Reminder:

500 tons of high-energy food was sitting in a warehouse in Dubai when Musk's DOGE let the food spoil.

The food was already paid for, as were the distribution personnel. We actually paid MORE to destroy it.

That story was repeated for 60,000 tons of USAID food across the globe.

A federal panel voted to exempt oil and gas companies from complying with the Endangered Species Act when drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

The decision will have outsize impact on endangered species such as Rice’s whales, sea turtles and whooping cranes. https://wapo.st/3QbEeMn

After a CRAZY parade of bobcats (11 passes in an hour! -still trying to figure out whether 2, 3, or 4 diff indivs) we had a visit from one of our gorgeous blond coyotes today in spectacular early AM light.

Daytime camera trap photo of mallard ducks flying away and over a remnant beaver dam. The combination of movement and rolling shutter of the camera creates an abstract, wavy patterns of the duck's wings.

OTD in '23: a mallard in flight combined w/ rolling shutter creates an interesting abstract.

Today also marks 1 full year of posting images of the day, so I'll be taking a break before deciding what's next.

Here's the whole animated sequence including arrival, kill 90 min later, and what I assume are some optimistic revisits the following AM.
