#Introduction continued

#Mets #baseball fan & #Islanders #hockey fan (we're about to change seasons). Hate football.

I used to work in #museums and still love to visit them. Occasionally I #cook.

As you've probably guessed, I'm kind of eclectic. Follow me to learn more. (But, please, I'm not here for dating or sex. I will mute or block.)

I'm new here--joined yesterday. Here's my #Introduction

I've spent most of my professional #career providing #administrative support to #nonprofit organizations. Also #volunteer with various organizations, including #Transportation Alternatives.

Earned a BA in #English & am currently doing some #freelance #writing. I #blog at https://www.CircleOfIgnorance.com. Mostly read #nonfiction these days.

I just discovered that it's not possible to add alternate text for a photo in Twitter as we can in Mastodon. (I'm trying to remember to do that when I post a photo here.) But I can add alternate text if I post through HootSuite... except I looked at the tweet in Twitter and can't figure out how to actually see the text!

On our bird #walk yesterday we met this lovely sycamore #tree, estimated to be about 300 years old.

Took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather to have a walk a Gateway National Recreation Area. Saw this lovely wineberry with its fuzzy red branches backlit by the Sun.

A bird walk in January may seem far-fetched, but we saw some amazing raptors (& a few others) this morning.

A bald eagle soared above us long enough to spot him with binoculars and watch for over a minute. He seemed to be enjoying the wind. But too far away for the limitations of my camera lens.

This peregrine falcon, on the other hand, posed on an old tire in the Kill (Dutch word for a creek) & I got a decent photo.

Today (January 2) is #WorldIntrovertDay.

We thought about having a big party, but decided to celebrate quietly at home instead.

Two local #environmental groups got together to celebrate the #newyear with a walk to Crooke's Point in Gateway National Recreation Area. Gorgeous #clouds rolled in!
