I saw this unusual bird a week or so ago in Forest Hill Park. At first I thought it was a bluebird, but then it flew below me (I was on the footbridge over the creek) and I noticed the patch of color on its back. It turns out to be a northern parula -- this is the southern tip of its range. #RVA

Some scenes from this evening's May Day rally and march in Richmond, VA -- no better way to honor International Worker's Day than by fighting fascism and oligarchy. #RVA #50501

The deer are getting their antlers in! This is from Sunday in Forest Hill Park when I was walking along a deer run looking for a goldfinch. Instead I woke up this napping deer, who let me take a few shots.

Bluebird on the wing -- today at Forest Hill Park, where I sat for a while in a little clearing and watched bluebirds and flycatchers catch insects. This one was taking its catch back to a nest in a tree by the pond, so it crossed the field quite often going one way or the other. #RVA #bluebird

Some dwarf bearded iris from under the magnolia. Last year they flowered in a mound where I had planted them, but this year they're coming up in a ring around that original mound.

From a few days ago at Forest Hill Park -- this kingfisher skimmed low over the water down the length of the pond, and then a few minutes later, while I was still watching it, took off back the other way. I was able to snap a few shots, and this one was in focus.

A rough estimate: 243,489 (73k+ veterans if we assume 30%) people are unemployed, counting those who took the buyout. Yes, EPA should be listed twice, but there may be an overlap between the two groups. One was probationary employees; the other was a climate-focused group.
