This bald eagle stopped on a snag log in the lake at Veterans Park in Hamilton, New Jersey, today. The bird was a ways off from where I was standing, and I'm pleased that my Canon-Sigma camera-lens combo got such a clear image. 🪶 #Birds #NaturePhotography
I took only a few photos this morning at the Pole Farm: a great crested flycatcher and an indigo bunting. 🪶 #Birds

I woke up to a crazy tete-a-tete between a red fox and Alejandro, one of our resident groundhogs. They circled one another. Alejandro got his back up and then (where the video starts) chased the fox off before entering his burrow. #wildlife

Friends, I invite you to read about my dear friend and Associated Press colleague Andy Lippman. He left this world yesterday, but not before making a difference in countless lives. www.ocregister.com/2026/07/25/a...
Andy Lippman, beloved bureau chief who directed many of AP’s biggest stories, dies at 78
A gifted writer and editor, Lippman likely made his greatest contribution to journalism through the scores of young editors and reporters he recruited, mentored and shepherded.

Dr. Mar@boldnewme.bsky.social · 2w ago19-year-old Pvt. Isabella Gonzales died defending this country. Think about that while politicians demonize immigrants and terrorize Latino communities. Americans with names like Gonzales have always fought, bled, and died for this nation. RIP to her and Lt. Tyler Feehan. 🇺🇸
Why is that Bluesky's "All notifications" includes repost info and likes but doesn't include all "Mentions"? I have to remember to check "Mentions" but often forget. It makes me a little crazy.
Black and white warblers are still hanging around in the Pine Barrens. This was one of them we spotted today in the Brendan Byrne State Forest. 🪶 #Birds #NewJersey

Just rewatched “Napoleon Dynamite” for the umpteenth time. What a classic. It nails adolescence in all its awkward splendor.
