Did someone say the #birdoftheday #theme was π₯ (wait for it) - #corvidae ?
Fortunately this #photo I shot of a #common #raven in the #wild qualifies. A smart and proud looking #bird, I bet if you told him he was common he would take offence. π πͺΆ #birds #photography #nature #wily

Todayβs #birdoftheday #theme is #sideprofiles. Here then is a beautiful #American #Pelican, taken last #summer. You can barely see the tip of her black #feathers which are most prominent when she takes flight. Have a very good week, all! π#photography #bird πͺΆ #birds #nature #wild #lake

Yes βOperation Epic Furyβ is going to garner news and comments, because it is slowly dawning on normal Americans how inept the planning was and how lengthy the USAβs involvement may be.
But letβs also focus on βOperational Epstein Worryβ and make sure Trump does as well.

For Sundayβs #BirdOfTheDay #theme there is a choice of #photogenic & #LightAndShade. This #Western #Grebe is facing the setting sun, with light only on its head. The reflecting green pond grass of #Frank #Lake #Alberta π¨π¦ is all in shade. #bird πͺΆ #birds #photography #nature #wild #reflection #RedEye

It is IMPOSSIBLE to read this article due to the ads that cannot be removed. What is this - 1994?

Hmmn. #SteppingOut is todayβs #BirdOfTheDay #theme. Hereβs what I have to offer - a #Semipalmated #Sandpiper, caught on the colourful green shore of Frank #Lake in southern #Alberta π¨π¦. Shot last August. Looking forward to visiting again soon. π

Donβt think that suggestion wonβt be made by some MAGA morons on βXβ. Incidentally Scott, Iβm sure you know that gentle sarcasm is not a thing on the corpse platform that used to be Twitter. If you posted your comment there it would get so many approving it, but not getting your point.

Crockett is going to be a significant player for the Democrats. Sheβs smart and intuitive and SO needs to be in government, as does Talarico. That she didnβt challenge the GOPβs cheating and is immediately choosing to unite her party is something no MAGA candidate would do. Eyes on the prize, all.

It is completely out of context if you donβt see the comment I was replying to. But to answer you, I donβt smoke anything.

Of course it is. That was my point. I was replying to the suggestion that if Crockett fails to be the candidate then the βBlack voteβ (his words) will not vote. As if theyβd want 4 more years of MAGA.

You do realize that without the question to which I replied being visible my reply can be taken out of context.
No, you probably donβt.

Oh of course! That fickle black vote will all cast their votes for whichever MAGA candidate emerges.

A side view of a Mallard hen in a pond in Alberta.
One thing the #birdoftheday #theme does is it occasionally makes us go through our #photos looking for one that best fits the bill. π₯ Todayβs #theme is #sideview, so I sought a #photo of a #bird directly 90Β° from my lens. This qualifies. π #photography #birds πͺΆ #nature #wild #duck #mallard #hen

Rath is such an attention seeking fool he doesnβt know how ridiculous he appears to pretty well everyone outside of the morons in Alberta who want nothing more than to be Americans. Just go seek asylum in the States, fool, while there are still idiots running that country who would accept you.

Thanks. And I agree. Too many photos of those pretty boys with their iridescent green heads. π
(Full disclosure: I do photograph the males a lot as well)

A mallard hen.
The #birdoftheday #theme is #perfectlighting. This #Mallard #hen drifted near me as I was standing on a large rock above a drainage #pond in #Calgary π¨π¦.
She was equally lit by a street lamp on the left and the setting sun on the right. I liked the result. π #photography #bird πͺΆ #birds #nature #wild

Well, his earlier comments calling soldiers βsuckers and losers,β is something he canβt walk back, no matter how hard he doesnβt try.

Trump is staring at a porcelain vase as he calls for Iranian citizens to take control of their country. Thatβs about 5 minutes before he told the press heβs open to speaking with Iranβs current leadership (or whatβs left of it). He knows if he breaks the vase he owns it, so heβs set up his off-ramp.

Not a surprise. Jennings is just biding his time until David Ellison makes him the star of the new CNN, with him hosting a one-hour daily show, likely called, βGreat Scott!β After 300 consecutive days of promoting Trump through countless lies can a Presidential Medal of Freedom be that far away?
