New Years Day hike to the brink of Lower Yosemite Falls 🏞🌈✨️
It was cold and misty and the route here is a bit 😬 but totally worth it!

Allen’s hummingbirds are very early breeders here in San Diego. I heard courtship sounds of an Allen’s yesterday and then watched him do the side to side shuttle display and then a few dives. 🪶

The share of counties where 95% or more of kindergartners were vaccinated against measles has dropped from 50% before the pandemic to 28%, according to our analysis of public records from 44 states and the District of Columbia. At least 19,000 schools are now more vulnerable to outbreaks.

It's all I have to bring today--
This, and my heart beside--
This, and my heart, and all the fields--
And all the meadows wide--
Be sure you count--should I forget
Some one the sum could tell--
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.

One of the more unique birds I got to photograph this year was a leucistic black-crowned night heron. In this photo I was able to capture its white feathers as it stretched its wings.

PSA: You don’t owe anyone an explanation about the health reasons why you are wearing a mask.
Badgering others about the tools they need to survive is stigmatizing and ableist, and should have no place in decent society.

Hey Jon Stewart, jokes about wearing masks aren't funny
Critics of the Daily Show host say he's a hypocrite.

I don't actively use AI but to the extent it's thrust upon me in searches and such, I find it does a decent job of summarizing something when sources with complete and accurate info are easy to find anyway. when things are less clear cut (i.e. when AI would theoretically be helpful), it's a mess.

Savannah Sparrows (Passerculus sandwichensis) are beautiful studies in browns. A wonderful example of the beauty that can be seen when looking closely. The yellow lores amd fine streaking on the belly also help! #BirdsOfTheCaliforniaDelta #birding #nature #photography

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.
