This little bufflehead duck cracked me up. They only stopped by our lake briefly during their migration this year, but they always look as if they're having a lot of fun.

CBC'Elbows up Canada:' Windsor community protests U.S. in cross-border rally | CBC NewsThe message from hundreds who rallied at Windsor's riverfront on Saturday was clear: Canada is strong and proud. But there was also disappointment and disillusionment about the rhetoric of the U.S. administration toward its closest ally.
Trout season opens near me next Saturday. The closest spot is this 1.5-2 acre pond in a county park. Trout are catch and keep as the water will be too warm for them live through the summer. Didn't see any "risers" This pond also has bass, catch and release only.
The nearest stream trout fishing is in the Driftless Area of IL, WI, & Iowa near Galena. Good trout water in north Wisconsin & U.P. Michigan, too.

“It really shows that we have a unique place in #Michigan where someone has a chance to see a #wolf, a #moose & a #cougar in the #wild. It’s something that should be celebrated, that we have the #habitat to support an elusive animal like this,”Roell said.
The cubs were spotted & photographed without their mother. #CougarCubs are highly dependent on their mothers, often staying with them for the first two years of life.

This is the first time #CougarCubs have been verified since the big cats were hunted out of existence in #Michigan in the early 1900s, said Brian Roell, large carnivore specialist for the MDNR. Roell, a #wildlife biologist for 26yrs, led the team that verified the cubs.
“It’s pretty exciting, considering this could be the first known cougar reproduction in modern times in the western #GreatLakes states,”said Roell, referring to Michigan, Wisconsin & Minnesota.
For the first time in >100 years, #cougar cubs have been discovered living in the #Michigan #wild.
State biologists on Wednesday confirmed the existence of 2 #CougarCubs on private land in Ontonagon County in the western #UP. The spotted cubs, believed to be 7–9 weeks old, were verified from photographic evidence of the cubs taken March 6 by a local resident.

"Throw these bums out": #AOC and #BernieSanders take their campaign against "#oligarchy" out west
Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders addressed thousands at their "#FightingOligarchy" tour stops in #Nevada and #Arizona
Sanders: “We will not allow you to move this country to an oligarchy. We’re not going to allow you and your friend Mr. Musk and the other billionaires to wreak havoc on this country. We’re not a poor country. There is no excuse on God’s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.”

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders hit the road this week to rally Democrats to fight back against President Donald #Trump and billionaire Elon #Musk’s 'move to an oligarchy.'
"The Vermonter and New Yorker each brought their #ProWorker stump speeches to the #southwestern purple states on Thursday, day one of a three-day tour.
"The pair's #LasVegas stop drew over a thousand people, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, with supporters chanting 'primary Chuck' during AOC’s speech, referring to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. In #TempeArizona, the duo addressed a crowd of more than 15,000 between an arena and overflow attendees outside, the senator said on social media.
"Speaking in #Arizona, Sanders, whose 'Fighting Oligarchy Tour' has already touched down in #Wisconsin and #Michigan, homed in on the #billionaires he says are tightening their grip on the country."
