Seen lots of birds over this early Spring, some more mundane than others. But the regional difference is still so fascinating. It’s nice to be able to see the world taking on different forms depending on where you go.

This has been a hell of a couple weeks. We lost DMX, there’s a show trial for Derek Chauvin who murdered George Floyd in plain sight, and another murderous cop Kim Potter killed Daunte Wright. I am fed up, but I am tired. So, as long as the birds keep coming, I’ll be watching.
