Here's a close-up photo to the underside of a ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris). I made my most common mistake before taking this photo and forgot to check my camera settings before I started snapping, so ISO was at 100 which is as low as it goes. I was taking moon pics earlier this morning. I was able to salvage the photos.

#Humming 🎶 It had to be you (Harry Nilsson)
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others I've seen
It had to be me
I'm five foot ten, a man among men
And you're seven-two
But with all your faults, it's you I adore
When you stand up, your hands touch the floor
It had to be me
Unlucky me
It had to be me

#Musician and #VideoEssay -ist Benn Jordan has named some of his videos in such a way that yt-dlp totally horks on them, because it fails to escape characters that are significant to the OS in terms of filenames AND (I suspect) might be exeucting sub-shells in the background and commands are failing due to special shell characters like ampersand (&) being unescaped.
And if true that this is intentional, I'm totally here for it. And if it's a happy accident that shows me a simple place I can contribute a bugfix / patch to the yt-dlp project, I'm totally here for that too.
ALSO, an excellent video, with an interesting digression about a survey. So much to take in:
