Yours truly produced it and I'm quite proud of this one! www.householdink.com/dickdunlap/
Great post!
It’s human natural tendency to want to be right. Just remember the person you’re being right to is told their wrong

It feels terrible as a human being to be told you’re wrong

Communicate in a way that doesn’t make folks feel terrible

Because you’ll never know you’ve lost a birder like Mike

Smh🤦‍♂️
Yep, I've had this experience on eBird too: got a nastygram about an American goldfinch vs Lesser goldfinch listing. Guy was downright mean about it, and it wasn't even my list - it was shared from a group trip!

Haven't touched eBird since.

Look at this wood duckling scooting through the water ♥️♥️
Here's the footage I've been trying to get for at least 2 years:

A wood duckling.

Someone posted to here there are photography friendly wood ducklings in Eureka, CA where you can use reeds as blinds.

I knew there had to be somewhere within 600 miles.

Yesterday 10 were reported. 1 survived. 🪶 🐣

Here's a shot I got two years ago today in #Tacoma. Me and a buddy were watching a humpback at Point Defiance when he yells "incoming!" Luckily I was quick on the draw. #Birds #Photography #Nature #Raptors

I don't post much about this asshole because I'd rather stick to things I enjoy but holy fuck he's nuts! I don't know how anyone can listen to him speak..it would be unhealthy for me to do so.

Got my first ever decent Pronghorn photo this year out at Carrizo Plain! This buck obliged me and my lens but after a few minutes I moved on and left him alone—after taking a billion photos first of course! #Photography #Nature

#Serenity is the theme for today’s #BirdoftheDay. This is a Mountain Bluebird I photographed last winter in Deschutes County, Oregon. Y’all love a blue bird!

Fabulous stuff again!
Years almost over, but the ability to experience our beautiful world isn't.

Second best sunset murder of crows of my life tonight.

Impossible to capture the full glory with one camera person at a singular location. 🪶

Here's a shot I got in May of a Cliff Swallow colony on the central coast. There were so many nests I lost count and I can't wait to get back there in 2026!

Another Cliff Swallow shot from May. Looks like the one on the lower left lost part of the nest.

Happy Pied Billed Grebe Yawn-IVersry, for all who celebrate.
Tonight I got the second cutest pied billed grebe footage OF MY LIFE! From the same lake as well! I'm so excited for this group of grebes to nest because they just seem to get more animated by the year! #birds

A couple birbs in flight today. Most time outside in about 20 days.

Of course my #outstretched #bird for #BirdOfTheDay has to be a Bald Eagle. #Birds #Photography #Raptors #Nature

For today's #BirdOfTheDay the theme is #Outstretched, birds with their wings fully stretched out, and the Alternative is #Red any bird with Red on it.
I've gone with a Pigeon, Little Egret, Coot & Black-headed Gull from WWT Castle Espie. The Gull also has a Red Beak

It was SO cold at sunset tonight on La Cumbre Peak! Of course I'm also VERY soft now after 666 days in Santa Barbara!

This was their 2nd attempt. The first I didn't capture, and the 3rd I did video assuming the fish was dead and it was easy pickins. Instead the osprey just flew into a tree looking dissatisfied for a half hour, then left the lake!?
Another day. Another osprey. Another L.

Unless you're a fish. Great day for you. 🪶
