As Susan pointed out, Mitch's hair has been white for awhile.  But in the "new" photo, it's gray...suggesting it's from awhile back.  To illustrate, here's a photo from 6 February 2025:

Robin's Nest Pre-Storm Upgrade

With severe thunderstorms and winds of 70+mph predicted, I gave the Robin's nest an upgrade, adding wide-ribbon ties around the wreath, and securing it to the trellis behind. Then I added a silk scarf as a "seatbelt" for the nest itself. 

Mama Robin didn't seem to mind at all.

Huh?

Walking out of the local hardware store, an older gentleman held the door for me.  As I was carrying bags of birdseed, I thanked him.  But as I passed him, I noted his cap read TRUMP.  Ugh.  Then I saw his vehicle.  It was a Dodge Ram, sitting not in a parking spot, but right where people need to turn in off the road.  No one was in the truck...and it was still running.
