COVID/Pokemon Go
Said I’d do this back in March 2020 if/when I caught COVID.
Wrapping up another year with corvid.
Double Pigeon
Call your doctor if you experience double pigeon.
This is why I like carrying around a camera with optical zoom.

This Say’s Phoebe, unlike the squirrel, was kind (or unconcerned) enough to stay put while I walked around it to get both a better angle and better light. #birds #nature #SaysPhoebe
Two hawks circling off in the distance
I saw two hawks circling off in the distance to the northeast, then they chased a few crows toward and past me. Sadly I couldn’t catch a picture as they passed above. But a few minutes later I saw these two hawks – probably the same ones – circling in the distance to the southwest. I’ve seen both Red-Tailed Hawks and Cooper’s Hawks in the area, but I think these look more like red-tailed hawks.
This squirrel kept pausing just long enough for me to aim the camera, then darting off

Mixed Seasons
Mixed Seasons. Just cold enough for *some* of the trees to drop their leaves, while others keep on drinking up the sunlight. #trees #autumn #NotWinter #afternoon #park

Cloudless Sulphur (butterfly)
Camera-shy Black Phoebe
A very camera-shy #BlackPhoebe. This was the clearest view I managed to get.
