The best legs in the business 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay

This year I've been trying to get better at sparrows and warblers (after a half-hearted attempt at gulls). It definitely takes a lot more effort than I'm used to!

A scan of an instant Polaroid photo. It shows a sign that reads "war: how would you feel?" with military imagery of bombs and fighter jets. The sign is in a sandy area with a disused bail bond sign and low mountains in the background.

war: how would you feel? polaroid taken in Joshua Tree last week...

I feel like the key to warbler photos is to go out for four hours on three separate days and you might end up with one usable picture 😅

Thank you for this! Due to a bit of carelessness and a lot of excitement when buying I ended up with the standard edition of the disc. It was great to be able to read your essay now!

That's fantastic!

I was really hoping I'd see them, but I didn't dare hope they'd be this close!

Thank you! I was freaking out when they showed up 😂

You must have the fastest hands in the west to be able to snap such a lovely photo! They've always moved on before I manage to raise my camera 😂

Female pyrrhuloxia sitting on a small branch

The female is more subdued but still stunning 🪶

Male pyrrhuloxia partly obscured by branches

I recently had a close encounter with a pair of pyrrhuloxia and I'm just in love with the mix of gray and red feathers on these desert dwellers 😍 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay #Feathers

Thank you!

I see Fares Fares on a poster and the movie is instantly added to my watchlist. Thank you!

Good morning 🦭

San Francisco har et udmærket hybridsystem. Stemmer på papir men du sender sedlen igennem en maskine der validerer at du har udfyldt sedlen korrekt (ikke stemmet på to kandidater til samme post, f.x.). Måske ikke nødvendigt i DK, men herovre skal der nogle gange sættes 20+ kryds på sedlen...

You put on Hard Boiled. Chow Yun-fat insists it's not a #milknoir and you may feel a bit of disappointment, but then in the hospital an old man enjoys a nice cup while throats are being slashed. All is right in the world. 🥛

Female bluebird sitting on a small wood post

Good morning! This female bluebird was pondering how to spend its day in the early hours at Fort Mason last week. 🪶

An Allen's hummingbird takes off from a bush in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. These birds will spend their breeding season in the Bay Area before returning to Mexico in the fall and winter. 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay #Migratory

This week I finally had one of these beautiful birds sit still long for me to take a photo! 🪶

EaggerStunn - Kugledans feat. Geolo G YouTube video by Fake Diamond Records

on Wed 3/18 at 5pm Pacific, I'll be on @kalxberkeley.bsky.social playing a whole hour of Danish dancehall, and I truly cannot wait to explain to listeners how "police" rhymes with "pigs" on this track (& maybe share that the epic video was shot in my old hood)

Screenshot from the movie A BETTER TOMORROW II of Chow Yun-fat trying to get Dean Shek to drink a giant glass of milk

Does A BETTER TOMORROW II qualify as #MilkNoir or does it not count because Dean Shek ends up being unable to drink the milk? @maybejed.bsky.social

A red-throated loon sitting in water

Saw red-throated loon this week, but it was all gray 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay

One adult owl and one owlet sitting on a thick tree branch looking down

In a very exciting development I saw the first great-horned owlet of 2026 tonight 😍 🦉 🪶

📍 San Francisco, CA

I hit play on Full Contact tonight and sometimes a whole movie can be summed up in one cut. In this case Chow Yun-Fat crotch shot hero pose to Simon Yam eating a hotdog. Just in case you hadn't caught onto what the movie is about 😅

It's really the best when people share instead of weird gate keeping.

Challenge accepted! I've seen one pair, know for sure where the second pair is, but have only heard the third pair. Last year was super awesome for sure!

My best luck has been to hang out around sunset with a pair of binoculars and people come up to tell me where the action is happening 😅 I think I may even recognize the trees in @photosteve.bsky.social's pictures 😂
