    Sort of a twist on #WildlifeWednesday if you will allow it.

    Not unusual to hear these tricksters engaging in song down in the bosque and on occasion they will sing a chorus or two in the yard. Last night they decided to stage an entire opera outside my bedroom at 2:30am.

    I finally had to get up to turn on the floodlights, which usually does the trick, but last night I had to pound on the glass to move the three of them along. Sigh.

    Never did get back to sleep. I'm looking forward to a nice nap this afternoon.

  9. Science is a fundamentally human endeavor, whose purpose is to help us understand the world, better our lives, feed our innate curiosity. It is meaningless, empty, and toxic if placed above or in opposition to human rights and human lives. Humanity and justice must come first.

  11. While hiking in New Mexico a while back, I saw these Native American pictographs. Staring at them and reflecting was mesmerizing.

    Fun fact: people colloquially use “petroglyphs” to describe paintings on rock walls. But that specifically refers to etchings, not paintings. “Pictographs” is the term for the latter.
