male wood Duck photographed today at Juanita Bay in Washington for the #ABCD theme of #BirdOfTheDay ( @alan678.bsky.social )

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections. Great Blue Heron, having just caught breakfast

worth noting that this woman lives in Arkansas, not DC, and is a Trump supporter

Enjoyed Paul Bannick's talks at the nppnw.org conference in Centralia WA today. Owls and woodpeckers paulbannick.com

For #BirdOfTheDay #Feathers, here is a little finch with a close up of their amazingly intricate feathers

Good feed alignment here

Even at the half.

Watching the Reign vs Summit (Denver) game at rough and tumble. Nice to have a local bar I know will 100% have the Reign on

Love the mention in the video of the Koala Pad (I had one for my C64 I think) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KoalaPad

You can see pretty clearly when the President decided to reassure a worried nation.

We were just talking about this today at work, if you *could* do the work correctly and easily, it can work out really well to have an AI tool do it for you. Especially if you then do as careful review as you would if you were doing a PR review from an external contributor. 1/2

The 4th eagle from my end-of-class project (part of a University of Washington photography class), pretty intense looking bird, that happens to be showing off their cool inner eyelid (a transparent membrane that they can close independently). Captured near La Conner, WA in February #Photography

This is my response to so many people telling me they use AI to write (1-pagers, design docs, letters, whatever). I know how to write, I consider it one of my main skills, why would I want someone to do that for me?

6th and final eagle from my end-of-class project, part of a University of Washington photography program, another early morning capture from the Skagit Valley. This time it is a juvenile bald eagle, with frost on it's feathers like the 5th one. #Photography #Birds #Eagles

I am trans and I am visible for those who aren't ready to be seen and those who refuse to see us Transitioning has brought me more joy and love in the last few years than I felt in the entirety of my life before. If seeing this helps even 1 person feel that joy & love then being visible is worth it

About to watch Dog Day Afternoon

Fifth eagle! Yet another eagle from my end-of-class project (part of a University of Washington photography class), this one, captured in the Skagit Valley on an early morning has frost visible all over their feathers. Brisk! #Photography #Eagle #Birds

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LookingAtMe, here's an eagle that is definitely trying to figure out what I'm up to. Taken next to the Yakima river #birds #fujifilm #xt5

Mature Bald Eagle…those intensely yellow eyes are an age clue…juveniles go from deep brown to shades of lighter brown and then light yellow over 5 years to maturity… #BirdoftheDay #lookingatMe #birds #raptors #BirdsofPrey #BirdsoftheWorld #WestCoastPhotography #photography #birdphotography #butdlife

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #LookingAtMe: any bird looking at the photographer. This #AmericanRobin would like to know why I am staring at its unusually prominent facial markings. #birds #photography #robin #BirdPhotography #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #nature #NaturePhotography

Go see Peaches every possible day you can see Peaches. Peaches is everything.

One of my favorite tweets remains true

I have a ton of respect for you. Please listen to experts in this space: this conversation is meaningless. AI cannot reason and cannot tell you about itself. You're having a conversation with a very advanced predictive model. The conversations to have are the ones with real, human AI experts.

This is my favorite Canada goose photo. I'd been trying to get a close-up of a goose drinking for many months, but I was never happy with the angle/lighting/water until I got this capture. laurel-gale.pixels.com/featured/can... #birds #nature #wildlife 📷

Turns out it didn't have legs

The 3rd eagle from my end-of-class project (part of a University of Washington photography program), this beautiful bird was perched above the Yakima river, captured on a beautiful Valentine's Day trip to wine country #Photography #Birds #Eagles

This is sloppy, disrespectful, and also fits into the larger pattern of using the work of independent journalists with no credit. Gillian is an extremely experienced journalist doing critical reporting and yoinking it like this is unethical and unprofessional.

Second eagle from my class project (University of Washington photography certificate), this one was perched above the Nooksack river around sunset. #photography #birds #eagle

Don't get me wrong. LLM-assisted software engineering is a useful tool that can help quite a bit with 10% or so of the work, but that remaining 90% is the hard part. 7/7

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

"I would way rather have more of The Expanse, honestly." +1 to that :)

I recently completed the winter semester of a photography class through the University of Washington, as a part of that I had to select 6 of my photos for a final project. I picked some of my favorite eagle shots, and going to post them here one at a time #photography #eagle #birds
