Today’s primary #BirdOfTheDay theme, given to us by @alan678.bsky.social, is #CaughtInMotion. Here’s one of my favorites, the impossible-looking Black Skimmer. I’ve thrown in a Forster’s Tern with intact wingtips.

@alan678.bsky.social has suggested the #BirdOfTheDay theme should be #branchingout. Here are a few for your perusal: Savannah Sparrow, Tufted Titmouse, Eastern Wood Peewee. #birds #birdphotography #birding

Our #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social is #mostrecent (your most recent bird photo). Here’s one of the threatened Florida Scrub Jay, which I was so thrilled to spot that I didn’t care about the iffy lighting. #birds #birdphotography

@alan678.bsky.social has given us a #BirdOfTheDay theme of #contrast. Since most of our denizens work hard to blend in, I have to turn to a summer visitor, the Scarlet Tanager, to help me out here. #birdwatching #birds

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ColorfulCapture. I couldn’t decide between the Vermilion Flycatcher and the Blue Grosbeak, so I offer both. #birds #birdphotography #birdwatching

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is alternate theme of #OpenWings. #Red-tailedHawk #Birdphotography #Birdind

Well, the only #scratchersandpruners #birdoftheday I have was taken by an iPhone, but the Little Blue Heron was still fetching.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #nestbuilders. This is a female Blue-gray Gnatcatcher putting the finishing touches on its nest. I watched the pair for days until a powerful storm came through and demolished all their hard work.

Today's #birdoftheday theme set by @robcrank68.bsky.social is #BirdsOnTwigs. Here’s an Eastern Bluebird perched on a twig/stem (a sticky proposition).

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BerriesandBeaks This is a cedar waxwing about to resume its feast. #CedarWaxwing #JustOKbirdphotography #birding

America, It's Not You, It's...

Everybody seems to love green herons because they’re so photogenic. Here’s one I snapped a while ago.

People who call others “piggy” are such boars 🐗🐗🐗

please don't

Why are we so politically divided? Is it because incredibly rich powerful corrupt entities operate easier when our attention isn't on their activities, so they spend vast resources to contrive outrage and direct our focus onto pointless culture wars? Or is it because trans immigrants are too woke?

I'm old enough to remember a time when "Jewel Heist at The Louvre" might be a front page news item. But, hey... "President Post Video of Himself Wearing A Crown While Flying Jet That Dumps Diarrhea on American Citizens" is hard to jump ahead of.

I guess I’m into mimids right now. This is a Northern Mockingbird stuffing its face. Canton,GA. #birds #birding #birdphotography

Here’s a Gray Catbird I saw today. #birding #birds #birdphotography

"My threatening threats were not meant as a threat. In general, the words I say do not mean what you think they mean. If I say 'giraffe', for example, it means 'soup'. It's just a fun thing about me and hardly worth further investigation."

It’s all about the money, corporations, politicians and their bottomless greed. www.reddit.com/user/ajcnews...
