Tony, those parakeets and the oil! stunning!
Patricia, what a great photo of oils and kitten. They must be growing up together. I hope they are kind to each other.

The cat & owls pix is funny Patricia. Reminds me of a "which one of these is different?" questions.

Tony, this is an incredible photo of a kingfisher, I think, and its fishing techniques.

Nothing like the quality of the posted pics. This is through my window using a cheap point and shoot camera. I can only ID one as chickadee. The suet/seed cake us store bought general purpose.

Great photos Sentient, and nice to see your birds. Isn't that one with a red spot a woodpecker? At first I thought his bill was not right, but I think it is that lovely bird that drills into my head when he is on my pole.

Joan, you are right! It's a male downy woodpecker! Between you and google, I can figure it out. The link even says they hang out with chicadees, which they were doing at my feeder. And lots of finches.
Now the other one... I have no idea!

Could that larger bird be a Northern Flicker?

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
