Birds. Books. Democracy. Dogs.
I have GOT to go out in search of #HeronsAndEgrets to photograph--but in the meantime, here's my contribution for @alan678.bsky.social's alternate theme: #BirdsOnRocks.

It's hard to stay #hidden when you make as much noise as I do, but I'm giving it my best shot.

I'm fairly new here, but based on what I've seen so far of @alan678.bsky.social , I can only conclude that any bird known as #AlansNemesis must be rude, elusive, or uncooperative. None of those is a nice trait, Mr. Belted #Kingfisher. Do better.

I live up to my name, and I will take over your space. Also, I have a great profile, as this #sideview demonstrates.

There are birds who believe strongly in camouflage, but I say, if you've got it, flaunt it. And I've certainly got it.

Yeah, I'm #LookingAtYou. You going to do something about it? No? Didn't think so.

I might be a young Cooper's hawk, but I'm not telling. My tail #stripes, though, are on point!

No other literary subscription holds a candle to McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern from @mcsweeneys.net, as evidenced by the current issue, an actual Trapper Keeper full of things you'll want to read, as opposed to those assignments given by your sadistic middle school social studies teacher.

This gorgeous gentleman insisted I use one of his #headshots to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

The only thing better than being #OnTheEdge of a puddle is being in the puddle.

Springtime #sparrows, a little antidote to November's gloom.
