Had to post it twice because...................it worked out that way. 🥰
Morning Legionnaires!
50's on tap today for the high with moderate winds. All the talk of eating beans might add to the wind. Just in case you need a proctological exam to prepare for that I have an old Army buddy who could help out in the area: Field expedient Method.

Perhaps we should use that on Biden?
Just making sure he was not going to use it on me.I wouldn't grip it like that after he did! 😁
We made some meatballs out of duck breast.........they are so good we kind of save them for special meals.........cheers!Good morning from ATX. Current temperature = 38°F and clear with a light northerly breeze. Chilly. Our high expected around 64°F.
First SEC men's tournament games playing today. Glad our Cats earned a bye.
Happy Hump Day.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Never even knew they could happen much less have seen one. Not sure I would have recognized it as a cardinal without this. Thanks.Good morning D
We have 76° at the present time with winds from the South at 12 mph. Our high will reach 81° around noon. The skies have scattered clouds and chance of rain around 30% late afternoon.
This weekend starts Spring Break in some places and it is estimated as man as 520,000 spring breakers will visit THIS week-end. For the next month we will be crowded with them. Fortunately we do not get them up here. Unless they want to go gator hunting. We do not have any hotels or commercial building on our beach so no room for them.
How many yellow cardinals have you seen or met? They found one over at UF.

I have never seen one. Maybe one of our bird experts on the D can fill us inNever even knew they could happen much less have seen one. Not sure I would have recognized it as a cardinal without this. Thanks.
Well, you see, cardinals are usually red. This one is yellow. Word on the street is that it's a one in a million mutation. I think that may be an estimate though. Hope that clears it up some.I have never seen one. Maybe one of our bird experts on the D can fill us in
I am enlightened. One in a million mutation means there are not many of them around. It is what I call a rare bird.Well, you see, cardinals are usually red. This one is yellow.

I will look it up later but I suspect a mutation................the reason most of the mutations don't survive is it makes them stand out in the crowd......I would like to do some test breeding with this bird........then I could tell for sure plus who knows where the red and green feather coloring would lead to.......it hasn't been too long since the first blue budgerigar mutation and that has many new colors.....my grandparents live on KY 222 right next to WK Parkway......there was a solid white cardinal that hung around the farm house for three years before it disappeared.......it was not an albino but a white Cardinal...I am enlightened.

Rooster would know. Or Awf.
It was the University of Louisville Cardinal this winter when they chickened out of the Kentucky basketball game! A yeller Card.Well, you see, cardinals are usually red. This one is yellow.

Stayed there a long time ago for a night or two.During my working career, the company I worked with owned this hotel. The Don CeSar located on the Gulf at St Pete Beach. We held seminars and training sessions there and gathered for a week several times a year. The company saved thousands in expenses and it was like being on vacation for the employees.
It has been there a long time

Talking about hotels. Back when Trump was still president, we did a couple of small orders through a third party for a Trump property. As you know, Jan can print on shades. In addition to the order, we sent a shade with "Make America Great Again and an American flag" printed on the shade. We (nor our customer} ever got a response from it. I was kind of disappointed, but he likely never saw it.During my working career, the company I worked with owned this hotel. The Don CeSar located on the Gulf at St Pete Beach.

He'll probably chicken out.Ohh...That's just fowl.
I wonder if he'd "tweet" about it if he was successful. You know, "flock" and tell.He'll probably chicken out.

Forget the birds, I want those fish.![]()
I've already had to figure this stuff out. Bird coloration like, egg shell thickness is governed by enzyme production/metabolism controlled by hormones. A genetic mutation caused (usually something left out) likey impacted the red coloration production. Either a genetic mutation or biologic response can result in the disruption of the enzymes that inhibits creation of the red coloration, A green animal is often yellow when the blue is inhibited. I've seen this xanthochromism ( I had forgotten how to spell that) response in several species with red pigmentation. Such mutations can become recessive traits exhibited throughout the animal kingdom. AWF is dead on about natural selection a being a biological filter in the eat or be eaten nature of carbon based life.
Normal Peach-faced lovebird, inhibited red & yellow & inhibited blue

Careful, the one on the left suffers from xanthochromism. We can't be sure if it's cause is a recessive gene, or a possible biological trigger. Not safe to eat in California until further testing is complete or a Proposition is passed.Forget the birds, I want those fish.

Alex......I'll take chicken with a stick up his butt for$100.....![]()
??? My kind of bird...
Can I come to Camp Rooster sometime?![]()

The shipping on shades is outrageous. I shipped two shades that have the same top and bottom and do not nest in the box to a Florida motel as samples last week. Fed Ex charges were sixty dollars.I'd buy one!!!
Watch your waddles Lobo and stick with the guppies before messing with those dinos..Ohh...That's just fowl.
