Positive photo day 2091: I'm never sure if they are posing for the camera or, more likely, begging for food. I always have the former in Van Cortlandt Park but rarely the latter. No #birds 🪶today. Just #squirrels #wildlifephotography #Bronx #NYC @vcpalliance.bsky.social

Positive photo day 2078: I was sitting in my parents' kitchen when I heard a knock. It wasn't a visitor but a Tufted Titmouse knocking on the window. I guess if I can't go for a walk, birds will come to me. (apologize for the window glare) #birdphotography #birds 🪶of #NewJersey #naturephotography

Delegates exit #COP30 with mixed feelings
The decision to develop a #justtransition mechanism, adoption of the new #gender action plan were applauded
But many raised concerns on the #GGA indicators and the lack of a reference to fossil fuel transition
