Recommendations, please: I need to buy an insulated lunch bag (soft-sided lunchbox), but don’t want to give my money to Amazon, Walmart or Target. Where should I look online? TIA

Besides the feeders, we bought a Shrimp tree that we have in a pot on the deck. They LOVE that thing!

Good morning all. Today's #BirdOfTheDay, per @robcrank68.bsky.social is #SplashingAround, birds making a splash. The alt is #Green, any bird with green plumage. For the alt, one of the many Ruby Throated #hummingbirds that visit me in the Carolinas.

Neither. I pick up the handle and rinse directly down from above.

Wilson's snipe bird with a long beak and brown, black and white feathers in flight against a green blurred field.

Holy cow. I got a Wilson's snipe in flight! They are so shy, and I didn't even see it until it took flight.

A family of Ravens is putting the goth back in gothic at NYC's largest cathedral--St John the Divine. There are five mouths to feed, so the parents are staying busy! ⛪️⛪️⛪️ #Ravens #Cathedral #birding

What a beautiful shot! Well done.

I didn’t know I needed a Golden Snub-nosed monkey, but I do now.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay from @alan678.bsky.social‬ is #Petals&Perches, any bird with flowers. The alt is #WhatTheFlock any three or more of the same bird.

Lovely

This sums up my feelings about the entire Epstein class.

I was into photography decades ago but dropped it because, you know, life. I just bought an Olympus E-OM1 used about 6 months ago and now have to relearn everything.

Interesting comparison: #Flyers both won 2 more games and lost 2 more games than the #Penguins during the regular #NHL season. Pens took more shots per game but also gave up more. The biggest difference between the two teams is the PP and PK, where Pittsburgh has a decided advantage.

Happy #MountainMonday to all. This is northern Italy, looking towards the snow-capped peaks of the Dolomites. Bonus lake included. From my trip there two weeks ago.

What camera are you using?

Can confirm hummingbirds do exactly that.

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had this exact experience.

I guess simply eating a peach when you want peach flavor is out of the question? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks so much. Believe it or not that was right on my deck. Several plants from last season that I have thrown out yet!

You gotta give to the GOP.

They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

I took this portrait photo of a Common Kestrel at my local patch (Monte Coto) just outside Pinoso Spain. I have now seen 114 species at this non-water location in the last 4 years. Not bad for an inland site. #birds #birdphotography #birdsofprey #naturephotography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay from @robcrank68.bsky.social‬ is #ComeEatWithMe, birds with food in their beaks. The alt is #Turdidae.

Here’s a two-fer: a male Northern Cardinal chowing down and behind him an Eastern Bluebird. (Chipping Sparrow is a freebie.)

I’d like to know if Karl was at the hospital when he arrived or how he knows that was said. (I didn’t know about this book until I read this just now. I will get it, but in the meantime I’m asking.)

Evening grosbeaks.

It was a wonderful surprise to look out at my dock this morning and find it full of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks! About 10 of them landed there. When I looked out later, they were gone. I hope they come back!
