Good morning, Newdists. How are you all doing?
Some housekeeping news first — sibling has to travel for work, as does his wife. I have to go be with my mom and hold down the fort. I’ll be gone from March 11th to March 25. Diaries will be in queue.
Saw in the news today that Norovirus and Shigella are now upon us.
gah!!!!!!
Are viruses becoming more prevalent? Or is it that we are beginning to be more aware of them? Both. Of course.
I’m so tired of viruses. I had a terrible time wrapping my head around this new news.
*sigh*
These suckers cannot be vanquished by soap and water and require bleached solution. I’m writing of kitchen counters.
So, now I’m washing everything in the dishwasher. There I was, wearing gloves, and conserving water by washing things out of one sink in hot soapy water, and drying in the other sink. No more.
Okay, en avant:
Your Cafe kitteh!
Critters galore!

South Plateau chick's first skycall.
After an early visit this morning by another chick's parent, #RoyalCam chick did a beautiful skycall.
Well done chick, the first of many more to come.

x I went into see the mighty Flaco again today, so stunning. Other birds were harassing him, he was hooting at them. You can hear his faint hoot right before the end of the video. How cool is that. 😊. Central Park. pic.twitter.com/f5tXbTRZVQ — Tony Fanning (@Tparkslope) March 4, 2023
x Babies on board! Some great horned owl nests are starting to feel a little more crowded. Great horned owls typically lay 1-4 eggs and incubate them for about 30 days. Young remain in the nest for about 42 days before fledging.

That tongue goes bonkers. #TwitterNatureCommunity pic.twitter.com/Q9f6P1eB1D — Roppity Photography (@RoppityPhotos) February 27, 2023

I didn't expect to see Swiffer, the skunk, in the garden when I checked camera cards this morning.
Last time we had a skunk in the garden was August 2022.

The Painted Sky
x About last night. Central Washington east of Lake Chelan I got to to witness the most incredible display of northern lights I’ve ever seen! I hope you all enjoy this shot, I have plenty more coming! #solarstorm #Aurora @ShannonODKOMO #wawx pic.twitter.com/YsLdozQBKu — mark stewart (@StewarrMark) February 28, 2023
x It may be just a reflector and has to share the night sky with the stars, but give it a few seconds of exposure and the moon can give some lens flare and light up the night even when it is not full #MontanaMoment pic.twitter.com/9cDQtnfZGb — Leon Kauffman (@LeonKauffman) March 4, 2023
