A sprawling storm system crossing the U.S. on Friday caused deadly crashes, overturned semitrucks and fanned dozens of wildfires in several central states, prompting evacuation orders in some towns. #Missouri saw at least nine #tornadoes, and threats of more loomed for the Mississippi Valley into the night.

Invasive house sparrows are terrible! So prolific that our poor native bluebirds really struggle. It takes gobs of time and active management to ensure a bluebird couple can establish a nest, but even then the threat isn't over. They need your help!
I use two-hole boxes. With the extra hole they can generally defend the nest. I get mine from JackQuest on Etsy. Well priced, masterfully built.
Not an AD, but he is part of my naturalist chapter. I don't get anything. I just like supporting a friend, cool dude, and bird advocate who does great work.

It is hard to believe it’s already nesting season here in the #KC ‘burbs. This fella and his pretty lady are interested in our back box. They better hurry up, because the dumb house sparrows are aggressive this season, already!
Last year it took many nest evictions and a few sparrow traps before a native couple settled in.
You know what's great about not yet being an expert in #naturalist topics?
I was sure I heard a gull yesterday. Merlin informed me it's a red-shouldered hawk. It is crazy to me how birds you think you know (from media,) you really don't know.
Don't get me started on the bald eagle...
Anyway our RS hawks are out doing their thing this morning. Beautiful!
waiting for summer
