American Goldfinch at Greenbury Point.

I stayed close to home today, and started at Sandy Point. I did see a nice Fox, but not a single bird worthy of  a photo.

Greenbury Point is only 10 minutes away, so I headed there next in hopes of finding some butterflies or early migrants.

I did see a few of the usual butterflies, and bird activity was better than usual, but I didn’t find anything really interesting.

This statement was censored by Facebook.

I posted the statement below i response to an “All news is fake news” post, and FB says: “This comment goes against our Community Standards on hate speech.” That is wayyyyy overboard.

What do you think?

“The news is just fine-better than ever, in fact because it’s so much easier to fact-check. I notice that you “Fake News” folks never post any verifiable such news from legitimate sources. Could it be because IT DOESN’T EXIST? Any mainstream source that published false or misleading news would be out of business in a hurry, unless it had a loyal audience of uneducated, brain-dead white trash. Third party votes are stupid. In most cases they are wasted votes.”
