Hello, I’m not dead, just still recovering from my Japan trip and adjusting to the sudden fall weather I’ve returned to. Slowly going through photos, which are mostly of brown-eared bulbuls, but I got some good ones at least!

I got the best photo of a carrion crow yesterday. I’ll try to get it edited and uploaded tonight if I have energy (doing soooo much walking here in Japan)

Was hit by someone who ran a red light as I was making a left turn. I’m ok, but I’m worried my car is totaled. I love my little car 😭

Didn’t have my good cam as I was just out downtown for dinner and didn’t expect many birds, but came across a purple martin roost on the walk back! It was about 7pm and there were hundreds flitting about. It was amazing to see in a bustling downtown area

Today cooled a bit so I went for a walk. Not only was the park full of the songs of yellow-billed cuckoos (photos to come) but the butterflies were out and about. Got photos of a beautiful red-spotted purple and a monarch as they took short breaks

I didn’t get the greatest photos today - I was tired and the heat haze was awful - but I got three lifers when I only set out to get one. A swallow-tailed kite, a black-bellied plover, and a pair of American avocets! Added a photo of one of the black-necked stilts I found the other day also

Decided to review some of my photo from last year to see if I missed any bird IDs now that I’m more experienced. Looking at some of my Florida pics, turns out the out of focus heron I got photos of was not a blue heron like I thought, but in fact is a tri-colored heron! That was an exciting find!

There's an interesting problem in digital preservation, which is that preservation only exists actively. Only the things you actively move to new formats, survives.
Community is probably the same way: it has to be actively maintained in order to outlive whatever spot it's currently in.
