Today's #science experiment with the boy: dissecting a turkey bone to see the marrow where new blood is made!
TFW the doctor tells you your shoulder bone is dissolving because you lift weights too much.

Not a bird, but when I was chasing down the Pileated Woodpecker, I came across this very sleepy squirrel and had to take a photo.
This was right around noon, so I'm guessing he had a big lunch...
I also found this male and female Eastern Bluebird pair hanging around by a nest near the river.
I have no idea if it's accurate, but in my head they are a breeding pair guarding or establishing a nesting location (though maybe they tried it out in college and it didn't work out, so now they're "just friends").
I also got my first picture of a Pileated Woodpecker just the other day — then I saw two more directly in my back yard this morning!
They are surprisingly big...
