According to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, Snowy Egrets eat fish, crayfish, crabs, snakes, insects, frogs, shrimps, snails, and vegetation found in the water.
Snowy Egrets (Egretta thula) are small white herons.
A Snowy Egret is much smaller than a Great Egret. Also, Snowy Egrets have black bills while Great Egrets have yellow-orange ones. Another notable difference is that Great Egrets have black colored feet but Snowy Egrets have yellow colored feet.

Father's Day weekend is on Sunday, June 18th, 2023. Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June in the United States.
History.com says that Father's Day started after a West Virginia church sponsored a Sunday sermon - the first national event "explicitly in honor of fathers..." The one time event honored the men lost in the 1907 Monongah mining disaster.
The year after, Sonora Smart Dodd successfully campaigned to make Father's Day a statewide holiday in Washington on June 19, 1910.
Father's Day became a national holiday in the United States in 1972.
Stay up to date on the Philippine election of 2022 with live updates from the New York Times.
The presidential election puts the son of Ferdinand Marcos (Bongbong Marcos) up against Leni Robredo - the two main candidates.
UPDATE: on May 13th, 2022 Leni Robredo admitted to defeat in the 2022 Philippine presidential election. In her speech, given at Ateneo de Manila University, she did not mention her opponent by name.
The election results were called into question after allegations of buying votes and ballot machine malfunctions. Disinformation and corruption have long been a part of the Philippine political landscape & Robredo mentioned the “massive machinery to spread hate and lies,” in her speech.

The 1922 Peace Dollar was designed by Anthony de Francisci, an Italian-American sculptor. It has the highest mintage amounts out of any Silver Dollar to date.
When were the Peace Dollars circulated?
The Peace Dollar coins were circulated from 1921 to 1928, 1934 to 1935, and once again in 2021.
How much is the 1922 Peace Dollar worth?
It depends on a number of different factors including: the current price of silver, market supply and demand, its grade/condition, where it was minted, and the relief.
On average, a typical circulated 1922 Peace Dollar will net you around $25-30 dollars today. I sold the one pictured above recently on eBay.

Many hummingbird species spend their winters in Mexico and Central
America. In the Spring, when the temperatures begin to rise, they
migrate North. Around this time of the year, a lot of the United States
will notice an increase in the prevalence of hummingbirds. You may notice more hummingbirds as early as February. According to the U.S. National Park Service, the Spring Hummingbird migration is closely related to when native plants begin to flower.
Hummingbird wings can flap their wings up to 80 times per second and fly up to 23 miles in a single day! They travel during the day when it is easy to spot flowers and other food sources like insects. According to the U.S. National Park Service a hummingbird's heart can beat up to 1,260 times per minute. It is not uncommon for a hummingbird to double its weight before migration.
As the temperatures begin to fall, many hummingbirds migrate to areas of warmer temperatures. The Rufous Hummingbird travels up to 3,000 miles from Alaska to Mexico in the summertime, which is the longest known migration route. Unfortunately, the Rufous Hummingbird is listed as 'Near Threatened' due to habitat loss.

My dad didn’t waste a minute because he, more than most people, knew that any minute could be his last. He told me when he was diagnosed with B Cell Lymphoma that I have to keep going. That’s what he did. He could have called it quits many times, and nobody would have blamed him, but he kept on swinging. To the best role model anyone could ever have, I love you and miss you.
