@mekkaokereke guess I’ll be renewing my membership. 👍🏻

@Gargron Couldn't find any mention at all in my hometown paper the Seattle Times of the Musk Nazi salute. Even mainstream media is failing.

Plenty to see on the daybreak ramble at the local wetlands park. #Hiking #GetOutside #Birding

@Gargron Back at you, thanks for providing me a refuge here.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @internetarchive @pluralistic True. Hundreds of stories I wrote for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that were all on the web from 1998 until the print editions of the newspaper died in 2009 are gone now from the Internet. They are archived by the Seattle Public Libraries, either digitally or on microfilm. But for practical purposes to the public, not available without big effort. Mentioned to a friend here just yesterday how I think the Internet has gone to shit.

Beavers are happily benefiting from the recent bomb cyclone, which blew down two large cottonwood trees into the lake near their lodge. They began stripping bark the next day and this morning we spotted one enjoying a cottonwood breakfast. #Beaver Power! #GetOutside #Hiking

Finally! Caught a Virginia rail in the open. Hear them 20 times more than see them, and then usually a fleeting glimpse. Success on the chilly morning bimble. Plus a hoody and one of our usual furry friends. #BirdNerd #Hiking #GetOutside

Giant red cedars for #ThickTrunkTuesday. #GetOutside #Hiking

Had not heard of this hashtag, but I can do it! #TrainTracksTuesday #GetOutside

Cooper’s hawk spreading its long tail feathers while catching the Saturday morning sunshine. #Hiking #Birding #GetOutside

Cooper’s hawk dropped in on the neighbor’s fence, all the tweety birds scattered. Shot through my front window so a bit fuzzy. #Birding

If only 10 percent of these "gifts" are true, this is abject corruption at the highest level of alleged justice in America.

Plenty of interesting sights on the morning ramble, finally got decent shots of the elusive swamp creature known as the Virginia rail. Also some snuggling ducklings and the weirdest thing I've seen in some time, a huge flippin' turtle, I swear two feet long! A spiny softshell turtle, from back east, not native but somehow here in Lake Washington. #Hiking #Birding #GetOutside

Always considered myself a hiker who also enjoys related activities like rockhounding, beachcombing, mushrooming and birding. But recently got a new, better lens and so now guess I'm a hiker/birder, still a hiker but also a bird nerd, as my offspring say. #Birding #Hiking #GetOutside

There really was a Rikki, as in Steely Dan's catchy song Rikki Don't Lose That Number, from the fabulous 1974 album Pretzel Logic. Fagen had had a crush on her in college, the writer Rikki Ducornet. #ThingsIJustLearned

First little fuzzball ducklings of the year that I’ve seen, plus other critters enjoying a fine spring morning. Stay alive #GetOutside #Hiking

@randahl Now you see why the fascist prick bought the bird shit site? To be the bullhorn of his fellow fascist prick. If you're still on that site, don't approach me, don't talk to me.
