Light rain falls as a western #bluebird (Sialia mexicana) perches on a sapling along a country road in rural SW #Oregon. Unlike many songbirds, the species often hunts insects by dropping to the ground from a perch, rather than catching them in midair #birds #wildlifephotography #photography

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Luca Guadagnino’s new film, “After the Hunt,” is “a posh Ivy League whodunnit and a cinematic Rorschach blot, cleverly rigged to generate cascading waves of suspicion,” @justincchang.bsky.social reviews.
“After the Hunt” Is a Pleasurably Ludicrous House of Cards
In Luca Guadagnino’s film, Julia Roberts plays a Yale professor forced to choose sides when a student accuses a colleague of sexual assault.

I love the nature we have all around us in Kansas City, including the miles of riverfront and forest we have within city limits. I spent three hours on the Missouri this weekend to see what we do right and where we can do better to enhance recreational access to the river.

From my #hike to the river today. Growing up we’d call someone who spent all their time on the river, a #RiverRat. I think riding your SeaDoo in October qualifies. #CarrieFurnace above the #Monongahela River #Pittsburgh taken from the #DuckHollow river trail.

In Ottawa I always walk along the locks of the Rideau Canal. They are the perfect tourist spot.
We forget they were built to protect Canadian shipping from the threat of American invasion.
A lot of people died building the canal. It was built to keep us independent.
True. North. Strong. Free.

I came across many Pinyon Jays today in the mountains of northern Arizona. They were searching through the ponderosa pine cones and may have been burying the pine seeds in the ground below the layer of pine needles. I saw them flying between the trees often.

It looks like I’m drifting out to sea, but this is Lake Winnipeg. It was a beautiful evening to get out on the water for a little bit. I’ve clocked over 150 km in this kayak this season and I’m not done.
