This year, once again, I produced a wall calendar with my bird photos. These pictures were all taken in 2025 in Texas, Ohio, and Wisconsin, mostly during the spring bird migration. #birdphotography #giftideas #calendar #calendar2026 #birds

Went to the #NoKings Rally & March in Austin. Rally at the state capitol, march down Congress Street to Auditorium Shores, and then more rally. HUGE turnout in spite of the 92 degrees and sunny weather. Congress Street was packed for a mile with large supportive audience standing on the sidewalks.

I was still shocked to see this at the top of a Treasury Department webpage. This is illegal. This is a government department, that is supposed to be non-political, taking a political position. It says something far more negative about the poster than it does about their target.

Sorry, I don't think black people get off that easily. Look at the data. The shift in black voters from D to R in 2024 election was HUGE.

Recently arrived in #Japan, for a 1 month stay. I didn't bring the long lens but have managed a few #birdphotos, anyway. Like many things in Japan, crows here are slightly different than elsewhere. Among other things, they sound different. This is a jungle crow (I think). #lifer #birds #photography
