Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Geese. Here's a feral domestic goose (they are descended from Graylag Geese) at Baylands Nature Preserve in Palo Alto, California.

Here's a Pacific Swallow outside our Cabin at Thale Noi in Phattalung, Thailand. He's a fearless little guy. For today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme of #Perched, birds standing on anything except branches.

Wow. What a beauty – and a beautiful capture. Definitely a Bird Supermodel.

Yesterday one of my favorite birds arrived for the first time this year, an #UnsungBirds (any underrated bird that needs the spotlight) – today’s alt #BirdOfTheDay theme set by @helenbennett.bsky.social. Here’s a Hermit Thrush from a couple years back – he does love a ripe Hachiya persimmon.

Nice photo Clinty1. I'd never seen this particular bird, so handsome – not a west coast USA bird, alas.

Napheesa Collier's early playoff exit means her offseason dilemma starts now

The Athletic had an article about Napheesa Collier, possibly another option (same question about team fit). But won't the Valkyries wait to see how this year plays out first? www.nytimes.com/athletic/765...

I'm pretty sure it was the 1959 movie "The Tingler."

Nice photo. It can be challenging to get everything exposed with the egrets – I hesitate to count all the photos with washed out highlights I've had to delete.
