GOOD MORNING ☀️
Bird of the day: American Oystercatcher
American oystercatchers open clams and other prey by quickly jabbing their bills inside the bivalve's shell and severing the muscle that pulls the shell halves shut. Then they eat the soft parts inside. Young chicks will dive and swim underwater to escape predators.
During the breeding season, the American oystercatcher can be found in coastal habitats including sand or shell beaches, dunes, salt marshes, marsh islands, mudflats, and dredge spoil islands made of sand or gravel.During migration and winter, they are found feeding in mud or salt flats that are exposed by the tide. They are also found on shellfish beaches at this time

Daily Roman History:
Emperor Caligula, being completely insane, had a habit of humiliating and insulting the Senate whenever possible. Some of his favorite ways was to invite them to a large party. He would then take the wives of the visiting senators to another room to have his way, while leaving the poor senator to sit awkwardly alone. Another trick he pulled was trying to apppite his favorite horse as a senator, implying he would be better at the job than them.

Daily Roman History:
Held as a paragon of virtue for the Roman people Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus showed his country what true civic virtue was. After a full career serving the Republic, capped with a year in the Consulship, he retired to his farm where he planned to spend his remaining days. However, in 458BC a neighborimg tribe broke their treaty with Rome and began an attack. They managed to get then drop on and surround the consular army raised to meet them. Desperate, the Senate appointed Cincinnatus to the role of dictator, giving him full control of the Republic. Acting quickly an army was raised from the young men of Rome and managed to surround the beseging force. Rather then slaughter them Cincinnatus granted them mercy, but made them walk under the yoke, a symbolic humbling. With the job complete, after just 15 days with absolute power, Cincinnatus relinquished his title to rutuen to his farm. Fate not being done with him yet, Cincinnatus was AGAIN appointed to the dictatorship in 439BC to deal with a senator trying to buy the people of Rome confidence and become a king. Once again an army was raised and defeated the insurgent force. And once again, after just 21 days of absolute power, Cincinnatus gave up the title and returned to his fields.

This bird looks like an absolute tank. There is a bird that kinda looks like a monkey that I think I’ll pick next. Do you have any thoughts on what bird it might be?

Daily Roman History:
Rome, for all it's eventual grandeur and breadth, started as basically a den of scum and villainy, with most of its early inhabitants being male, and bandits at that. Realizing this will eventually become an issue with the city's survival, no new births mean no new citizens, the legendary co-founder of the city, Romulus, devised a plan. Under the guise of a festival to one of the Gods nearby cities were invited to participate in the event. Sometime during the proceedings the Roman men sprung and literally stole the women, mostly from the Sabine tribe, and chased the men away. Naturally, the other tribes didn't take kindly to this and numerous confrontations were fought over the next few years, but no clear victor was ever decided. Eventually, during one such attack the captured woman came forth and called for an end to the fighting, they did not want to see their fathers and brothers killed, but now they had husbands and children in the new city and just wished for peace. This seemed to work, and the Sabines joined the Romans to form one nation, ruled by Romulus and the Sabine king Titus Tatius. The Sabine came to settle the Capitoline hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome.

I’m an eternal optimist. That’s why I bitcoin. I believe in the human collective’s ability to get it right. Decentralized systems is our only hope for freedom.

Bird of the day: Common kingfisher
Kingfishers eat mainly fish, chiefly minnows and sticklebacks, but they also take aquatic insects, freshwater shrimps and tadpoles. They close their eyes as they dive into the water, so they are fishing blind! They bob their heads before diving to accurately judge the depth of the fish.
