There should be a parade going through soon. I might have to make some time to watch it this year. It's been a long time since I've watched any parade, and it feels like it's been even longer.

Happy Fourth of July.

this steller’s jay was spotted in california. normally, steller’s jays have a deep blue body, with a black head and neck. this bird has leucism, a genetic mutation that causes a reduction in pigments. it can present in many different ways; some birds have white patches and a ‘pied’ look, while others look faded like this bird. x
