the worst thing about protests is you're reminded of this guy's existence as he torturously tries to categorise a Big Bird costume as a dastardly antifa weapon

Weather changing in central Florida, able to get out and about today for the first time after a long hot humid summer!

Green Heron, Blue-Tailed Damselfly, and hungry Limpkin all on tap this morning. Capture of water surface tension action.

Does anyone else suffer from a birding hangover the day after Migratory Bird Day/October Big Day?! Ah, but it was worth the long hours in the field!
#Birds, #BirdsSeenIn2025, #Ecuador
Hook-billed Kite, Cocoi, Anhinga, and one mystery bird. Can anyone help with its ID?

I spent some time with the young Agami Herons yesterday at Agami Island #costarica

So many youngsters are still around the colony, busy fishing in the canals. The adults are long gone now and the kids are own their own.

Little blue heron, not blue #birds

Little blue heron standing on a pile of twisted branches. Despite her name, every feather on this bird is white. The bird’s back is to the camera and her head is turned to the right. She is a tall wading bird with long yellow-green legs and an S-shaped neck and a daggerlike bill. Some webby stuff, perhaps a spider web, clings to her beak, which is pale with a dark tip.

Walking up on a heron quietly looking for a snack is a stop in your tracks experience no matter how many times it happens. It's #StunDay Sunday. What have you got that's stunning.

The social media soft launch of a dying relationship:

1) a few strained couple photos at work/family events, then
2) a period of quiet, followed by close-up photos of random objects, then
3) friend dates, and a renewed interest in work, then
4) sexy gym selfies, looking rejuvenated.

The social media soft launch of a new boyfriend:

1) a few selfies looking rejuvenated, then
2) one-sided photos of dinners and trips that suggest the presence of another person, then
3) an official couple photo, buried in an Instagram carousel of moments. “My life was garbage before you, Stefan!”

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that
