I note saying that I believe that even if you think you have no artistic skill, I'd rather see your effort than your A.I.

The Common stonechat (Saxicola torquatus) is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List with a stable population trend. It is found throughout Europe, huge swathes of Asia and large areas of Africa. Their preferred habitat is heathland with gorse as can be seen here with a male perched on a gorse branch. It mainly consumes invertebrates but will also eat fruit and seeds. It is a partial migrant.

A bird stands in a setting of sand and grass. It faces away from the camera displaying its speckled back. Its face is turned in profile showing its short black beak.

Per @alan678.bsky.social today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdsInTheirElement with an alt of #Seabirds. Going for a combo here with this #BlackBelliedPlover hanging out in the sand. #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

Text: Attention birders! ACTION ALERT: Status: The U.S. House passed the SPEED Act. Next step: This bill goes to the U.S. Senate for a vote. Consequences: The changes set forth in the SPEED Act will make it easier for gas and oil companies to get approval on projects that negatively impact bird and other wildlife habitat. Action: Tell your senators to vote NO. Call Tammy Duckworth 202.224.2854, Dick Durbin 202.224.2152. Submit comments through the American Bird Conservancy form.

The U.S. House recently passed HR 4776, the SPEED Act. This act reforms the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires federal agencies to determine the environmental impacts of major projects before they can be funded or approved. 1/x
