Going for the "perched" alt theme for this #birdoftheday! #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme is reflections. I need to get out and photograph more birds around water. All I have is this goose from last year. #birds #photography

Of course I had a three-day weekend of gloomy days, and now when I can't go outside and photograph any birds because I have to go to work, the morning light is gorgeous.

I've got a #birdoftheday double theme photo: a robin on a branch. #birds #photography

I guess when tumblr goes down I remember other social media exists. it's less fun out here.

Perhaps the most black and white I could possibly get for the #birdoftheday! #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme is warblers? I got lots of those! here's a recent palm warbler photo. #birds #photography

pretty sure there's a bluebird nest in that telephone pole, which is a very smart place for a bluebird nest. #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme is birds on the ground. Here are some mourning doves posing for what could be a pretty good folk-pop album cover. #birds #photography

the difficult to photograph carolina chickadee. #birds #photography

Does this count for the #BirdOfTheDay "lunchtime" theme? #birds #photography

This might be as close as I can get. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #photography

Secondary #BirdOfTheDay theme is "long beak" so here's a photo of a white ibis perched high on a tree. It doesn't seem like it belongs there. #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme: bird on a rock. #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme is "underrated" and I think pigeons are the most underrated bird, but probably a pretty popular choice for the hashtag, funnily enough. #birds #photography

please don't look at me like that. #birds #photography

I've been spotted. #birds #photography

borby northern cardinal. #birds #photography

such a sweet little face. #birds #photography

according to the feed, the #birdoftheday is a sea bird or a robin. since I have recent extra snaps of both, I'm posting both! #birds #photography

the american robin: a study in shapes. #birds #photography

dark-eyed juncos look like they'd ask you about your day and actually mean it. #birds #photography

hairy woodpecker has achieved liftoff. #birds #photography

just a little guy looking for some breakfast. #birds #photography

white-breasted nuthatch, why must you be so difficult to photograph? #birds #photography

double-crested cormorant, posin'. #birds #photography

the wonderful tufted titmouse. #birds #photography

really good shot of a northern cardinal remains elusive. if he'd juuuust turned his head a little. #birds #photography

I have to assume the birds know I have a camera now and an interest in photographing them and want to deny me the opportunity. Nothing else explains the efficiency with which they hide any time I step outside.

Northern Mockingbird scaring up some lunch. #birds #photography

despite being the most common birds in my backyard, I've yet to get a really good photo of a northern cardinal. #birds #photography

also into moon photography now, for the record. #photography #nature

and another one. #birds #addBirder #photography

hey, I'm into bird photography now. #birds #photography

peep peep peep. #birds

Apparently people don't like House Finches. I think they're marvelous. Look at that red, it's like he's glowing. #birds

I'm realizing that what I really need is an active media fandom. I'm sure that'll fix me.

The catnip plants have died.

List of things keeping me going: 1. Birds 2. The catnip plants I've managed to start growing 3. Embroidering pictures of birds.

We don't live in a world with fairness or consequences anymore. I don't know how long I'll be able to deal with this before I decide to give up.

What a lovely couple. #birds

I ended up quietly taking bird identification quizzes, by the way.

I don't like going to gatherings where there isn't a dog or a cat present. Like, what am I supposed to do here? Communicate with family members? Bad.

I want to be an expert in something so bad. Unfortunately I do not have Expert Brain. I have Soup Brain, in which everything I try to learn turns into soup.

Quote post with the first DVD you ever bought.

Yeah, that seems right for Florida.

My anxiety medication *is* working but it has the unforseen side effect of making me feel like a genius for very minor and unimpressive coding accomplishments at work.
