The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts some of your earliest bird captures. When I researched my first hiking guide, I became obsessed with our endemic Florida scrub-jay since one preserve near me had so many. I led hikes there for many years. Never tired of them: a favorite! #birds #birding #ECK
From Space Race The Stasi’s darling remained a wild card. Perhaps the thrill of the hunt - or unfinished business - would prove compelling enough. No guarantees, Dmitri had learned. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

From Star Struck Long silences punctuated Dr. Ruhl’s responses as if each must be carefully diagrammed before spoken. Used to lobbing banter, Bob felt like he was playing ping-pong in a pool of gelatin. Speak, and wait. And wait. And wait. #SundaySnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

From Space Race Victor came to in a cactus patch. He shifted his weight, rolled with the terrain, and got a thorny jab in the butt. "Ouch!” Landing face-down, he wiggled fingers and toes. All accounted for. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

From Atomic Promise “I’m used to that nonsense, Bob. Don’t let it get to you.” Sighing, Bob tried to relax. It might not bother Bea, but he didn’t appreciate those horny toads or Al dumping his typical take on women. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

Ulysses veered around a coiled rope in the road, the kind that Curry was always bringing in for the chimps’ tire swings. “Guess I’m done with jumps. Again.” “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to defuse Dick. Give him time and things blow over." #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity
