Let’s #FallBack 6 months and remember the warmth and light of June

Somehow I can not remember at all where this is. It’s from 2019 which feels like a thousand years ago. Usually I remember all my trips and locations but this one is a mystery!

Happy Solstice! Not a fan of the dark, so always happy to reach the point where days start getting longer. Spring is just around the corner for those of us in the Northern hemisphere, so here's a happy chickadee for today's #ArtAdventCalendar

I was flipping through the car radio and heard familiar voices. It was @rosemarymosco.com and @corinanewsome.bsky.social talking about birds! A thoroughly enjoyable listen.

CHECK OUT THE SECOND SHOT! It’s incredible! #birds
The bird on the top has a nice fish. The bird underneath tries to steal the fish. The bird with the fish drops the fish when it knows it's being attacked by the fish thief. A little bit of drama. This encounter was far away, so grainy, but fun to witness and capture.

If you ever get the chance to visit some Long-tailed Ducks I definitely recommend it. They are fabulous! (Found in winter on the northern coasts of North America and the Great Lakes)
