I may have just convinced the owner of a storage facility in rural California to look into having barn owl boxes installed on the property, and ditching the rodenticide bait boxes 🦉

I have been extremely absent from BlueSky lately, and it’s nothing personal against BlueSky, I have just been extremely busy with work, and then there was an owl in Central Park, so you know, priorities 🦉

Another unsatisfied customer 😤 (she bonked her head on a window and then tried to fight me when I rescued her lol) #birds

Looking down into a brown paper bag - at the bottom of the bag is a tiny bird - a Common Yellowthroat, though all we see from this angle is her olive back and one little leg sticking out to the side.

I was in the park earlier looking at something through my binoculars and a man walking by said to his friends “fall migration is here, so the birdwatchers are out,” referring to me like I was a seasonal zoo exhibit 😭

As a former high school football player, I say every boy should be doing musical theater. It teaches insight, action, teamwork, mental agility, and communication. (I did, and occasionally still do, theater too.)

Eclipse rained out in Astoria tonight ☹️ Moon rise good in Astoria last night 🌝 Almost-full Moon, 8.26.26

A an almost-full yellow moon hides behind silhouetted tree branches in a dark gray-blue sky

The same almost-full moon, now rising from behind the silhouetted tree branches. The moon is in focus, the branches are not. The moon is bright with just a slight warm tint; the sky is dark blue

The same almost-full moon, almost clear of the tree branches; one out of focus end of a branch covers part of the bottom 1/3 of the moon. The sky is even darker blue in this picture

The same almost-full moon, now above the tree branches, which are just barely visible in the very dark navy sky. An almost imperceptible haze surrounds the moon

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.

Not to be a bitch, but if you’re sick, you need to stay tf home. Or at the BAREST minimum, you need to wear a mask. I’m so tired of being the only person in a mask and still getting sick anyway

Sibling squabble 💥🪶 Juvenile Peregrine Falcons, Astoria NY, August 2026

Two juvenile Peregrine Falcons in flight, one in pursuit of the other, against a fading blue sky. They both have an amber glow from the setting sun.

The same two juvenile peregrine falcons in midair - the slightly larger one is now facing the camera, wings out, as the other one advances toward her, back to the camera

The falcons are still in midair, squabbling. The larger falcon is now below and to the left of the other, still facing them, wings out

The two juvenile peregrine falcons, still in the air against the fading blue sky, now further apart, the larger one below and to the left, belly up, wings and talons out, and the smaller one above and to the right

Sunset sunflowers 🌻🌞 East River, Astoria, July 2026 #bloomscrolling

A sunflower on the shore of the East River, partially obscured by leaves. The river and the opposite shore, bridge and train tracks, and electric lights are all out of focus, blurred in the background. The entire scene is awash in the orange glow of the sunset

Another sunflower on the same evening. This one is much taller than the others, and is facing up and away from the camera, with dainty leaves on either side of its tall stem, and an unopened bulb on the left. The fine fuzz on the stem and leaves is lit up by the golden sunlight. And out of focus building, and part of the raised train tracks across the river are out of focus in the background, under an amber-orange sky

The East River at sunset, looking South towards the Hell Gate and Triborough Bridges. Part of a silhouetted tree and the curved shoreline are on the left, next the silhouetted arch of the Hell Gate. The water is orangey-pink, reflecting the clouds above, which are cutting orange-pink streaks at an angle across a light blue sky.

🌿🦉 Happy International Owl Awareness Day! Here’s a Great Horned Owl I saw last month in Thibodaux, Louisiana, taking a pause before flying out for the evening 🦉🌿 #birds

A Great Horned Owl on a hazy summer evening, perched on the large branch of a pine tree, slightly backlit by a hazy golden sky. The owl is facing away from the camera, but looking left over her shoulder, beak open, plumicorns or “ear tufts” askew

I WANT to take the hit so everyone can eat. That’s kind of the whole point of taxes. I don’t have kids, but my tax dollars go to public schools, and I would actually like for more of them to be put there, instead of towards riot gear for cops.

First of the season Ruby-throated Hummingbird in Central Park this week ❤️🪶

Nestled behind blurry out-of-focus green and red flowers and leaves at the right of center is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird, feeding on a cardinal flower. His head and beak are in focus, the rest of him is obscured by the blurry flower, but some green iridescence from his feathers is visible. The bright red cardinal flowers he is feeding on is to the left of frame.

The birds were all 🤔😐😧 Canada Geese (ft. Mallard), Northern Cardinal, and American Robin in Central Park, 7.31.2026 #birds

Two Canada geese and a mallard duck on a rock in the middle of water that is a dingy green. One goose is standing, staring off into the distance through the sheets of rain falling on and around them. The rain is picking up the sunlight and many individual drops are thus appearing as small orbs of bright white light

A male Northern Cardinal, bright red, perched on a rustic wooden fence next to a sprig of green weeds. A few raindrops can be seen falling around him and he is also staring off into the distance

An American Robin, floofed up and taking shelter in a tree with bright green leaves, very backlit by bright sunlight

Very normal weather in Central Park yesterday!

Bow Bridge in Central Park, on which people are standing, taking pictures, etc, over part of the lake, on which there are at least seven paddle boats containing multiple people. Sunlight is causing a glare on the water, but the entire scene is under a veil of steady rain.

Close up of some dark-green-leafed plants in the rain, that are also being extremely back-lit by the sunlight coming through the background, causing out of focus orbs of light and water.

A mulch path next to a rocky stream in Central Park, shrouded on all sides by bright green tree canopy. A ball of white-hot sunlight bursts through the canopy at the top of frame, and the scene appears bright, though it is actively also raining
