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.

Hey birders and photographers:

I’ve been using the Nikon P950 for the past 3 years for birding in Michigan and am ready for an upgrade. The Nikon Z50 II and Sony A6700 appear to be two of the best options available in my price range. I’d like to pair it with a 150-500mm lens.

Any recommendations between the two? Any other advice?

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?

“We know what we are, but not what we may be.” — William Shakespeare

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” — Joseph Campbell

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

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐦🏜️ Gambel’s #quail are gregarious #birds of the #desert Southwest, easily recognized by the bobbing black topknot of feathers sported by both males and females.

Trail cam #videos captured at Southern #Arizona watering holes show these family groups, or coveys, gathering right at the #water's edge. A single pair of adults can travel with up to 16 young #chicks, foraging, taking dust baths, and staying safe from desert #predators together.

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.

Y a un oiseau qui ricane hin hin hin hin hin hin hin en boucle avec un bruit de crécelle, ou comme un criquet qui ferait la taille d'un gros oiseau, vous savez ce que c'est? (Aussi en duo avec la tourterelle de Turquie habituée, c'est très présent dans l'espace sonore sans vouloir être désobligeante.)

edit:c'est une fauvette qui est vener parce qu'il y a un chien et au moins un chat. Il ne fallait pas chercher dans chants d'oiseaux mais alarmes.

It's Says Phoebe O'Clock.
The game cam captured a Says Phoebe inspecting the bird box that currently has a mockingbird nest in it, and the game cam of course. I think it was going in and eating bugs. The Says Phoebes are currently nesting under the portal on the other side of the house.

A Summer Tanager.
The Summer Tanager appeared in my yard.
It is a rare bird where i live, they stay much farther to the south normally.
