2015 is when I began an interest in taking pictures of birds, and 2017 is probably when I really got going. This Mallard at the Los Angeles Country Arboretum & Botanic Garden, is from 2014. The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts some of your earliest bird captures, per @atlanticbirding.bsky.social.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay per @robcruickshank.bsky.social, is #BestOfJuly. I like this shot of a Lesser Goldfinch contemplating his next morsel. He’s part of a posse of Lesser Goldfinches that feed several times a day on the petals and seeds at our flower patch in Oakland, CA. It's great entertainment.

Why is this not getting more coverage – yet another instance of increasing costs for average Americans? "President Donald Trump announced a phased plan to impose a 100% tariff on imported generic drugs starting in August 2028, rising to 200% a year later, to encourage U.S. production."
