@InvaderGzim Yeah I was the same way about their app. Apps, not so good. Info pretty thorough. There are some specialty sites out there like Sialis.org for bluebirds and so forth. You can do better than Cornell but its a good starting point for me when I'm trying to ID a bird "on the fly" 😅
@InvaderGzim By the way, if you haven't already bookmarked it, the Cornell Ornithology Lab has an excellent site for referencing birds. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/
@InvaderGzim Hmm I'm not aware of a difference in tail length between the sexes. Maybe he's just missing a few feathers from a run in with a hawk or something.
I'm off to buy stocking stuffers. Yes on xmas eve. Its a masochistic tradition! 😜
@InvaderGzim I'm pretty sure she's a female cardinal. Its just that female cardinals have some of the markings that cedar waxwings do. If she's usually with the male, you can bet its a cardinal, though. The mated pairs don't often stray too far from one another.
@InvaderGzim PS She looks almost like a cedar waxwing with those markings. "She's a beaut, Clark!"
@InvaderGzim I can see them both and they're lovely! I'm a birder, too, so keep the pics coming. 🐦

REVEALED: Trump has made 95 secret appointments he doesn’t want you to know about
Some appointees seem to have little work experience at all.

#FLASH - Defense chief Mattis to leave as of Jan 1, not the end of Feb as previously stated, Trump to name deputy Shanahan as acting secretary.

It's the anniversary of the GOP tax bill. The President called it “a bill for the middle class.”
So how's it going?
U.S. companies announced over $400bn in stock buybacks.
The Dow is down 2000 points.
GM is laying off 14,000 workers.
And your pay raise was lost in the mail.
Winning yet?

There was an earthquake and Tsunami last night in Indonesia. Here's the US Embassy's notice to US citizens over there, and those looking to get status of relatives along with the last information from the place they send you to. #TrumpShutdown
@Minholkin Sounds like you have a true gift in your sister as well

My sister sent this to me, very early this morning, with her usual uncanny sense for what I need to hear.
Sometimes, the most precious gift we can offer someone is ourselves—our quiet presence...just being there.

Let me paint a picture:
It's Saturday night before xmas. The stock market tanked this week. His Sec of Defense resigned. And his Chief of staff shortly before that.
The WH is almost empty. GOP Senators are seething cos they can't completely leave DC of the break.
His staff is mostly away. He can't leave for his Florida mansion.
He's trapped and he's got to pretend he's doing all of this because of his.....
"principles."'
😑

@Sixandseven8ths @XSGeek Understanding business is important so I don't disagree, but understanding the difference between leading a business and leading government (business vs. public administration) is a critical skill. Trump is used to leading by fiat. Governing is leading by rule of law. Having administered elections, I feel the importance can't be understated.
@Kennyes Thank you! Thanks for the follow back 😀
