After several years of seeing, at most, a rustling of marsh grass to go along with their call, I finally got a clear shot of a Virginia Rail! #birds #birding #birdphotography

This is the second time in one year the FBI has visited me over a document I lawfully published. If you want to know why media constantly refuses to publish things, here's why.

It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

I got a new camera so expect to see more bird photos on my timeline as I use it as an excuse to get more exercise. This little guy (Eastern Screech Owl - Red Morph) happened to land near me while I was out at a family event with a camera with a flash connected.

It remains unclear whether the Trump administration will apply the law in this way. But such an interpretation, experts say, would infringe on basic civil liberties.
