Vocal, Active, Acrobatic. Three words that nicely capture the Tufted Titmouse. Sadly, the last of the Paridae that I have in my photo Library. These are lowland birds, that are common in the eastern half of US. Fun to watch and work with as you hike around the trails in the woods. They will follow along, talking to you as they forage for food - mostly insects (amazing to see them take on a spider) but will also eat nuts and seed. Common in our area, and a common visitor to our feeders.

Volunteer workday today. Not sure what we will be doing so will load up most of the tools. Tuesday nearly finished me off, so hopefully something a little lighter today.

Small gray bird - gray wings and upper body, the underpants are mostly light grey, but with light tan sides. The crest is gray, land the cheeks are lighter grey. The eyes are black as is the short bill and the lores. The bird has a large acorn (almost too large to hold) that it will crack by repeated pounding with its beak. They will take peanuts as well.

What is #Palantir? And why is this corporation so dangerous?

The company conducts #MassSurveillance in the service of #StateViolence, from #ICE’s #deportation machine to the #genocide in #Gaza.

By Kenny Morris, Feb 11, 2026

" #PeterThiel is a central co-founder of Palantir. He is a #billionaire venture #capitalist, conservative libertarian, and an early investor in Facebook who made much of his money from founding PayPal. According to Theil, 'I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.

How can we stop Palantir?

" #AFSC has joined a collective of #ImmigrantRights groups, #PalestineSolidarity organizations, #EnvironmentalJustice advocates, #LaborUnions, and many others working to hold Palantir accountable and stop its expansion into our lives. You can join us by finding or organizing a local group to pressure our universities, hospitals, and other institutions to cut all ties to Palantir.

"Visit our #PurgePalantir campaign page to:

- Contact the leadership of hospitals, universities, and other corporations using Palantir to urge them to #divest from the company.
- Find a map of Palantir offices, some of its corporate clients, and elected officials who have received money from Palantir. Use it to find where the company is in your community and plan an action to challenge it.
- Are you a health care worker? You can join organized nurses and doctors across the U.S. pushing the surveillance company out of our hospitals [and the #NHS in the #UK].

"Learn more about the company and join the growing campaign to stand up to Palantir."
