Celebrated the first day of spring by getting my legal affairs in order at long last. Huge relief! Then @Wenshine_ and @harpyeye and I sang our lawyer, Jay, a song to send him on his way. #musicheals #singingwithsongbirds

What the heck?!?

How can Americans not find the United States on a World Map?

This is so sad!

Who are they... Trump's base? 😉

By talking about them last night at dinner w/ @jess25, @ballabing, and @Wenshine_ , we conjured spring’s first American woodcock display as witnessed by @harpyeye at Indigo Hill. Now THAT’S a sign of spring! #birding #nevernotbirding #hurryspring

Just got hooked up to chemo round 3. It’s like someone said: “we’re going to give you the worst flu you’ve ever had. But trust us, it’s helping you.” This stuff kills all cells, cancer and healthy. Fingers crossed. On the plus side, it’s a beautiful sunny day. #cancersucks

The weirdest side effect of my illness is, weeks before it was diagnosed, I lost my taste for beer. To ensure your financial well-being, sell brewery stock in your portfolio, specifically those that brew Heineken, Harpoon, St. Peter’s Pale Ale, or Sweetwater 420!

@khils1 Happy to Kevin. Or pm your mailing address and I’ll send a bookplate. All the best.

Not much of a bird list from Chemo Big Sit #2, but several kestrels en route to/from. Thinking that’s a totem bird for this journey. And the big snowy front moving in should up the feeder action at home. #peaceofbirds

Heard the unmistakable “Kleer!” call of an evening grosbeak yesterday. Immediately covered all flat outdoor surfaces with black-oil sunflower seed in hopes of luring it in. #birding #birdfeeding #finchinvasion

After an unseasonably warm, sunny day, the night sky decided to show all of its stars tonight. #getoutside #nightsky #orionsbelt

[Bill Thompson, III @billofthebirds]

These short winter days remind me of how the sun sets at 6 pm at the Equator. Except here there's snow, leafless trees, no bird or insect sounds, and the skies are flannel-gray. Other than that, pretty much the same. #letsgettropical

Just finished recording episode 46 of the Out There with the Birds podcast with my pal Ben Lizdas. This one deals with lots of winter birding subjects and has a tasty musical recommendation. Should be up later this weekend. #podcast #otwtb #birding
