I just sold a backpack camera bag on eBay and they took almost 19% as their fee! I had no idea it was that high. 😳 (Obvi, I’m not an eBay guy.)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme challenge is #BirdBuddies - two 'different' bird species sharing the same space... A heron being dive-bombed by a lapwing near its nest. Sharing space perhaps, but not very happily!!!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay from @helenbennett.bsky.social is #BirdBuddies, two different species sharing the same space. The Alt is #BirdsInGreen, birds with green plumage. The chipping sparrow & Eastern bluebird are hoping the male cardinal will share the food. (Feb. 2026) #Birds #ECK

Current situation.

I thought I’d combine #MallardMonday with today’s BOTD theme #Herons&Egrets since I just happen to have this handy. 😉 #birds #birding #photography #ECK

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #Heron&Egrets. The alt is #Borbs, especially round or plump bird. A great blue heron spears a meal. Notice the wingtip in the water balancing the left foot coming up as he lunges. #Birds #birding #ECK

My #Stunday post is the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, #Italy, captured at night. #urban #architecture #scape #UrbanGaze #travel

@robcrank68.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #Pigeons. The Alt is any bird #SittingOnWater. Here are some buddies navigating the cobblestones in search of handouts (volunteered or otherwise). #birds #photography #Stunday #ECK

I know it’s only social media, but every time I see someone misuse apostrophe S it makes my teeth hurt.

I just saw today is National Hummingbird Day. (How did I not know?) Here’s a ruby-throated #hummingbird from last month in our backyard. Enjoy! #birds #birding

Attended a bat mitzvah service this morning. The rabbi felt compelled to explain that (due to the current political climate) when readings and prayers use “Israel” it is referring to the global community of Jews, not the country of Israel. Awful that this is where we are.

Alan selected #InFlight for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, and #Grounded, birds on natural ground, for the alt. Keeping Alan’s opposites theme, an osprey circling slowly overhead & a puffin speeding towards home. #birdphotography #ECK #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky #nature

Since it’s #Flyday and we’re leaving the week behind, a pair of swans exiting stage right along the ocean’s edge. #birds

We’re getting closer to the holidays.

For #ForestFriday a shot of the Catawba river in SC in the early morning hours. #landscape #scape #nature #trees #rivers #photography #eastcoastkin

Today's #BirdOfTheDay from @helenbennett.bsky.social is #BirdNaps, birds snoozing or looking sleepy. The Alt is #BrightAccents, birds with vivid, contrasting color patches. This Northern Fulmar was napping hidden in the midst of a noisy puffin colony! I have no idea how it slept! #birds #animals

Caught this odd little cloud last evening with my phone. A small gray ball reflecting pink on its edge, all by itself in an otherwise clear blue sky. #nature #sunset #clouds

Hi birdie buddies. @AtlanticBirding.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Contrast, light birds/dark backgrounds, or vice versa. The alt. is #Thrushes. An osprey readies to dive just before a storm hits. #birds #photography #ECK #wildlife #animals #birding

Nykurhylsfoss (aka Sveinsstekksfoss) on the Fossá River in the Fossárdalur Valley of eastern #Iceland for your #WaterfallWednesday. #scape #landscape #ECK

Good morning birding friends. Today's #BirdOfTheDay from @robcrank68.bsky.social is #ItsAllWhite, primarily white birds.The Alt is #RedHeads, redheaded birds. This Great Black-backed Gull, flying low over the deck in Istanbul, has an all-white body.

In a few weeks I’ll be joining this guy. IYKYK. #travel #birds

The Right keeps yelling “Communism!” at the Left, but Mango Mussolini is the real American communist: Commerce Dept. reports the government w/stakes in 30 companies, including IBM, US Steel, and Intel. Controlling the means of production is textbook communism. Caring for the needy is not.

My share for today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #BirdsOfAFeather, is mealtime. Seabirds flock to feed on fish that whales surface up during their own feeding. #FlowerPower, birds with flowers, is the main. Thanks @alan678.bsky.social for these creative themes. #birds #photography #ECK

If anyone knows how to get interaction more than 5 followers out of my 3000+, I’d love to hear it. #DeadFollowersOnBsky

Another #MountainMonday is upon us. I hope it’s treating you well. Scenic #Iceland. #scape #landscape #photography #travel

Bella and I had guests on our midday poopy walk.

Now they’ve recalled tofu in 29 states. At least I know I’m safe from this one!
