I’m a Reader living in the Sequoia National Forest, learning photography & birding. 🤓

I do follow some political feeds, but rarely comment. Just trying to stay informed.

Unapologetically pro-Vax.

Today, I’m posting this photo that I took years ago for the #BirdOfTheDay theme: #birdonawire I just love birds’ innate spacing ability.

@altnps.bsky.social I’m in Kern County, CA, where we have poll watchers. Just wanted to tell everyone that our county’s official “polling place finder” website is broken and is simply resetting when you enter an address. If you need to know where to vote, call the elect office at 661-868-3590.

In Kern County, our official polling place website is down. It just resets.

I’ll see you a Mallard duck and raise you two Mallard ducks!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is a 'Pair Of The Same Bird'. Please enjoy Mr & Mrs Mallard on the Kern River near Kernville, California.

The #BirdOfTheDay is one with character. This prompt requires another White-crowned Sparrow, the most distinguished of all the sparrows!

For the #BlueSkyArtShow I’d like to exhibit one of my favorite shots overlooking #LakeIsabella in California.

The theme today is #glow Amazing what you can capture if you just pull the car over!

This is my resident squirrel who has an apt under my front porch. She loves a good suet bar and periodically makes her way to the bird feeder, via a platform of seed. Note the chubby cheeks!

This lovely Common Raven was so pretty in profile, until she wasn’t 🫤. Kernville, CA

The #BirdOfTheDay today is my favorite bird or birds. Mr & Mrs White-crowned Sparrow are my very favorite. They are the patient ones at the feeder while the House Finches and House Sparrows run amok.

I posted this little guy for black & white day, but he deserves another pic for #WoodpeckerWednesday
This Hairy Woodpecker was spotted in our local #AudubonPreserve

Rob’s #BirdOfTheDay is one having black and/or white on it. How about a Hairy Woodpecker in the Sequoia National Forest?

I caught one about a month ago!
