In low light, I pointed, clicked and hoped I managed to catch this bird, which turned out to be a song sparrow. The red berries were a bonus. Thanks, Canon R7! #Birds

Michelle Goldberg describes the administration perfectly: kakistocracy. I hope the rest of the column comes true.

Lots of waterfowl were at Trenton marsh today. I couldn’t get the widgeons on camera but I did snap this Northern pintail. #Birds

Arrogance. Blasphemy. Hubris.
The Kennedy Center installed President Trump’s name on its exterior, a dramatic change to a building established by law as a “living memorial” to a slain president. The signage follows a vote by the board of trustees to rename it “Trump Kennedy Center.” https://wapo.st/48KUjQe

I got a rare opportunity today to pull off the road and take photos of a bald eagle that landed on a tree nearby. These were taken by the Millstone River Impoundment in Princeton, New Jersey. 🪶 #Birds #photography #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography
