But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

@SketchesbyBoze Agreed…but I could do without that creeper elephant that married his cousin.

@Mama_Bear_Sarah Girl, same

Happy Birthday to me!
I saw a Saw Whet Owl!

@evornithology Looks like a case of Warbler Neck.

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@courtneyellis !!!!!!!

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@courtneyellis
I AM RIGHT NOW LOOKING AT A REDSTART!!!!

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@courtneyellis Rude of them

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

Took a short walk at a local nature preserve. Nowhere fancy, just a local park.
Merlin heard 15ish Warbler varieties. I got Good Looks at several.
WARBLER SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY LANDED!

@courtneyellis you are going to LOVE it here.

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@suzania Also, is that cover art by Chris VanAllsburg? I’ve never seen it before?

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@suzania I didn’t realize how DEEPLY FORMATIVE those books were until I reread them recently.
I am who I am today, in part, because of Madeleine.

During Spring Migration, we wear woodcock earrings.

I don’t make the rules.

@Jessicawhippl17 @courtneyellis BUT WITH BIRDS!!!

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@courtneyellis Also, do the boardwalk at Magee several times if you can.
The estuary trail that connects Magee to Ottawa is supposed to be amazing (it’s on my list to try this year).
The Dike trail at Metzger Marsh is a hidden gem.
Also, tell people what your target birds are. They will help!

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@courtneyellis Pace yourself!
There’s a lot of free stuff (all the LOCATIONS are free, but the guided tours are not) to do if you don’t want to do all the paid outings, although you should do at least one for the experience.
Wear good walking shoes.
Do the boardwalk trail at The Lodge.

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@courtneyellis MAGEEE!!!!!! It’s almost impossible to NOT see a Redstart there. Come on!

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@kristenrudd Finished! I’ll allow it.
Reminiscent of Laurus

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@kristenrudd I am 3/4 done with this book and SO INVESTED. If it ends horribly, SO HELP ME KRISTEN, I will never, NEVER, trust your recommendations again!!!!!

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

@kristenrudd *adds to list because Kristen always knows the best books *

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

You never know when you’ll be reading a book, very normally, and BAM! The John Birch Society makes a sudden appearance.

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

Very sane take:
All adults (and teens) should be able to feed themselves and, within reason, others.
It doesn’t matter if they are male or female, single or dating or married, working or caregiver.

[Tai French @Matrimonified]

Not a ton of time for birding today, but I did get lifer avocets, some lovely pelicans, and a handful of warblers!
