Eastern Bluebird (Sialis sialis)

Chadron State Park - Fall 2023

Another compare-and-contrast with these two Eastern Bluebirds. Both are male, but one is an adult and the other a hatch year- the term for a bird born this calender year. Birds can be hard to age, as they all molt at least once a year, and most adult songbirds in America will completely molt all of their feathers. Younger birds don't often have the energy and resources to do that, however, and will typically retain flight feathers until the next calender year. This is helpful for aging, as juvenile feathers are often browner and more flimsy compared to fresh feathers. Even in adults, retained feathers typically look a little more dull and dingy. This age/cycle difference between feathers is called a molt limit.

Fun fact! In the banding world (at least in the US), we consider January 1st to be the birthday of all wild birds! This plays into the age categories for birds of "hatch year" and "after hatch hear", meaning "this bird was born this calender year" versus "this bird was not born this year". For a lot of birds, that distinction is as far as it goes. For birds showing molt limits, though, they can sometimes be micro-aged further into "second year" or "after second year", meaning "this bird was a juvenile last year" versus "this bird has been alive at least two years".

Both of these birds show a molt limit, though it is easier to see on the younger bird rather than the adult. Also take note of the difference in blue and how vibrant the adult male is versus the younger male. The young bird still has some juvenile body plumage too, the gray feathers with white centers.

All banding, marking, and sampling is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey's BBL. Permission to share images was granted by Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (BCR).

Cameras offend him

[beedlemania]

storytime with davy can be absolutely chaotic. davy loves to be read to, and mike loves to read to him, but it’s very hard to get little one to sit still unless hes super sleepy, and they sometimes like to read during the daytime when davy isn’t exactly tired. he’ll be focused on the story and very excited about what mike is saying, but oftentimes he’ll be wiggling all over the place and falling into mikes lap and climbing onto his shoulders and pushing his nose into mikes hair and mike has to avoid being kicked in the face or poked in the eye so he has to be like “okay but we’ve gotta sit still right?” every two minutes but it never works when davy is all wiggly.

even when davy is mostly sitting still he will interrupt mike to point something out or aggressively slap the page and pull the book close to mike’s face and be like “look mumma!!!” and mike’s like “uh huh honey, you gotta use your inside voice.” while getting a mouthful of davys hair. but then davy will flop back into mike and cuddle in deeply and maybe he’ll be grabbing mikes hands and putting them in his mouth but he’s gotten some of his energy out and is content and mike just has to give him a kiss on the head because mike will take anything because he loves the little moments they get and davy does too.

sometimes he’ll read with peter and peter will either sit across from him cross legged as he reads or push up next to him or put his head in mikes lap and just sit and mike is kind of amazed because he’s so used to trying desperately to make sure the books don’t get all ripped or trying not to get bonked in the nose. peter will be like “mike look at that :)” and point at things but never breaks any decibel levels or whatever. peter can be wiggly too but when it’s just him and mike it’s usually mutually calm for both of them.

sometimes the two boys at once can get peter riled up from davy’s energy, but sometimes peter will stick davy in his lap and rock him a bit and that’ll calm davy down because peter’s just so warm and mikes voice reading to them is so nice.

and micky will take over reading for mike at bedtime sometimes because mike tends to be exhausted by the end of the day and davy can be too much stimulation, but micky does all the silliest voices so it’s a special treat for davy.

(sorry this is so long i just keep getting thoughts!!)

Yes yes! Davy is the wiggliest ever! He’s just so happy to be spending time with Mike and he loves cuddles so much that he just can’t stop himself climbing all over him. Davy’s main outlet to letting his excitement out is running around but he can’t run around if Mike’s reading to him so he opts to being the wiggliest boy ever instead. A lot of the time he has to ask Mike to reread things because he somehow ended up upside down and buried in mikes armpit and didnt hear a thing. Either that or he forgot to listen in his scuffling.

He tries his best to sit still when mike asks but hes just so happy that Mike’s there with him that he wants to get as close as humanly possible!! He also worries that since Mike is reading hes not looking at the pictures so he has to point them out, if not Mike might miss something!

Something Mike does a lot to refocus him is pretend to get stuck on words. He’ll stop reading and tut and shake his head and Davy will pop up from behind him to see what’s wrong. Mike will “try” to sound out the word and then admit hes stuck so Davy has to come help him read. It makes Davy still and relatively quiet since he thinks hes helping Mike. When Davy sounds it out and tells Mike, Mike will read it and get a pat on the head. Mike will then tell him he might need some more help so Davy has to sit up and still in case. (This lasts about one sentence before Davy’s sprawled on him and everything)

Peters usually a good sport but sometimes if hes been looking forward to a story and Davy keeps distracting Mike, he’ll get a bit huffy. Usually he’ll rock Davy on his lap, but when hes huffy he’ll just sit on him. Not on his lap, just pinning him down on the couch on his stomach. Davy whines and wiggles but eventually gets comfortable. As long as some part of him is touching Mike and he can see the pictures, he settles down.

Mike has learned from the past that he needs to go to the library to laminate a lot of books and other sheets so that Davy doesn’t accidentally tear them. A lot of their books are taped together and barely hanging on.

In Baltimore City, MD: The sweetest, wiggliest, most affectionate 7-week-old puppy with abnormal front legs needs rescue - BARCS, Baltimore MD

If you can help save Frisco and offer this sweet pup a foster home, please email foster@charlietotherescue.org

Frisco- 7 weeks old, unaltered male, 15lbs

7-week-old Frisco is just the sweetest, friendliest, most affectionate boy! Not only does he have the cutest smirk and floppy ears, but he has the wiggliest body when he's excited to see someone- he's irresistible! He may have some medical issues going on, but he does not let anything slow him down. He's a determined little fella.

Upon examination, our vets noted that Frisco, while otherwise apparently healthy, has abnormal front legs. X-rays of the limbs suggest carpus varus, so the images are being sent out for review and hopefully a treatment plan. A full medical summary can be provided upon request.

Frisco is available immediately for rescue pick-up, and due to his young age and medical concerns, we are looking to find placement for him ASAP.

Please let us know if your organization can help!

Thank you,

CHARACTER PROFILES: LORD PHOBOS

Phobos is a goofball with a rebellious streak–always has been, probably always will be. His childhood was so stuffy and formal that he wouldn’t mind this second go-around, except… Well, he misses his family, especially his twin brother. He and Deimos were so close when they were young, that it feels strange that he’s not here now. On the bright side though, at least he has no royal rules to deal with. He has Sung and Meouch to goof off with, and he has Havve, who’s going to make everything right again. First impressions? He’s got this kid thing in the bag.

Was a member of his home planet’s nobility, but never enjoyed that life. He’s a man of science and funky grooves, not ruling and governing and etiquette. He had always wanted to leave home--he just wished it had been under better circumstances.

Had a twin brother, Deimos. The two were best friends, though their interests could not have been any more different.

Took a vow of silence after the collapse of his society to honor his people. He is physically capable of speech, but communicates only by writing or by using ASL. The others know ASL well enough to understand him without difficulty, though Sung is the only other one who knows how to sign more than a few words.

Close to 1,200 years old, but he can’t tell for sure because his planet’s calendar and Earth’s do not match up in the slightest. There’s several pages of very involved math equations pinned up on his bedroom wall dedicated to this problem.

Is the ship’s navigator, using his rocketeering prowess to determine efficient warp trajectories and keep them from getting too close to black holes.

Loves space, rocketeering, and 80′s Earth sci-fi so much that almost all of his t-shirts are space-themed. The only one that’s not is a Toronto Blue Jays shirt.

Has a pet cat named Jazzy. She is the master of naps.

Any questions about my version of Phobos? Let me know! The last in-depth character profile is on the way, but in the meantime, head over to the About page to read a little about everyone!

What do you think that Arthur, Gwen, Morgana, Merlin and the Knight's favorite animals are?

I have been putting off this ask for a million years because this was a tough one to think through and I was intimidated. You sure know how to ask good head-scratcher questions, my friend :) But! I’m gonna face my fears and try to fathom this one out.

Morgana. Snakes. And I don’t just say that because she’s ~uwu evil~ and also a hardcore Slytherin, but just look at the series. I can think of at least three of her evil plots off the top of my head that involve snakes. Not to mention her affectionate interactions with the fomorroh. She likes snakes, no question

Arthur. Dogs. Though he often shafts the actual care of his dogs onto Merlin, he really does love them. He likes to play with them and go hunting with them. He just doesn’t like all the hard bits like cleaning and feeding them. Many times Merlin has caught him rolling around in the grass with his dogs and scratching their bellies and making baby-voice at them - only to awkwardly jump back up to his feet whenever anyone comes near and insist it never happened

Merlin. Unicorns. It’d be super easy to say he likes dragons, being a dragonlord, but I don’t think he views dragons as animals, per se. I mean, he’s basically a pseudo-father to one, and he probably thinks it would be harsh to think of his own pseudo-son as an animal. “Dragons are people too, Arthur!” No, he likes unicorns. The purity, innocence, and goodness of their presence is comforting to him. Seeing a good creature of magic helps remind him that magic doesn’t have to be evil, that Merlin doesn’t have to be the monster everyone thinks he is

Gwen. Cats. She’s the type of person who claims she “loves all animals”, but let’s be real - she’s not fooling anyone. Everyone knows she’s a cat person

Percival. Horses. Often times, you can find him at the stables, patting them down and talking to them. He talks more to the horses than he does to people. Gwaine, Elyan, and Merlin, the only people aside from the stable boys who know about this habit, suspect it’s because Percy’s shy. It’s often easier to connect with animals than people. In truth, it’s because horses remind him of his family, who used to breed them. But now they’re all dead, and some days it feels like horses are all he has left to remember them by

Gwaine. Gwaine’s not really one to have a favourite animal. He’s pretty indifferent, for the most part. But he can tell you what his least favourite animal is: birds. Birds seem to have it out for him, always crapping on his stuff. Yeah, well, screw birds

(Am I projecting my trauma from all the times birds crapped on me as a child, even though I never did anything to provoke them? Maybe)

Elyan. Bugs. A bit of an unorthodox response, but Elyan's a bit of an unorthodox guy. He’s liked them ever since he was a little kid, when he’d catch the biggest and wiggliest ones he could to shove down Leon’s shirt 

Leon. Not bugs.

Thanks for the ask! <3

SITS UP WITH A THUNDERCLAP OF REALIZATION

I HAVE BEEN TAGGED 27 years ago..

(by @ameliarating, thank you so much!!!)

Top 3 Ships: at the moment all i have in my brain is cql, cql and also cql, so, in no particular order:

lan wangji/wei wuxian - I MEAN. everything is here. the “why am i so attracted to you again”. the mutual “does he....? or.... not.....?” -- listen, everyone and their grandma loves to call wwx out on his idiocy re: not figuring out that lan zhan doesn’t like mianmian, but i’m just sitting here, tender and sad, over this poor stupid boy for whom “being loved” is such a goddamn foreign concept. being SOULMATES -- actual soulmates, not government fate assigned first love. us against the world! the yearning. the fact that they got another chance and a thirtysomething lan wangji, the hanguang-jun, is making heart eyes at a loon, and committing theft and minor vandalism for him. “i still am”. THE way they say each other’s names. paradoxically, the fact that they part at the end of the series, and then meet again, because now they both know they’re going to meet again and i... am just... emotional, thank

lan xichen/meng yao - 「二哥，你陪我一块儿死吧」do i. do i need to say more... they hurt me, and i love it. the contrast between how, excuse the naive words, pure and sweet they seemed at the beginning and how they were at the end is ruining me, and as much as i love to think about and read aus where things go differently and they have their happy ending, at the back of my head there’s that awareness that a lot, a lot would need to change and 99% of that lot would be my’s worldview, and that’s. well we sure wish it would happen, don’t we. but (and this is what kind of makes their story so devastating, i have a feeling) even after everything jiggy’s done, even after he literally drags lxc off to Create Chaos and Death-Causing Environment and says stay with me, let’s die together -- this could have gone differently, with lxc having a very unfun realization that it’s over now! he isn’t what he used to be! and yet. and yet, or perhaps because, he does stay, ready to die with jgy. and that’s precisely why he doesn’t, in the end. idk man, that just fucks you up on many levels!!!

can i cheat and say it’s a draw? between xue yang/xiao xingchen and jiang cheng/wen qing

the former because yeah! it’s fucked up! but at the same time, the epic romance elements are like the fattest, wiggliest worm on a hook, and i am but a stupid hungry fish. also, xue yang’s theme song. fuck that shit, man!!! (i said, adoringly)

and the latter because again, it started so innocently, and then look what happened. the fact that despite being a proud bastard and hating the wen sect, he still wanted to save her, offered her help? i die.

now that i think about it, all of these could be summed up with, like, “you’re good, and i want to keep you away from everything that could hurt you (so you could be mine and mine only)” and :-)

Tickling HC’s- the 6 main LI’s

Thank you @silviiarts for requesting this!

Asra:

10/10 would be tickled by this fluffy boi

I’d loved to be tickled by the silly feather on his hat

Has a lovely giggle that’s all sunshine and rainbows

He’d enjoy tickling you as a form of sensation play too

Julian:

He’d absolutely be the wiggliest and squirmiest

Super easy to get gasping breathlessly for air as you tickle his sensitive spots (hint: they’re everywhere pretty much)

would absolutely love to have you do sensation play with him as he’s blindfolded and/or tied up

His long fingers are also pretty good at getting a reaction out of you too

Nadia:

Nadia would adore tickling you until you were breathless

she has access to all sorts of fabrics and objects and materials too so it would never get old or repetitive

she’d love to have you lie face-down on the bed and guess what objects she was tickling you with

also would enjoy tickling you under the table with her foot tremendously and watching you try to keep a straight face in front of company

Portia:

tbh I want to tickle and be tickled by her the most

she’s so cute and soft and tbh I’d love to tickle her all over and learn which spots were the most ticklish

I can imagine that all cuddle sessions involve tickling and all tickling sessions end in cuddling

she’d absolutely wake you up gently by tickling you softly every morning

Muriel:

he’d be so confused at first like “what are you doing, what is this”

he’d be scared of it at first because he’d be worried about accidentally lashing out and hurting you

but give it enough time and you’ll be lying in bed and tickling his ticklish spots with the tips of your fingers as he melts

and he’d be nervous about tickling you in return because his fingers are so big but then his calluses feel so good on your skin

Lucio:

I’d happily tickle this dumb goat man as a tease or punishment

He’d be the whiniest, complaining the whole time but secretly loving it

He greatly enjoys Nadia’s guessing game but with the roles reversed

He likes to try and switch the script and tickle you but it’s never long before you’re back on top and he’s squirming beneath you trying to cling to his dignity
