds, even though the weather is still wintry. This male is calling to let others know this is his territory.

This Northern Flicker was following a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers around. When one of the Pileated Woodpeckers would leave the hole of an excavation site, the Flicker would check out the tree cavity and see if there were any ants left to lap up.

A Dark-eyed Junco (slate-colored subspecies) on a snowy day. The amount of brown points to this bird being a female hatch-year bird. I wonder what she thinks of her first winter?

Screaming crying throwing up etc.
A magic the gathering card called Chomping Changeling, a 1/2 shapeshifter for 2 generic mana and 1 green mana with Changeling and "when this creature enters, destroy up to one target artifact ir enchantment" 

The art is a little creature who has chomped a sword and has it stuck sideways in his throat. He's adorable and I love him

Nothing prepares you for how rapidly you accelerate between these three states #chemchat
Screenshot of a tweet from @MichaelCarusi
The three stages of career development: 
1. I can't wait until I'm important enough to be included in meetings. 
2. I feel so important being in these meetings! 
3. I will do anything legal and several illegal things to avoid these meetings.
