For some reason, this species didn’t show up on the Merlin Bird App. Can any ornithologists out there help make a solid ID?
Am I the only one who hates it when the yardage markers are artificially projected onto a snowy football field? Show us what the players are experiencing. It show you how much more challenging this #weather is making the game. #NorthwesternvsIllinois @FoxSports
Tonight’s supermoon, the “beaver moon,” appears as the biggest and brightest full moon of 2025.
The moon is the closest to Earth about 221,817 miles away, roughly 2,782 miles closer than October's harvest moon, the second-largest and -brightest of the year.
Porch shadows now.

BREAKING: The NOAA aircraft that was investigating Melissa today had to leave the storm early due to "severe turbulence." Melissa is STILL intensifying.
This is extremely rare. The aircraft are BUILT for severe turbulence and extreme conditions. Melissa is truly a monster.

Big hairy deal:
“Leila’s Hair Museum, a museum in Kansas City filled with human hair displays, is closing its doors for good. It’s safe to say the new owners of the building will be changing the locks.”

Still astounding to watch the radar loop from the 3 day barrage of rainfall before and during Hurricane Helene in Western NC last year.
Next week is the one year anniversary.
Congratulations Coach Corso! As an #NIU alum who was there in 1984, I couldn’t be happier for you. @NIU_Football @espn
