The displays have started.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report has been forwarded to the Attorney General who has yet to release anything to Congress or the public. Meanwhile cable news network talking heads and panels are spinning without knowing. Or are they?

Here in west central Missouri this morning a large and very pushy group of Grackles descended on the bird seed out back, pushing out other feeding birds and pushing around each other.

Grackle. Quiscalus quiscula.
F 5.6, 1/1000 ISO 1600, 400 mm.

Just one too many times:

Grackle. Quiscalus quiscula.
F 5.6, 1/1000 ISO 1600, 400 mm.

Unlike the cable news network talking heads, at least this Grackle is getting something worthwhile out of his display.
