Trash pickup is: CANCELLED No one told the North End. What's this going to look like a week from now after 24" of snow tonight?
The greenway ferris wheel as seen from Long Wharf tomorrow... probably.
Some glamour shots of the winter flowers I've been growing in my basement.
Storm loop. 10am 7am Sunday ➡️ Monday 25 Jan 26 Jan Copp's Hill, North End, Boston
I really got that focus locked in for the 8th and 9th shots of this rare winter Pine Warbler series 🤦
No waterbirds at Chestnut Hill today. But got some good looks at a Golden-crowned Kinglet, Downy Woodpecker, and White-breasted Nuthatch.
Starling cosplaying as a Purple Sandpiper today on the ricks at CC Park in the North End.
Petersons is still best at at least one thing: CONFUSING FALL WARBLERS, etc A friend of mine said of this picture: “If that bird could talk, even it wouldn’t be able to tell you” (Also: the actual species I think it is isn’t even on that page)
Saw an Orange-crowned Warbler AND a Tennessee Warbler today in the pine trees behind the Eliot Upper School/tennis courts - next to the bridge. Tennessee Warblers are only reported in 0.1% of November Suffolk County checklists! Bonus White-throated Sparrow. ebird.org/checklist/S2...
Some North End Bluebike data. 🧵 1/3 North End Bluebikes stations averaged over 20k rides per month this summer.
Happy Veterans Day everyone. Today was my 25th as a veteran, and it started with an auspicious sighting of an Ovenbird which made the state-wide rare bird alert. ☺️ ebird.org/checklist/S2...

The nitpicker's guide to Boston Blue
Let's start with a confession: "Blue Bloods" was on for like ten years, and I never watched a single episode. But spin off a Wahlberg into a show about Boston? I'm there, riveted to the screen - along...

Did google maps remove the option turn off "Labels"? There used to be a checkbox around here.
The full moon last night was about 6% larger in apparent diameter than the AVERAGE full moon. The closest perigean full moon is about 7% larger. I had to get that off my chest because the Globe keeps reporting that a "supermoon" is 14% larger than the average.
Moonrise over Logan tonight. Full moon is technically tonight, but it happens just 12 minutes before midnight. So tomorrow night's 99% illumination will be practically identical, just on the other side of sunset. This was at 6:07pm - about 5 minutes before sunset and 12 minutes after the moon rose.
