A juvenile blue jay (pink flexible mouth for easy feeding; slightly lighter colouring, more greyish on the back) for the rookie pitcher Yesavage "built for" taking on the Yankees today. If this doesn't scream LFG... #BlueJays

A little something for everyone, whether you're following the #BlueJays hashtag for birds or baseball! 🪶⚾
One of my favourite action snaps, and appropriate for the energy of the playoff game today! Let's go Blue Jays!!

OK, I think if you're filming a promo for your talk at an upcoming tech conference held in *Canada*, it's entirely appropriate to go all out! #BlueJays

This isn't a ploy to get you to read, subscribe, check for, or open the newsletter... Just sobbing that the exact moment I hit "Publish," Buttondown crashed on me. 😭 So... maybe enjoy this month's The Astro Post?
Blog posts and RSS forever, baby! https://astro.build/blog/whats-new-september-2025/

Yes, for example, this is my Mastodon app in Dex mode. (Note, it doesn't have a landscape mode, so I'm always using it in a smaller sized "portrait" window on my tablet. I don't know if not building a tablet mode just makes the display simpler)

Thank you! In multiview, it's perfect. It might have been like this before, but there's a little content hidden in Dex mode (because that puts a horizontal control bar across the top of apps) just fyi. But the update fixed the sidebar/content column display issues, even in Dex! 🥳

Hi! The latest update doesn't seem to play nicely with my tablet in landscape mode. It's mostly okay in portrait mode, but since this is a 14 in Samsung Galaxy Tab ultra, it's not often in portrait mode. 😂

Zero regrets since I set my lock screen shortcuts to immediately start recording for bird sound identification, and the camera.
(I barely know how to find the actual phone app. I've long since removed it from any screen.)

🕵 crowdsourcing some Starlight user testing (cue Sarah's Lab of Evil Devices!)
🪺 prepping for an experimental feature to "leave the nest" and become stable, and what this means for docs

Updating my personal site content and once again distracted by Starlight's built-in "I'm feeling lucky" random theme colour generator so... new light theme! 😂 Rep'ing blue jays and Starlight.
(Also, which past version of me wrote the line, "High tech. Low alto." and can I buy her a drink?)

Surprised by a shore bird, as one is.
Unusual enough to prompt me to add a photo to my observation as proof, and then I checked: turns out indeed "Greater Yellowlegs" is a Community Target*! 🎯
(*Not yet reported this month, but has been observed around this date in the past, so not unpossible.)

Tomorrow we'll review our docs "Discussions" from the GitHub repo and figure out which ones to promote to "issues", to tackle as our next big projects...

Astro's been fine-tuning how we thank non-core contributors in our release blog posts. We now include anyone with a repo contribution since the last minor release... because that's everything that went into making *this* release happen and how we got here!
This month, we added the docs repo. 💪📚🌐

Weekend tinkering: Discovered that eBird helpfully uses its species codes to form each bird page's URL. So, updating my bird app with links to bird info, and to the location of the observation in Google Maps.
(Also seems I should tag my Flickr photos with their species code!) #birding
