Today's lunch view while out volunteering, and the Townsend's Warbler I saw after we were finished. Not centred, but a difficult #bird to photograph at the best of times.

Yesterday's lunch view. Raining, so under an awning. Plus: rain or no rain, any day I see a #Pika is a good day.

My latest iPad Mini video just dropped (for the 7 of you that care). youtu.be/uXTHUvDBp04

Today’s lunch view while out volunteering (and while at lunch, for a change)

Went for a short bike ride from my house today. This was the destination.

I love the new additions to this classic.

Today's lunch view while out volunteering was a bit uninspired: a picnic table in a campground. So this was just a fun thing I saw on my way to that campground. Not a great pic, but I don't stop for roadside wildlife (and you shouldn't, either)

Today's lunch view, and where I was before lunch. I WAS out volunteering as a Wildlife Ambassador. But the G7 scared everyone away, and we spoke to exactly 1 person, setting a new record low for impactful volunteering.

I was on the radio today! Too many ums & ers, but otherwise, fun! www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Today's volunteering views: The first pic was our snack break at noon. Kinda like lunch, but earlier. The second was at the BBQ my volunteer team shared mid-afternoon post-workday. Kinda like lunch, but later.

This is so much fun to watch. Both the childish arguing AND Brittlestar's video.

Always a treat (and a humbling one, as well) to find a store selling the book I wrote. I expressed my thanks to the store owner for carrying it. She asked me to autograph the copies she had! So I signed the 5 books on the rack for her. Here’s hoping that helps them sell.

Today's lunch view while out volunteering. Plus... the ~2 day old White-Tailed Deer fawn we found in the forest where we were working. We gave it a large berth and lots of room, and taped off the area so no one else will bother it. We did see the mom; she was concerned but not upset.

Today's lunch while out volunteering was at a picnic table in a parking lot, since we were done field work just before lunch. Her was my 30 min before lunch view, though.

Any day with a Pika is a good day. Today was multiple Pika in 3 different locations.
