#birds This is a female grackle - all her colors are very muted compared to the male.

#birds A robin and a a male house-sparrow share the bath. This is unusual. Notice how they both discreetly face away from each other for the entire bath - seem so... polite.

#birds A robin is in the bath! His exertions are so strong that the splash hits the camera lens. I'm sharing it because the effect is amusing, and it's an example of how things don't always work the way you expect them to...🙂 Video captured four days ago in afternoon light in shade.

#birds first clear image for 2026 - a Junco in the bird-bath. (Windstorm filled it with leaves...)

#birds a Junco takes a thorough bath. The slightly misty quality is due to condensation on the lens.

#birds Robin behavior: preening after a bath. The bath can take minutes - and so can the preening. Every feather needs to be "groomed". (That's a Junco making a cameo appearance at the beginning...)

#fox This fox crossed my yard at 9:30 this morning... It's colors are gorgeous! (Yes that is a separate trail cam sitting on the wall looking at a shallow stone bird-bath.)

#birds A junco is checking out the leftovers from the small pumpkins in the background (which have been gnawed by possums and squirrels).

#birds The robin steps up to the bath and then braces itself for a few splashes. (It's been cold - so it is less enthusiastic than on warmer days.)

#birds Don't get too close or you might get splashed by the Cardinal. (It's been cold - so not many birds come to the bath - although this Cardinal finally committed to it!)

Even in his ghostwritten autobiography, Donald Trump avoids any mention of academic effort or excelling in school. Unlike successful leaders, he never pulled all-nighters for exams. #DonaldTrump #Biography #Politics #Leadership #Education

Multiple #ICE warehouses were sold by people in #Trump's corrupt circle who were sitting on the properties and losing money. Journalists dug into it and found that properties were bought by the feds for 10 times their list price. It's a new level of corruption ☠️ #TrumpIsACrook #LockHimUpAlready

We were in the House until 2:30 a.m. last night because of GOP mismanagement of FISA—the law that governs U.S. surveillance authorities. Rushing something this serious through in the dead of night isn’t governing. The American people deserve transparency and accountability.

Politics shouldn’t be this complicated. You should be able to see everything clearly.

Trump says the federal government doesn’t have any money to fund child care & health care. But he has no problem cutting those programs to fund another war in the Middle East.

VOLKER: Trump looks at Russia's war against Ukraine as a matter of who's bigger, who has power. Russia's bigger country, so Russia's going to win. Ukraine should give something up and make peace. Trump can't understand why they're not doing this. And he is making a huge mistake.
