You would think photographing pelicans at sunset would get old after a while, but I’m here to tell you: it does not 🌅🪶

Brown Pelicans, San Simeon CA, September 2025

The fact they could get that many New Yorkers to willingly go to Times Square just shows the severity of this situation.

I remade my sign from the last No Kings march that got stolen, but unfortunately my body decided to stage a revolt this month and I spent most of the last week in the hospital (I am fine), which means I have to stay home today, and I am bummed

Long-billed Curlew, San Simeon CA, September 2025

A Long-billed Curlew - a large shorebird with a long neck and a very long curved bill - trotting on the sand where the water has just receded. The bird is facing the camera, but their face is turned slightly to the left

Literal summary of my week

A still from the cartoon “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” featuring two kids dressed as ghosts, in white sheets, holding brown paper bags. The ghost on the left has 2 eyeholes; the ghost on the right (Charlie Brown) has several holes in his sheet, and is holding up a rock. Text over the image says “I got a rock”

They also brought a surprise bird for me, specifically - a cockatoo named Handsome, and yes he is fully aware that he lives up to that name.

Handsome hung out on my arm for a while and we took a lot of selfies, but this is the best picture I took of him 🤍
