The Daily Bucket. Open Thread, on the fly. [1]

The Daily Bucket is a nature refuge. We amicably discuss animals, weather, climate, soil, plants, waters and note life’s patterns. We invite you to note what you are seeing around you in your own part of the world, and to share your observations in the comments below. Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the phenological patterns that are quietly unwinding around us. To have the Daily Bucket in your Activity Stream, visit Backyard Science’s profile page and click on Follow.

Remember I said I was working on organizing my bird photos so I could call them up by Common Name? My personal website media library let me do that fairly easily, although it doesn’t have every species I’ve ever photographed. Maybe just as well, since it was 723 photos I had to go through and put a Common Name in the “description” box for each one. It took a couple of hours total time, but now I have it and will keep up with the method.

This shows where I was after I had finished 400 of 723:

For reals…

723 is a fair representation, I suppose. Of my photographed species that aren’t in my personal website image library, I have a fairly easy way of finding a representative photo elsewhere. So, I’m good.

Yep, cracking daylight. I gotta go get dressed and get out.

If I could have a sunrise like this every day, I’d never go anywhere else. “Sunrise over Lake Erie at Magee Marsh”; Wed May 18, 2022 at 04:08 AM PDT. Attribution: Clickadee

It’s an open thread.

over to you.

What’s been happening nature-wise in your area?
