Ummm apparently I’m the luckiest person on the face of the planet? Because I happened to come across these two river otters at my local lake this morning! I knew there were otters in my state but never heard of them around here! 🦦🦦
Dozens of white pelicans with black primary flight feathers soaring in a spiraling loop pattern as they ascend
Zoom in on 6 of the pelicans and…what are those weird lumps on their bills?
Zoom in on one with a big orange tuberosity sticking off the middle of its upper bill
American white pelicans are BACK and better than ever! 🪶
Just now learned by zooming in on this photo that they make a weird tuberosity on their bills called a caruncle during mating season that will fall off like deer antlers!?
One of the weirder dinosaurs I’ve seen
Successful family peent quest!
American Woodcock 🪶
Unfortunate highway noise, but sound on for some peents and a little smudge of visible timberdoodle sky dance 🪶
Three children of assorted ages in winter gear walking on a gravel path near a field and woods at sunset. Eyeball emoji covers the face of the eldest
Family’s gone peenting!
(AKA timberdoodling)
((AAKA looking for American Woodcocks))
(((successfully!)))
Ben Stiller hire this man!
I went to high school with Jason so I am extremely biased in his favor 😆
The Sox broadcasts never fell off because of his NCAABB broadcasts or whatever, the man just loves to call games! He’d call 2 games a day if he could. True Reinsdorf madness
“Okay but can you tell me like, the official reason they’re saying even if it’s not true?”
Ummmm, kinda????
This is a paraphrased real conversation lol
“Dad, can you explain to me why the US is bombing Iran?”
Ummmm, kinda?
Correct. Absolute shitstain
This man loves mess!
He’s such a doofus, everybody loved Jason. Even his cringe was lovable
Not our beloved and trusted leader Jerry!!!
Jesus did he really push Jason out for that reason? Sounds like an extremely Jerry thing to do
He was the only R who voted in favor of
I’m sorry!!! 😣
Physically he missed but his point was definitely made, so yeh he definitely got my ass
Yeah well, I know where it lives! Sort of. Vaguely.
A red-tailed hawk perched on a branch with its tail lifted in the air. A long stream of white and black bird poop is captured flying through the air out of its cloaca. It’s popping at me!!! Rude!!
RUDE!!! 🪶
Grumpy-looking great-horned owl hiding next to a tree trunk, does not look happy that I was tromping around in its yard
Really pissed off the birds something good yesterday 🪶
Witch’s butter (I believe, not orange jelly or brain jelly), which is a beautiful shade of yellow-orange emerging from the side of a hardwood branch in folded waves that almost resemble disorganized flower petals
A close-up view of a few rows of shelf fungus on a moss-covered log, with white top surfaces and subtly gilled reddish undersides
A mossy tree branch coated with row upon row of the same shelf fungus. It resembles a scaly leg because the coverage is nearly complete. Because of the angle, the lower half is all white and the upper half is all reddish-brown
A close-up of the same fungus-covered branch at the perspective border between red-brown undersides to the top left and white oversides to the bottom right
Mycological side adventure! 🍄 🍄🟫
Pretty sure that’s witch’s butter on the left (some thought brain jelly but I think that’s wrong), and some cool ass shelf fungus for the rest (I don’t know enough to be more specific but happy to learn)!
Damn I need a macro lens
A tiny grey bird with a black-and-white striped head/face and rusty flanks positioned vertically on a rotten tree branch, tail up. Its face is pointed directly at the camera and the positioning is such that its pointed beak just looks like a cartoon human’s button nose, and the line where its beak meets its face on the underside looks like an unamused linear mouth. The white lines coming to a point above the eyes give its face a cartoonis angry eyebrow appearance. The net effect is a face that vaguely resembles an annoyed human.
The same photo but zoomed in on the annoyed face
When you act a fool in front of a red-breasted nuthatch this is the face they make at you 🪶
Don’t worry, the hole in her heart will be filled now. The dead elementary school kids filled it and the hunger is satiated
Also I get my big nose from the gentile side of my family so fuck off everyone
I am begging everyone to just not think about us at all for a little bit. Just like…think about how cool radial symmetry in plants and animals can be. Or whatever. Just take a fuckin break from thinking about Jews for one single minute, goddamn.
huffing isobutane
Please no jfc…
This is common for megaprojects, not just stadiums, which is why it’s part of a bill that includes other megaprojects. In general, infrastructure is usually state/municipal responsibility for giant projects. This is nothing like the horrible stadium deals foisted on states previously.
That’s correct in only the most technical sense, they want a PILOT agreement which is a set rate payment “in lieu of property taxes”. They will be paying money in the exact same way it’s just called something else and isn’t subject to the huge swings in property tax rates.
Waiting for their DIY fistulas, bound to go well
