I was very surprised to learn that baby gulls look like this, but when they started screaming their identity was confirmed

"A California agency charged with slowing health costs has set a lofty goal for insurers to direct 15% of their spending to primary care by 2034, part of the state’s effort to expand the primary care workforce and give more people access to preventive care services."

A snow bunting got pretty seriously lost and ended up in Hayward. Very cooperative little fellow! One of my first pictures sticking a 1.4x teleconverter in front of the 200-600mm lens, very happy with what I'm getting. #bird #birdfreaks #feather_perfection #featherverse #birdlovers #birdphotography #birdwatching #allaboutbirds #sonyalpha #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeonearth #wildlifeplanet #audubon #audubonsociety #california #californiabirds #californiabirding #audubonca #californiawildlife #bestofthegoldenstate

Timeline cleanse: Biggest and best red tree.

A very tall and wide tree has only intensely red leaves. The tree is so big, its' branches overhang a fence. Red leaves have fallen on the side yard and driveway on this side of the fence.

A lil' peaceful bend in the Merced River. There was some kind of animal bonking around on the other shore, which was fun to hear -- we never did see what it was. The cadence didn't feel human. But, maybe it was just a birder taking their time! #california #nature

Tallac had received a dusting of snow as of a couple of days ago, so I'm glad I'd gone to see the season change -- the area will be absolutely walloped by snow this weekend, so some of autumn's remainders will likely disappear. Until next time. #california #nature

Epiphyllum Blooms In The Garden (2 photos)

We have had so many flowers this year and I can’t stop taking photos of them. They are so dramatic and photogenic.

Steller's Jays have been my white whale for years now. I see plenty of them, but every time I try to take a picture of one it's some combination of dark, blurry, the bird flew away, I was hallucinating it, birds were never real, etc. So these are certainly some of the least interesting Steller's Jay's pictures on the internet, but dangit: I finally got one :D #california #nature

Walking among and photographing the redwood forests of Northern California. Not much else as inspiring, humbling, and spiritual in the whole state of California.

Enjoy, Joseph G. Art.
