With a lifelong passion for learning, for years I’ve travelled the world virtually. Jan 2025, I began sharing the things that feed my soul here. A visual storytelling, just for you. As I learn I share other things here: @dailynewsstories.bsky.social

Sub-adult eagle.
The eagle eyes the camera set-up closely and likely seeing its reflection in the dome it even throws a couple karate kicks. The camera clarity is great . A gift!!

The Magpie meet-up in my yard started last week with two visitors. Tonight I count 20 plus 3 doves
Our visitors are exceptionally chatty at dawn ~ driving my husband crazy while I find them interesting and entertaining. Twenty however may be a tad too many.
Can I teach them tricks?
Imagine being smaller than this cute little hedgehog & being this close! Don’t worry, as long as you’re not an insect, beetle, worm, caterpillar, slug, or earwig, he likely won’t eat you. 📸 by Logan Haas #wildlife
