  1. Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)

    I do occasionally see herons fly over, but this was first time I have seen one land at our apartment complex.

  3. Okay, I’ve made us a Portland Rebel Alliance badge! 💪

    That’s our magnificent spear-faced city bird emblazoned with the Portland flag.

    I’m gonna make stickers & such happen, but if you want you’re welcome to use it as a pfp.

  5. Good morning. ☕☕☕

    Sunrise Over Broken Slabs

    When I awoke this morning, the concrete crew was already at work, hoisting massive slabs of my old driveway into a dump truck. Others were grading the ground for the new pour—all of this before sunrise. I almost wish I had posted one of my sunrise photos to mark the moment; I’m sure I have one or two tucked away.

    There’s a certain stress in watching your driveway demolished while your car sits trapped in the garage 😱. Still, patience pays: in about a week the concrete will cure enough to drive on, though full strength won’t arrive until 28 days. No worries—we pulled the pickup out earlier and parked it on the section completed a couple of weeks ago.

    We lucked out when a neighbor with a dump truck wanted the old concrete. I’m not sure whether we benefited more, or the contractor did. When I asked what they would have done otherwise, they mentioned a long trailer—or perhaps renting one of those dump trailers.

    The excavator they’re using is a huge orange Kubota—likely rented, though maybe borrowed. In the shuffle of moving those heavy blocks, one slipped and shattered a windshield. Thankfully no one was hurt, though the operator seemed rattled, and now the contractor has a windshield to replace.

    Exciting times indeed.

  6. Sentinel and the Trio

    This quartet—a great blue heron and three laughing gulls—was spotted lounging in a tidal pool along the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi, one quiet morning in November.

  7. Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) by Federico Maria Sardelli

    The text says: "This is a Great Blue Heron that when standing still on the ground loses all its noble elegance and reveals itself for the idiot it is."

  8. Walking the Catwalk

    It’s been long enough since I last shared an image of this Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) strolling a sandbar in Gulfport, Mississippi, on the Gulf of Mexico, early in the morning. I figure posting another isn’t too repetitive—I really enjoy these shots. Keep an eye on future posts, though… I only have seven left. 😂

  9. Heron and the Tide’s Tiny Travelers

    Birds both great and small fill this frame, creating a dynamic coastal scene. In the foreground, a majestic great blue heron (Ardea herodias) dominates the image, its wings poised in motion as it takes off, lands, or simply shifts its position on the beach. Below, tiny dunlins dart across the mudflats, busily foraging for food in the damp terrain. Midway up on the left, a slightly out-of-focus sanderling adds another layer to the composition, subtly blending into the background.

  14. There’s always a person or two fishing by the opposite side of the pond, so the pond must be fertile.
