I achieved some remarkable results in the past couple of days, only one of which was reaffirming my role as a cautionary tale.

Here are a few birds plus an oddly colored skunk to enliven your day.
Neighborhood Nature (Pt. 9)
Caution: Snake photos below! The alarm went off around 5:00 a.m. last Friday. It’s not an actual alarm; it’s just in my head. Go ahead and laugh; you’ll be old someday, too.
