Today’s critters are a Red-tailed Hawk and stay to the end for a Black Vulture.

Got my $90 from Trump trying to buy the election. Donated it to the Henderson County Democratic Party. You can too. secure.actblue.com/my-express/e...

I just wish he would come to Kentucky and campaign for Barr and Comer.

Today’s critters are Jumping Gall Wasps infesting a high percentage of my trees in the white oak family including American white oak, swamp white oak, swamp chestnut oak, chinkapin and bur oak. They do not bother the red oaks (northern, southern and cherrybark). I’ve been assured they’ll recover.

Today’s critters are Tree Swallows. Usually it’s barn swallows that congregate when bush hogging the tree planting. But they’ve already gone south and now this flock of tree swallows is taking advantage.

Has he ever spoken to a Democrat? I’m on the local County Committee and I don’t think this shit has ever come up with

Kind of unusual for a Republican to pine for the policies of Jimmy Carter

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

So Grassley is recommending following the lead of Jimmy Carter?

Tonight’s moonset from the front porch. Crops that have matured like the corn across the road are drying down quickly in the hot weather. Which is a good thing unless it gets too dry. And it may be too late for a rain to do much good for late planted soybeans that missed the scattered showers.

A view from a Henderson County KY front porch of the moon setting with a pink horizon. About 50 yards away there’s a mature corn field across the road.

Did agronomy field research in the Midwest and one time complained about deer getting into plots. Colleague from Kenya said you don’t know what animal damage is until elephants get into plots

Could’ve had a TV show if they’d been on a 3 hour tour.

And these clouds were two new red spots toward the ENE an hour and a half later. Cc @pah.nws-bot.us

Looking east at the red spot towards Owensboro.

A storm cloud shows gray at bottom and white at the top over a rural west Kentucky landscape.

Radar shows the cloud about ten miles east.

Here’s another buddy of Matt’s.

Matt Bevin and Robby Mills share an appreciation of each other.

Today’s critter is a Striped Skunk. From Wikipedia it “possesses two highly developed scent glands, each containing about 15 milliliters of musk…The odor of this musk was likened to a mixture of perfume musk, essence of garlic, burning sulfur and sewer gas "magnified a thousand times"

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Today’s critters are Spicebush Swallowtail and Monarch Butterflies enjoying the swamp milkweed in a wet spot amongst the tree planting.

Unfortunately he’s not smiling in that picture.

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Today’s critter might be a Fork-tailed Bush Katydid ie Scudderia furcata. At least that’s what Apple ID thinks and I’m unwilling to get in the weeds on katydid ID’s.

A very good black dog stands by some oregano with a katydid on top.

Tell Trump it’s Canadians and he’ll slow them down.

Came for coneflowers! bsky.app/profile/wayn...

I don’t think they’re smart enough to have planned it.

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I’ll point out that in Robby’s district, the Republican Henderson County Judge Executive and a couple of R magistrates were defeated in the recent primary. Key issue was solar/wind/battery projects. Similarly you can lose many Republican voters with support for data centers.

There’s a NYT Gift Feed on here that’s nothing but links to Times articles. Unfortunately it’s usually dozens of skeets to the same 5 or 6.

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Today’s critters are American Goldfinches harvesting the coneflowers as predicted on July 22. View from inside the house looking pretty much due south.

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Today’s critter is a Spider. Have you ever seen a web built with lightning in the background? This is your chance! Will check back in the morning for hopefully a full view.

Came across the most impressive mushroom fairy rings I’ve ever seen this morning.

Very large white mushrooms form a ring in a yard in rural Henderson County KY.

Mia still likes cucumber picked a little late

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Somebody with two points on a graph claiming “exponential” growth. Also showing more significant digits in a result than is possible to measure. For example a corn yield of 218.56 bu/acre.

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Today’s critter is a male American Goldfinch that wasn’t too bothered by Mia. Did you know that Goldfinches only have one brood/year? And have the latest breeding season in the U.S.? That’s why the boys are bright yellow now.

Today’s critter is 10.25” Kentucky Trophy Bluegill!

I’m in a red shirt holding a large bluegill with Kentucky Lake in the background.

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Today’s critter is a Pipevine Swallowtail, Battus philenor. From Wikipedia “The name Battus comes from the founder of the Greek colony of Cyrenaica, Battus I, and the species name philenor comes from the Greek word meaning 'fond of husband'.” Make of that what you will.

A dark blue butterfly with wings spread. The tail is a lighter iridescent with white spots. The head also has white dots.

A side view shows orange spots on the wing underside and white spots on the body.

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Today’s critter is a Dickcissel. Settle down. Although Peterson’s says it’s fairly common, this is the eastern end of their range and National Geographic calls them scarce here. They like weedy pastures and the planting is good habitat.

A dickcissle is perched on a weed in a field with young oak trees.

In mid sixties my family attended National City Christian Church in DC and Lyndon and Ladybird Johnson occasionally showed up. One Sunday they sat down next to my mom. As a fifth or so grader I think I had snuck off to the balcony where a friend and I chatted with a couple of secret service agents.

Wayne Bugg @waynebugg.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Today’s critters are future American Goldfinches. There’s a good crop of coneflowers coming. Hope I’m around when they harvest them.

A patch of coneflowers is blooming in a front porch flower garden.

I’m hoping he isn’t modeling himself after anyone just being himself.

Pretty exciting (and loud) when they turn around right over your house.

Finally harvested tomatoes yesterday and we know what that means.
