No backyard birding today due to the dangerous heat x humidity--not to mention the occasional pop-up thunderstorm. No, Dear Reader, I'm cool and dry inside my tiny air-conditioned rancher, *reading* about birds 😆

Did you know there's a *woman* running an organization called Rogue Detection Teams (because everybody told her this was neither necessary nor workable) that scent-trains shelter dogs to find sensitive owl species around the world (motto: "Conservation unleashed") for research surveys?

Dog- or bird-lover, ya gotta love this one.
