Pro democracy, pro nature. No MAGA, fascists, authoritarians, Republicans, corporate Democrats, corporate-owned media or violence advocates need apply. Peaceful protester. DM = block. Photos mine: Lumix G9-II, Leica 100-400 zoom.

NO LISTS | NO STARTER PKS

Blissfully unaware of the nonsense that drove us all to protest by the millions all over the country today.

American Robin singing away the rain. I know, they’re common, but they’re still handsome.

He wouldn't lie to us, would he? After all, he's the new Poop!

Found a good use for Meta AI. Making fun of old yam tits.
The original is bad enough, but can we make it worser? Turns out, yes we can!

Common ground dove… on the ground. Not a super-exciting bird, but a new one for us just the same. 😎

I’m told this is real, too. The Church is not happy.

There are similar white ibis in Central FL, US, all around Walt Disney World, where som refer to them as “Disney pigeons.”

I have a shot of a similar bird, auto-identified by birding app as a glossy ibis. Maybe I was mistaken?

Muted colors on a red-winged blackbird. Still handsome, though.
