The natural law enjoins us to love devotedly and to defend the country in which we were born, and in which we were brought up, so that every good citizen hesitates not to face death for his native landรขโฌยฆ. We are bound, then, to love dearly the country whence we have received the means of engagement this mortal life affords
— Pope Leo XIII, Sapientia Christiana Encyclical

Onshore wind farms should be required to paint their turbines in something similar to this manner and place kill stickers on them so that people and Leftists know the true cost of ecologically friendly, sustainable power generation. ๐ฟ
But, it’s not like any of the Left will really care that much. After all, “Global Warming” has never really been about cooling the planet or being more “Green.” It’s always been just a front and con used in attempt to drag down the Civilized World so that there’d be more Equity.

Yeah, funny thing that. Crows and ravens are always the birds associated with Halloween, but’s it’s the Shrike, Loggerhead or otherwise, that’s sick, twisted seeming bird in the natural world.
So, have a happy Halloween… but watch out for them shrikes. ๐

Back in 2014, Colorado completely legalized the use, sale, and growing of marijuana, the latter both by individuals and by commercial/agricultural concerns. This was hailed as a landmark in “progress,” both by the ever-drug-loving Leftists and many Libertarian sorts. And, indeed, there seems to have been little, if any, human damage or negative consequences caused by Colorado’s drug experiment.
But What About The Ecological Consequences?
With marijuana now growing all around The Centennial State, it follows that mice, rats, voles, rabbits, and various varieties of squirrels will be eating the seeds and some of the vegetation. This would both end up concentrating the cannabinoids in those prey species’ tissues, and make them both more unaware and sluggish. Hence, those rodents and similar prey animals would be easier for various predators to catch and consume.
So yeah! Stoner owls – owls both primarily subsisting upon small, terrestrial prey and being a major predator thereof – look likely to be an unforeseen, probably negative, ecological consequence of Colorado’s legalization of the use and growing of marijuana.
