Good morning beloved Newdists. How was your week? I’ve been binging on Agatha Christie’s Poirot on BritBox in the evenings. They’re really so good. We’re slated to get some freeze, sleet and snow soon. I getting ready to make a big batch of soup.

Lets begin —

Life skills of the highest kind —



Documentation is so fun.

Mum and kit in a travel pack.

x We have had an abundance of #mountainlion visits in the past few weeks. Plenty of deer in the area, so the predators follow. Here a mom & her grown cub (with full bellies) sit for 4 min. in front of this #trailcamera (condensed to 15 sec.) #natureisawesome #cougar #bigcats 🦁🐾 pic.twitter.com/wJ2zMWGIp7 — Viv K (@viv_iam) December 22, 2024



Yellow.



So much singing and joy.

Earth makes art.

x Lake Cakora, located near Brooms Head in New South Wales, Australia, has gained attention for its remarkable "Tree of Life" pattern, visible from above.

That blue. Astonishing.

x The mountain bluebirds are calling, and I must go.



These small, sky-blue chested birds with dark eyes and beaks love the open spaces of the West and can be easy to spot on elevated perches, like this branch.

Me too!

x While winter has its charm, I long for spring when the Summer Tanager returns. These vibrant birds are aerial hunters, snatching bees and wasps mid-flight. Yes, we need all the bees we can get, but this bird is not that pollinator's biggest threat. #birds #nature #wildlife pic.twitter.com/JXtQEaMl4K — Jim Pottkotter (@HappyPixr) December 22, 2024

Are you looking forward to snow covered trees in your area?

Droning of a certain kind can be soothing.

Wow.

x As promised, here is one more medieval crown to help you kick off your weekend 👑



This one is particularly special, as it just so happens to have belonged to an absolute political powerhouse -- and one of my favorite medieval women:

x Did you know? Some bird species, like the Ovenbird, Potoo & Tinamou, exhibit "thanatosis" or death feigning - playing dead when sensing danger! This clever tactic helps them escape predators. #Birds #Wildlifepic.twitter.com/rK9cRXAX56 — Liberta Cherguia 🇪🇺 (@MbarkCherguia) January 3, 2025
