The Cardinals hatched today!

American Goldfinch on the feeder. I don't see them very often in Florida. But when I used to visit my Mawmaw Betty in West Virginia, she always had them at her feeders. I think it's good to remind myself that the world is so much larger than humanity.

Trump has been good for one industry. I've been using way more medical marijuana just to cope with the idiocy. The stupid is so strong, it's physically painful.

The Eastern Bluebirds continue to build their nest. This branch is right above the nest box; they tend to hang out there and stand guard. I expect eggs in a few days. #nestwatch

I expect to see Paul Tazewell at the Met Ball this year. The theme is "Black Dandyism". He has to be there! I already have to know what he'll be wearing.

As a Floridian, at least I know to trust in the European spaghetti model this hurricane season since Trump is devastating our National Weather Service. The Europeans have been really accurate over the last several years. Good to know someone still values science.

Here's a palate cleanser for your feed. The male Cardinal often feeds the female during the early part of breeding season. They're underneath the feeder that holds sunflower seeds. #birding #relationshipgoals

The Cardinals are at three eggs. I've been tracking the nest on Cornell's Nest Watch app. Yes, that's plastic at the bottom. 🤦‍♀️ #birding #nestwatch
