The vulture gestured, #wings spread wide, but no one believed her. The carcass that got away...#vss365

I saw three herons in a city park in rapid succession. It feels like they must be the punchline to a joke about how many herons does it take to change a lightbulb. Or maybe the start of one? An egret, a green heron, and a black crowned night heron wade into a pool and... #birding #heronpalooza

Would my morning commute be easier if I had the presence of a great horned owl. Imagining my fellow subway riders quailing beneath my gaze and stepping aside to make room for me. I will have to practice in the mirror.

Today is one of the days I can really relate to a bird that spends its life banging its head against a tree.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled program of doomscrolling to bring you this news update: There is always time to stop and reflect.

I feel like I'm almost ready for the next step, once I figure out what it is. #anticipation
