Bird of the day: European bee-eater

This bird breeds in open country in warmer climates. As the name suggests, bee-eaters predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps, and hornets. They catch insects in flight, in sorties from an open perch. Before eating a bee, the European bee-eater removes the sting by repeatedly hitting the insect on a hard surface. It can eat around 250 bees a day.

GOOD MORNING ☀️

That and a daily bird 😂

Is that you Jack?

Daily Roman Fact:

One of the Empires most ineffectual Emperors, Honorius, left the governing of the his half of the Empire to capable advisors and generals. He amused himself with various hobbies and parties. One such hobby was keeping various birds, his favorite of which was a chicken named Rome after the old capital. So enamoured with this chicken was he that when brought news that the city of Rome had 'perished' to a Visigothic army in 410AD he was besides himself with grief, thinking his pet dead. Upon finding out it was merely the namesake of the Empire and not his beloved chicken he was relieved and passed the issue onto someone else.

I agree! I’m going to start posting running stuff next week. My training season is starting up again.

Not the result I was looking for but an absolutely true statement nonetheless

I didn’t. But I’m going to start trying to get some pictures on weekends.

The only way to do it.

Now do the version for women but pretend you’re a man from Australia when you do it.

Bird of the day: Blue Jay

I absolutely love this bird. I see them all the time in Newfoundland where I’m from and they are also my favourite baseball team!

The blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is a passerine bird in the family Corvidae, native to eastern North America. It lives in most of the eastern and central United States; some eastern populations may be migratory. Resident populations are also in Newfoundland, Canada; breeding populations are found across southern Canada. It breeds in both deciduous and coniferous forests, and is common in residential areas. Its coloration is predominantly blue, with a white chest and underparts, and a blue crest; it has a black, U-shaped collar around its neck and a black border behind the crest. Males and females are similar in size and plumage, and plumage does not vary throughout the year. Four subspecies have been recognized.
