Did I just get humbled today. I have a great friend in the UK whom I have known for years. A serviceman returned from service in conflicts. Great guy, love him. He started detecting a few yrs ago as something to take his mind off of things and loved it. Beach and just easy stuff.
He isn't on this site, iv known him personally for yrs though.
Just recently his wife was diagnosed with a turbo cancer, recent thing for those that have no symptoms then "hit" with a diagnosis of weeks to live and so it was. Oh man, this guy is gold as a person. Just heard he had a really bad stroke just 2 weeks after her passing, wont be able to walk again, cant use his arms properly and will be electronic wheel chair bound. He only let us his friends know from his daughter typing what he wanted us his friends to know. It blew me away, my misses and me had tears in our eyes reading the message.
My problems just vanished into insignificance into the distance.
 

Good morning everyone.

I met a little House Finch yesterday. It was standing below the bird feeder out in the rainy drizzle, sleeping. It didn't seem concerned about me at all, but it soon became apparent that it could not fly. I thought maybe it was injured or sick, so I took it into the shed out of the mist and wind and gave it some seeds. It ate a couple and then went back to sleeping. Unfortunately it did not survive the night. But at least he had a good meal and didn't have to stand out in the rain. He has been returned to the forest. Here he is napping when I first found him.

Well it installed directly from treasurenet.com
That looks to me like a web shortcut. I have one just like that on my phone -- it's not an app at all, just a shortcut to open Treasurenet in a web browser. If it isn't working, it's something local to your phone, not Treasurenet.

Good morning.☕️ Robert, the house finches have an interesting story. A flock was captured in CA in the 40s. Shipped to east coast to sell illegally in a pet shop. The authorities found out and the pet shop owner released them to avoid jail. They survived and started breeding. The new population began moving west as their numbers increased. The new population finally met with the original population in the SW not too many yrs ago. Unfortunately, the new population was founded with only 44 members. The new population suffers from inbreeding and is susceptible to a virus. It’s very common to see them sick and dying. Only a small percentage get the virus.
