Expect lots of bird photos (and sometimes plants, bugs, etc).
GenAI is not welcome here.

Seriously, Senator Warren? That has NEVER been true for huge segments of the population. Capitalism will never provide equitable opportunities, and refusing to recognize that is one of the most out-of-touch things I've ever seen you do.

My whole reason for taking those photos is pretty much the desire to share my own joy and awe; I'm so glad it seems to be working! 😘

Yeah. I'll warn for gore if I'm sharing with a more general audience, but I do not get it with birders.
Same for birders who complain about/vilify Canada geese, urban wild turkeys, etc.
And I really don't get the ones who don't seem to be particularly environmentally conscientious.
