"We are friends"
Какой-то совсем удивительный shameless shit. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vdinets говорит, что это не great crested flycatcher. Я не понимаю почему. По-моему, например, вот здесь идентичная птичка, и это именно great crested flycatcher.
Эту запись прочитают многие специалисты по птичкам, скажите, что вы думаете об этом.
В любом случае, вот я ее сегодня еще раз сфотографировал. В этот раз она прямо в этом дупле сидела.
Что касается той птички, фотографии которой я вчера запостил.In the visa line yesterday I met this fine young boy and girl. They are Kenya Chess Champions! Although a trip to the US was not possible this time I reminded them that They Are Champions & we are friends! This is the future of Kenya. #USAmarafiki pic.twitter.com/TxSjAVcUPF

На нашего Western Kingbird похож, кстати.
А какие еще есть альтернативные варианты?

С Western Kingbird ее тоже можно спутать с первого взгляда, но если присмотреться, у кингберда голова должна быть однородно серая (а у этой темная шапка) и клюв короче.

Адекватный в рамках республиканской партии.
He filed a bill in 2011 that would allow Catholic charities to discriminate against gay and lesbian couples and unmarried couples in adoption and foster care placements. The following year, McCarter worked successfully to defeat an anti-bullying bill because, he said, it would promote homosexuality. “Some of these programs are very good. They indeed encourage kids not to bully,” McCarter said. “But there are programs throughout the United States, used in some high schools and universities, that really have just a pro-homosexual agenda, and nothing but that.”
McCarter was one of only 11 of 59 state senators in 2015 who opposed a bill to fund treatment for heroin addicts. His vote came even though McCarter’s daughter, Amber, died in 2006 of an overdose of heroin and fentanyl. The Tea Party-backed senator explained his vote, “I voted against the program because the state is broke and doesn't have $60 million for a new program. But more importantly, I don’t think these government-sponsored programs work.” He subsequently opposed the introduction of medical marijuana.

В Кении посол поддерживает строительство китайцами угольной электростанции, потому что уголь, как известно, чистейший источник энергии.
Kenyan judges have halted plans to construct the country's first ever coal-powered plant near the coastal town of Lamu, a Unesco World Heritage Site.
The National Environmental Tribunal ruled that authorities had failed to do a thorough environmental assessment.
Critics say the plant would have dire economic and health effects on locals.
The Chinese-backed power station would increase the country's greenhouse gas emissions by 700%, activists say.
They warn that construction of the 1,050 MW coal-fired plant near Lamu - a 14th Century idyllic tourist spot - would put its protected status at risk and ruin livelihoods of the locals. <...>
If the project goes ahead, Kenya will have to import the coal, which goes against its ambition to use clean energy.
At least two-thirds of Kenya's electricity is currently generated by renewable resources and it has pledged to reduce its small carbon footprint by nearly a third over the next decade.

Но ещё более беззастенчиво интересы угольной промышленности поддерживает новый представитель США в ООН.
The email went out from senior Environmental Protection Agency officials to Kelly Craft, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, responding to questions she had about a funding matter.
But the acknowledgment email the EPA got back a few hours later wasn’t from the ambassador. It was from her husband, coal magnate Joseph Craft, a wealthy GOP donor who had been taking part in a months-long press by the coal industry for access and regulatory relief from the EPA and the Trump administration in general.
The blurring of roles — and email accounts — by the Crafts this time and others since she began representing the U.S. is raising questions as senators consider her nomination by President Donald Trump to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. That post would give her a prime seat at international talks to fight climate change, in part by encouraging limits on the burning of coal, with its heat-trapping emissions.
