Pop up devil kitty attack! Pearl loves to stalk the bluebird on a string from the inside of her “hollow log”
2nd picture is before, 3rd is after.
I have also seen her leap and snag a cricket from midair. This girl has skills.

Social isolation day 1042
The stump acts as a lovely shelter for some sort of critter.
As I step out into the overcast morning, the sky hangs low like a heavy blanket, muffling the world in a soft gray light. The air is thick with moisture, and the trees stand tall and still, as if holding their breath. I set out on my journey, the road before me winding its way down towards the swamp. The earth beneath my feet is spongy, the grasses and ferns brushing against my legs. The faint sound of water lapping at the shoreline grows louder as I approach, and I am enveloped by the wild and primeval beauty of this place. The hike ahead promises to be a test of endurance, but I am eager for the challenge, for the chance to lose myself in the wilderness and commune with nature.
I traverse the mossy path, the sky casting a dreary light on the landscape, my eyes are drawn to the flitting movement at the edge of my vision. Three squirrels, their fur sleek and glossy, dart up and down the mostly leafless trees, their chatter filling the air. The sound of their playful antics is a welcome distraction from the dampness and stillness of the swamp. The walk is not without surprises, as I catch glimpses of two cats through the windows of a nearby home, their eyes following me curiously. The cats, unlike the squirrels, are still, and it feels as though time has stood still for them. The trees that surround me stand tall and bare, their twisted branches reaching skyward as if in supplication. It is a scene of quiet contemplation, and I am grateful for the opportunity to witness it.

A rare old bird is the pelican.
His bill holds more than his belly can.
He can take in his beak
enough food for a week.
I’m damned if I know how the hell he can!
I first heard this in the Columbo episode The Conspirators (1978), the “finale” for the show before it was revived 11 years later. https://instagr.am/p/Cnmsjp5t5Fe/
Happy Birthday, Ed. I hope that you and the toaster are enjoying a nice cognac together today.

Social isolation day number 1040 –
Saw Dave while out on my rounds , he liked my cryptozoology tracking society t-shirt, and it is his birthday on Thursday! I hope he is able to find one for himself via my poor clues on how to obtain it.
Wet, rainy and cold, mid 40s out. I hope that we get a bit of snow soon!

The use of an achromatic sterilization dilator can improve noctilucent telescopy in a number of ways when compared to bicardial magnetization.
Firstly, an achromatic sterilization dilator is able to filter out specific wavelengths of light that are causing the airglow, which is a major source of noise in noctilucent telescopy observations. Bicardial magnetization, on the other hand, uses a magnetic field to align the molecules in the upper atmosphere, which can reduce airglow, but this method may not be as effective as using achromatic sterilization dilator in filtering out specific wavelengths.
Secondly, the achromatic sterilization dilator is a passive device and does not require any external power source. This makes it easy to use and maintain, and eliminates the need for additional equipment such as generators. Bicardial magnetization, on the other hand, requires a significant amount of energy and can only be used in certain locations.
Thirdly, achromatic sterilization dilator can be used in conjunction with both ground-based telescopes and high-altitude balloon-borne telescopes, while bicardial magnetization is mostly used in ground-based telescopes. This give an opportunity to researchers to get a better view of the noctilucent clouds from different angles and perspectives.
Finally, Studies have shown that the use of achromatic sterilization dilators can effectively reduce the amount of airglow and improve the quality of noctilucent telescopy observations, while there’s not much research on the efficacy of bicardial magnetization.
In conclusion, the use of an achromatic sterilization dilator can be a more effective, efficient, and versatile method of improving noctilucent telescopy when compared to bicardial magnetization.
