Never mind that one is a mammal and one is an extinct reptile. Never mind that there is no proof that dilophosaurus could spit poison (that's a Jurassic Park invention).24 Apr 2026 03:04 +0000at://did:plc:f6xp3744ebkuklp3cci2ksol/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk7k5hokhk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/grizzlygirl87.bsky.social/post/3mizukpuw3s2qOn Easter Sunday, I lost my precious, spicy Quinny Bear. She was 14, asthmatic, and my ride or die kitty. I will miss her forever. And I love her so, so much. Caturday will never be the same without you, Quinn.

I thought they looked weasel-y but kind of too large for a weasel? Glove for size reference. That's a size medium adult glove.06 Dec 2025 00:47 +0000at://did:plc:f6xp3744ebkuklp3cci2ksol/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7bro5wlqc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/grizzlygirl87.bsky.social/post/3m6zmtseock2wMe: Oh, it snowed just a little bit last night.

Within ten minutes of each other this morning, I had two window strikes - a palm warbler and a pine siskin. I've got paper taped up now in the meantime, but I definitely want some Feather Friendly dots.07 Sep 2025 16:04 +0000at://did:plc:f6xp3744ebkuklp3cci2ksol/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyb2wmxkc22phttps://bsky.app/profile/grizzlygirl87.bsky.social/post/3ly4hlwnm2c24Spent some time out on the deck this morning, watching and listening. Saw a few more species than this (mourning dove, Northern flicker, female pintail ducks, and a raptor I need to identify).
