Tomorrow I will be attending (and hopefully speaking at) a special city council meeting in my town to address the public’s concerns about the recent death (ahem, not accidental) of an unhoused neighbor, James Oakley, who was crushed to death by a backhoe in one of their encampment sweeps. I am bracing myself for the what-about-ism bullshit comments and arguments I will undoubtedly hear from some of the City’s residents. I don’t know what else to be said that everyone deserves to live under a roof. Period. Everyone. Yes everyone.

Wish me luck.

A digital pencil drawing of a wren poking their head out of a birdhouse, beak open wide, as if yelling. Above and below the wren are words in speech bubbles that say, “fucking everyone deserves fucking housing. Fucking everyone!”

Sunny March mornings are great for #bird photos, especially when it comes to Grackles. I love studying all the different hues on them. There are subtypes with blue-green, purple and bronze tones in the feathers. The Blue Jays also love the sun, it makes all the intricate patterns their feathers have more visible, especially cool around the face.

A Grackle sits at the feeder and stares at the camera. The sun illuminates the feathers, making it pop against the drab dry grass in the background.

Another gorgeous Grackle shimmering in blues and greens in the March sun at the feeder. It looks down, showing the long beak.

Golden Fronted Woodpecker in Morning Light by Debra Martz
This was a first for me to capture an image of a Woodpecker using its tongue to retrieve food from the trunk of a tree. They have powerful chisel-like beaks & long, specialized tongues to help access food other birds can't.

A Golden-fronted Woodpecker is perched on the side of a tree trunk, with its beak near the bark and its tongue extended into the trunk to retrieve food. The background is softly blurred, creating a warm, golden glow that contrasts with the detailed texture of the tree bark and the bird's feathers. Photography by Debra Martz
