Bald #eagle nest reported in Toronto for the first time in recorded history.

Last year, Bald Eagles were removed from Ontario’s Endangered species list due to rise in population after being wiped out following DDT usage.

But they have never been seen to nest in Toronto. #birders very excited!

@liztai ooooh! Great news!!!

@liztai I was super irritated by White Cats first episodes. The Persian in a wig and the name bugged me. The cgi too. But when Li Bing appeared, it improved a lot. What a perfect ‘cat-like’ actor! Those huge eyes! I will keep watching a bit longer now!

I love all the Judge Dee films but this last one is not yet in Canada. Sigh.

@UkMudeok Absolutely S2 coming! They are filming!

@seanbala @liztai Liz has excellent taste in dramas so her blog will be a big help as you dive in!
I am in awe of folks who can analyze & blog a series. I promise to fangirl post about great cinematography, or great acting or cool plots on the #cdrama hashtag when I come across a good one!

@liztai @seanbala I love Tradnl Xianxia watchers rxns to Lite versions: ‘40 episodes & 12 core characters?! Bwahaha 120 episodes & 40 core and a notebook to keep up with all the different reincarnations!’

@seanbala @liztai
This is a fun Lunar New Year question for #cdrama fans: Which drama would you recommend first to a newbie?!
#xianxia light genre- The Starry Love
#xianxia more tradnl - Love & Destiny
#wuxia - Blood of Youth or Joy of Life or Sword Snow Stride
Historical - Longest Day in Changan
Court - Rise of Phoenixes
Coming of Age - Go Ahead
Mystery - The Bad Kids

@liztai Even the trailer made me roll my eyes!

@liztai @whoosh lol - we’ll have to create a Tai Index for Morbid Drama Themes!

@whoosh dropped it! And it seemed a good drama based on actors… disappointing
