All you Bluesky people are thoroughly lovely. Thank you for hanging out and sharing birds, bugs, sunsets and more together.

An absurdly adorable Tufted Titmouse to wish you a Happy New Year

I’ve not personally had a chance to get out from the city light pollution to try for comet sightings, but you should!

I’ve heard it’s visible with binoculars/cameras now, may be naked-eye visible in dark skies this evening or within days (peak: 21 October)
