In case anyone wants a little break, here are a few of my favorite facts that I learned in 2025, in no particular order.

Some trees benefit from, and may even encourage, getting struck by lightning because it kills their nearby competitors nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Seems like everything will be frozen over here for a while. So no duck watching. Here’s a Northern Shoveler from warmer times

Inspired by @glendunlap.bsky.social to post a moon shot. This was one of the first images I ever took with my 10" RC, the other being M13. Camera was a ZWO ASI533MC-P, I think this was about 1000 or so stacked frames but it's been awhile. :) 🔭📷 #Astrophotography

Animal care staff hid mealworms and crickets in a box of crumpled newspaper and the meerkats were obsessed. This kind of enrichment encourages natural foraging and digging behaviors, and clearly, it’s a meerkat favorite.

Last week on the trail, I found one of my favorite quiet miracles.

These are Pipevine flowers — easy to miss, blooming before the leaves arrive, long before most things wake up.

They’re part of a remarkable relationship that eventually gives rise to the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.

I took these shots seven years ago today and while I love #SantaBarbara a whole bunch, I do miss being able to go see Bald Eagles pretty much any time I wanted to in Tacoma. I have a few Eagle spots somewhat around here but it's a lot more work. #Birds #Raptors #Nature #Photography

Sound up!

Eight years ago, we found this giant Porg on sale at our local dicount outlet. I knew @crawlieswithcri.bsky.social would love it, so I hosted a gofundme, and we (our old twitter pals and I) got it for her.

Flashback on this January 24 to a June 24 2023: Sandhill Cranes. A colt is walking in a pond with his mother and then testing his wings for the very first time in his life.

It's bitter cold here right now, good to see summer photos.

Good to be off on-call duties and back on BlueSky.
