To build our future we need new leadership and we need to hold our electeds accountable for "driving" change. #Caltrans #AASHTO #Newsom #YoloBypass

Was a bit surprised to see an osprey at #YoloBypass today. Went for a brief walk towards where it seemed to land in a very dense area and, well, had a surprise for me coming around a big big shrub. #BirdPhotography #California

I went to #YoloBypass today and was planning to go for a walk but got delayed because I saw a bittern close by in a channel. They tend to be so shy and this one just let me stay close and take a ton of pics. So I took 100s and 100s. And to show people the general scene I made the ones in focus into a gif.

Picture of a Wilson's snipe. Bird is facing to the left with left side of body showing up in photo. Bill is open and head is pointed down with bill almost touching the water. Bird's legs are submerged and body is above the water. There are a few reeds in the water around the bird and some ripples near where the bill is.

Bird has a long black bill, maybe three times the size of the head.

And related to this -- I was also inspired by seeing @LizaGross yesterday and going for a walk at #YoloBypass. Liza and I used to work together at #PLOSBiology so when I was uploading my pics from our walk to @inaturalist I remembers the new #PLOSBiology paper ..
