Luckily yeah, so far. Scratchy throat/runny rose and slight headache today. I had really awful brain fog after the last time I had it though. Really hope that doesn’t happen again.

It was multiple. First there was a Red-bellied Woodpecker calling and he goes “Pileated! They’re louder” which you know, those two sound nothing alike 😂 then I was watching a pewee and called it out and he says “that’s not flying like a pewee.” Uh sir, it sure is?

Ooo I went to college in Monterey, and took an ornithology class there! Let me know if you want any suggestions. There’s also some real good spots for tide pooling if you’re into that.

I am quickly learning that being a supervisor means there’s always at least one person pissing you off.

This is about 100 minutes worth of bird migration paths directly over my house, played back in just under one minute. Captured in infrared around 1am last night (October 2nd). Approximately 10 degree field of view, looking straight up. The occasional bat too! Most birds heading southwest. #birds

My mom just sent me this photo of my 18 year old cat, Truffles, and man she does not look as old as she is. 😻

A large seabird that is mostly brown with a white belly. It has yellow feel and a yellow and pinkish bill. There are branches obscuring part of its face.
