Literally confusing hawks and doves.

Usually #iNaturalist’s AI is pretty good at narrowing down to a genus, but sometimes it can get confused. Like this #pigeon sitting on a silk floss tree branch. It was “pretty sure” it was a *hawk*.

Um, nope!

I can sort of see that with the first image, but the second one makes it blindingly obvious!

@KelsonV I just realized it’s literally confusing hawks and doves.

Fragments of a circumhorizon arc

Cirrus clouds/contrails above a spiky plant, with a rainbow-colored section of cloud.

Cirrus clouds/contrails above palm trees, with two sections of cloud in rainbow-like colors.

Fragments of a #CircumhorizonArc seen on my way back from lunch today. I took some shots with my phone, because that's what I had, then remembered that I had the good camera with me and grabbed it from the office. The clouds had shifted, but not far enough to destroy the effect completely.

Oh, and saturation has been enhanced on both photos to bring out the colors.

Just realized: autocorrect turned “cirrus clouds” into “citrus clouds” in the image descriptions. Yes, both of them.

This squirrel bounded along a wall carrying a walnut in its mouth…

This squirrel bounded along a wall carrying a walnut in its mouth as I walked down the sidewalk. It stopped and looked at me as if it had been caught in the act of walnut burglary. I had enough time to snap a couple of pictures with my phone *and* pull out my camera for a better shot before it scampered away.
