And a common kingfisher 🐦🧡💙💦 I saw this bird skimmed the pond surface in high speed a moment before this. *excitement of the day*🤗

Hello there...every day that I use Mastodon, I like to list three things that I like as a contribution towards a positive online space, as well as my own headspace. If you did this today, what would feature on your list?

01. Did 90% of my laundry
02. Eating some really tasty rice/onion/spices thing (think there's lemon or lime in there, it was left for me in the fridge!)
03. Looks likely that I'm on the permanently larger hour-band for work (starting next week after really enjoying the minimum hours band this week to play more music, walk more dog, and read more book)

Hope whoever reads this can have a nice day.

Today’s supervisor would like you all to know she is suffering from a critical deficiency of scritches.

All eight of the morning squirrels are in for breakfast!

We have another set of three who will be in later this afternoon. Those three have very thin, unfluffy tails, so we know they’re a different group.

A wooden deck with feeders hanging off the rails and sunflower seeds scattered over it.

One squirrel is close to the door, another one is at a peanut feeder on the rail on the left side. Four are in an open area of the deck, two actively eating, two searching. One is sitting under a chair next to the open area and the eighth one is under the table, partially obscured by the closest chair’s leg. Four of the squirrels are reddish in color, the other four have a more grayish-red coat.

Would ya look at that! Snow? What snow?! *knocking on wood*

Jen and I are looping video of the Westminster Kennel Club dog show for our Dachshund, Penny, because she seems to think she is the winner of Best In show, Penny the Doberman Pinscher.

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌏 #whatbird #mybirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜

Image description: A small, vibrant songbird perched on a weathered log. It features a striking silver-grey crown and nape, a black face and throat, and a deep orange-rufous underbody and tail. Its wings are black with a prominent, white rectangular wing patch. The background is a soft, out-of-focus wash of garden greens and browns.

Clue: "Look for the 'silver cap' and the signature white wing patches that look like little thumbprints. This colourful visitor is a classic winter herald across East Asia."

Fun fact: Despite their small size, these birds are incredibly feisty and territorial! They are famous for their frequent tail-quivering and 'bowing' motion, which they use to signal to other birds that this specific branch is strictly off-limits.

From discombobulated on admission, to vocal and feisty on release, this Northern Hawk Owl at Bird TLC returned to the skies with a clean bill of health. Want to donate to Bird Treatment and Learning Center? https://birdtlc.org/donate Source: https://fb.com/961444549357137 #owlsintowels 💛🦉

A Northern Hawk Owl wears a watermelon pink towel and a stern expression. His head is wide and oblate, sporting pale beeswax yellow eyes that match his beak, and feathers in shades of lunar rock and obsidian. His face is punctuated with black markings in the shape of harps - curved around the eyes, rising to peaks at the temples, and flanked by thick pillars where the sideburns should be. The rehabber holds him in a purple glove.
