It's noon here in Scotland and many will be working hard on preparations for a feast! Hope it goes well for you.
For those having a quiet day here's a 'hello' from some cheerful winter robins.

The Robin clan were most munchish today. I shared some seed with them.
One gave me nothing but cRimaLLy oFeNsIve SIde-eYe, but given the situation, I get it.
It was nice seeing the orbs having a good meal.

"Songbird DNA has previously shown up in the guano of three bat species, so researchers knew these flying mammals were eating more than just insects. But how, exactly, does a bat hunt a bird? It turns out that Europe’s largest bat, the greater noctule, is a formidable aerial hunter that captures, dismembers and consumes migrating songbirds for the ultimate in-flight meal, researchers report in the Oct. 9 Science."

«Elena Tena, of Doñana Biological Station and a lead author of the study, said: “While it evokes empathy for the prey, it is part of nature.”»

Lots of juveniles in my neighborhood. Juvenile robins that is. I counted at least 9 just around the pond. More on the fences and trees.
Our new #Bird Bath has become the after work drinking joint for the local Robin population.
Here, 4 #Robins stop by for a few quick gulps of our very tasty well water. Overheard was them complaining about the bully Stellar Jay in the yard, and that big orange and white cat from across the street who is coming several times a day for a drink. One says if she sees the raccoon stealing water again, she's going to peck its %#@&! little eyes out.
And no, I did not spike the bird bath with vodka.
This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #NomNomNomNom. I came up with the following list of five recordings - I'm not sure if all of the dishes mentioned would actually qualify as "delicious food":
Wynonie Harris: I Like My Baby's Pudding (1950)

The Robins: Smokey Joe's Cafe (1955)

Amos Milburn: French Fried Potatoes And Ketchup (1956)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROdAp_ZbKMQ
Norman Fox & the Rob Roys: Pizza Pie (1959)

Sparrows you can talk to informally, like "dude" or "girl", they're fine with it.
Robins just want to be called "Robin" but you do have to figure out the pitch each one uses, it's a tonal naming system.
Cardinals, of course, should only be addressed as "Your Eminence" unless you're at an equal social standing (hint: you're not).
