Recently followed a starter pack of photographers, and I'm seeing so many birds now that I should probably share a recent one of my own. One of three young ouwls that hatched this year in a single nest, still making appearances around the neighborhood.

On my way to #ditaotday, the first one since 2019. That's usually my busiest day of tweeting every year, but that depends on this app still working in a few days 🤷♂️
