Tuesday light me up

[ostdrossel]

The week began with lots of work for me and with air so thick, hot and humid you could probably cut it. The garden is happy, the mosquitoes are thriving, and the birds are giving their best wet mug shots, some more sassy than others. Baby MoDo (last photo) is already starting to defend the food bowl from others like a pro.

Caught mid-grackle!

It's finally warming up and the massive flocks of grackles are returning to my home state of CT.

Many don't know, but they're an introduced species that flourished in the states, and now unfortunately outcompetes many native species.

^ this is wrong and I apologize. The Great Tailed Grackle is the introduced and invasive one. This image is a common Grackle! Thanks to the commenter for the catch :)

They're still cute when they call though 🥰 I took this picture at the Forest Park Zoo in Springfield. Check it out it's a great little zoo!
