Now I read that borbs was the alternate and #Herons&Egrets is the primary. So, I am doing things backward. This means that it is a normal day for me! Here is one taking off into a colorfully reflective background.🤪07 Sep 2026 11:08 +0000at://did:plc:eilcago72jceffjqyiiprr4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3muwelxn23c22https://bsky.app/profile/timbert.bsky.social/post/3muwdyvsr2c22#BirdOfTheDay #Borbs Borb? Sure. The minute I read the definition of "borb," I thought of this picture of a winter sparrow.07 Sep 2026 10:57 +0000at://did:plc:eilcago72jceffjqyiiprr4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3muwdyvsr2c22https://bsky.app/profile/timbert.bsky.social/post/3muvkidayl22wEarly post for #BlueSkyMonday A Red-Tailed Hawk, beginning a dive against a blue sky to catch something he has just spotted on the ground.

Here is one of my favorite bird pics.

Grammar checker is telling me to use more commas in this post, which I usually support, but this time I am ignoring it.

Does anyone know what that means anymore? There is no wire, but here is a floral image, still with not wires! I took it because I liked the shadow, but I like the flower also. 🤪05 Sep 2026 02:13 +0000at://did:plc:eilcago72jceffjqyiiprr4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3muqfqkr3ok2whttps://bsky.app/profile/timbert.bsky.social/post/3mup5gbqtds2c#BirdOfTheDay #brightaccents One of my favorites, a Flicker with those touches of red and yellow.04 Sep 2026 14:11 +0000at://did:plc:eilcago72jceffjqyiiprr4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mup5gbqtds2chttps://bsky.app/profile/timbert.bsky.social/post/3munwp3wav22vA lot of motorbikes, waiting patiently for their #HumansOfBlueSky to return so they can go racing around and become part of the #UrbanGaze.

Am I a follower? Usually not, but here is one of mine.🤪 Is it a bad sign that I keep using the crazy guy face emoji?😄03 Sep 2026 11:58 +0000at://did:plc:eilcago72jceffjqyiiprr4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumfiwbioc2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/timbert.bsky.social/post/3mumcr7trhs2v#BirdOfTheDay #Contrast. Hmm. I guess this would be contrast? Bright red bird against perfect blue sky. Birds sit on this wire all day long. Why?03 Sep 2026 11:09 +0000at://did:plc:eilcago72jceffjqyiiprr4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumcr7trhs2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/timbert.bsky.social/post/3mukxkp2utc2r#WhateverWednesday Took the plunge and bought a new camera today. I figure if I really bust through the manual, I might be posting pictures from it sometime around the end of the month. Way too many little icons. Way too many choices. Just way, way too much. It is all good. Technology! Guh!🤪02 Sep 2026 22:16 +0000at://did:plc:eilcago72jceffjqyiiprr4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mukxkp2utc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/timbert.bsky.social/post/3mujpe3jjnk2d#BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #RedHeads.

Nothing special about it, but it is a testament to the clarity of Lake Superior. These rocks are under water.01 Sep 2026 21:41 +0000at://did:plc:eilcago72jceffjqyiiprr4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3muif5j3f3c23https://bsky.app/profile/timbert.bsky.social/post/3muiev2ypnk23#Twosday A Robin and a Cardinal hanging out.

It is like coloring and not having to stay inside the lines. Weird picture. Parking lot at the grocery store when they have sales on anything.01 Sep 2026 21:33 +0000at://did:plc:eilcago72jceffjqyiiprr4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3muiepopnok23https://bsky.app/profile/timbert.bsky.social/post/3muia4sjrfk2zNational Mushroom Month? Who decides which events get a day, a week, or a month? National Big Toe Day. Slap Your Neighbor Week. National Clean Out Your Closet Month. Of course I made those up! Who cleans out a closet?!

Black Skimmers, some waiting for their ship to come in, others taking off for greener (bluer? Is this a word?) pastures (are there water pastures?). Hope you can have a chance to hang out with your birds of a feather soon.01 Sep 2026 12:23 +0000at://did:plc:eilcago72jceffjqyiiprr4h/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhfxhzwvk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/timbert.bsky.social/post/3mufgp3digc2h#BlueSkyMonday Getting ready for a few hot days here, but for now not bad.

Cardinals and Crows.

Here is a poem I wrote in ten seconds just now when I heard the words "youth" &"truth together. I've changed the title three times already (see two options), and by day's end it will probably be 20 times.

Two sky images with include what we call a Sundog. There is a more scientific name for them which, like so many names now, eludes me.
