Perched Above Still Water
This anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) perched quietly on a dead tree in a pond in west‑central Georgia. I almost missed it because of how well it blended into its surroundings.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Good morning. 🦢🪿🦆
28 May 2026
I stopped by the pharmacy on post yesterday afternoon to pick up a resupply of meds. There was a short line at the pickup counter, mostly older retirees like me. If they’re anything like I am, it’s probably the only reason they still come to Fort Polk.
I noticed—again—that many of them wore baseball caps covered in military regalia, often with their retired rank pinned somewhere on the front. Over the years I’ve come to think of that whole setup as the ‘pharmacy hat.’ It’s an identity marker, a way of saying I served, even though standing in an Army hospital should be clue enough.
Every now and then I even see someone in the full hat‑and‑vest combo, both pieces covered in patches and pins. I’m not criticizing—just observing. There’s nothing wrong with being proud of spending most of your working life in service to the nation.
I usually wear a baseball cap myself when I go out, one with the letters LA on the front. That’s its own kind of identity signal: it says I cheer for the Los Angeles Dodgers and hints that I’m originally from California—which I am.
And yes, I truly do understand their need to be recognized. For twenty or thirty years they lived immersed in a culture that became the only world they really knew. Then, in what feels like the blink of an eye, they found themselves on the outside looking in—no longer part of the team. It’s quite a transition, and we all handle it differently.
After a lifetime of knowing exactly what to wear, a person is suddenly left wondering, maybe for the first time, what do I put on now?

“Sometimes letting go is an act of far greater power than hanging on.” — Eckhart Tolle

I decided to bike to MNSA, Oceanside to do some birding today. I arrived past the morning prime-time and low tide, and it was pretty business as usual, meaning the expected seasonal crew, plus the permanent residents. I'm always happy to see Saltmarsh Sparrows, my iconic climate crisis hero birds. They seem to be in abundance, there, although that speaks more to habitat loss elsewhere, rather than resurgence. At least they are breeding at MNSA. On the way back, on a hunch, I stopped by Willow Pond, a small freshwater body across the street from a salt-water channel in Hewlett. Sure enough, I encountered my first Green Heron of the season.
