This Blue Jay visited our back deck a few summers back, checking me out through the window. As it stayed for at least 10 minutes, it may have been a juvenile who hadn't yet learned the job of screeching to scare off all the others birds. Day 6 of #ArtAdventCalendar #birds

"Just like family separation, I think we're starting to see people take to the street in really vocal opposition in a way President Trump has shown before that he will ultimately back down" -- interesting report from Jacob Soboroff on how Charlotte is organizing against ICE

No auroras where I live, but here’s a gorgeous shot from my brother-in-law up in Alberta, with a flock of geese adding some extraterrestrial vibes

Holy coronal mass ejection! I think these are the most amazing auroras I’ve seen in 45 years in Alaska! Taken from Diamond Ridge, Homer, Alaska, looking all directions. #auroras #NorthernLights

For #Stunday, I'm posting an image of a beautiful great blue heron. It flew right towards me before slowing down and landing in the water about 50 feet away in early morning warm light. There's very little crop on this image. #photography #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #herons

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

The crested pigeon is a fairly common native bird, but that stunning iridescent wing patch is anything but common. When the sun catches it, it's just gorgeous.

Let's make it a #birds day. This black crowned night heron was sitting in an old dead tree waiting for the fish to show up in the water below. It was being illuminated by the rising sun. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #herons #ornithology #birdwatching
