I’ve come to accept I’ve seen my final second half of a primetime NFL game. No way I can stay up for this shit. Goodnight!

Sometimes when a #BirdOfTheDay decides to #StrikeAPose it's all about choosing the right background...

Lois Lane- Tell me the real murderer and you’re out of here! Jailbird- Me, sing? No way, doll. Besides, I’m guilty! The guy begged for mercy but I went in for the kill, dear. Nah- I’ll die a painful death in here – or at least act like it. #birds #nature #birdphotography #naturephotography

Closeup of Killdeer with striped, prison-uniform front, staring at camera while standing against background of prison-grounds brown. Out of frame is an egg laid within 8 feet of a walking path. Photographer moved on quickly after noticing it.

The cheeky look that says: 'I just *know* there isn't a 'Show me your bird butt pic' challenge at Blue Sky #birds today...' #birdphotography

Black-crowned night heron flashing its butt while casting a cheeky glance back at the photographer.

Bride-to-be Egret, with thinly veiled regret, looks for easy egress. Hey, the wings are right there- #mood #birdphotography #birds #choices #wedding

Great Egret standing on rocky bank of lake, looking to the side. Egret's long, gauzy feathers down the back give the vague impression of a wedding dress train.

With a forlorn nod to convention, Captain Snowy prepares to be the last to abandon ship. #mood #photography #birdphotography #birds

With a scrunched neck and 'downcast' gaze, a Snowy Egret perches on a tilted piling that looks somewhat like the mast of a sinking ship.

"Heard the buzz? That turkey of a bill may be coming to the floor Thursday. So I gotta scavenge what I can pronto. If there are any puts still on the shopping list, get em done ASAP. OK, carry on." #BirdPhotography #Politics #Congress #InsiderTrading #Birds

One turkey vulture turning its head close to another, giving the appearance of a private conversation- though it's probably just allopreening.

There's nothing quite like (over)hearing the call of the Snowy Egret. So I waited until this one got up the nerve... #Birds #Naturephotography #photography

Knowing, as I do, what rockin' these doves got up to right after this shot, it's hard to look at those bedroom eyes and not anthropomorphize... #addBirder #birds #naturephotography

Two rock doves nuzzling, one with dreamy, half-closed eyes.

You know those tests that predict your lifespan based on how long you can balance on one leg? After 30 min of watching, I can say that this one will live for-evah.

New paper: Do social media algorithms shape affective polarization? We ran a field experiment on X/Twitter (N=1,256) using LLMs to rerank content in real-time, adjusting exposure to polarizing posts. Result: Algorithmic ranking impacts feelings toward the political outgroup! 🧵⬇️

I give up too easily on quiet meditation as a de-stressor, but then I see inspiring guys like this-

Superb shot! Is there a greater contrast in the bird world between pedestrian name and stunning appearance?
