1️⃣ and 2️⃣ I enjoy so much I’ve dedicated time to enhance their nesting success. 3️⃣ is the very first “wow” bird of my formative years. 4️⃣ is the bird I most want to be and 5️⃣ because the sight and sound of it evoke the endorphin rush of a brisk country bike ride.

[Rich Stessman @3rdwith1down]

5 birds to get to know me:

1️⃣ Eastern Bluebird
2️⃣ American Kestrel
3️⃣ Baltimore Oriole
4️⃣ Red-tailed Hawk
5️⃣ Indigo Bunting

Only five?!? That’s hard.

Jeff Beck was a genius, a stunning original. He was an astounding guitar player with more ways to make you go, “WTF was that?” than anybody else. He was profoundly talented, and never stopped innovating on the instrument. R.I.P. Jeff.. https://t.co/stKn1RPWIN

Never in a million years did I think the Governor of Iowa would strive to be more like Arkansas or Mississippi, but here we are.
