Burrowing Owl in flight at sunset

March 2025, Central WA

From Danny Lee

A female Great Horned Owl glances into the sunset, awaiting the disappearance of light to begin her night- time hunt for food.

"Lal Salaam" (roughly, "we salute the red flag") in India is a common slogan in Indian communist circles, signifying unity and solidarity amongst the left.

From Andrew Kawa

As this little owlet got more and more curious about the outside world it would move closer to the opening of the nest cavity. On the evening this photo was taken the owlet had moved closer to the opening than before while mom was still in the nest. When mom was ready to hunt, she came shooting out of the nest knocking the owlet out of the way and back down into the nest cavity. It was the last we saw of the owlet that night. The owlet has since fledged and is doing great.

Now that's a tree topper!!!

It's easy to miss a Saw Whet. They're so tiny!

Photography is like New England weather. If you don't like the scene, wait a minute.

I was trying to photograph these newly fledged Great Horned owls for about an hour or so with no photos to show for it. Two were visible but they had their eyes closed and I didn't like all the white sky behind them.

The third, this owl, was totally buried behind a curtain of spruce. So, I set up on the mom nearby waiting for her to wake so I could get some shots. Then, I heard one of the birders exclaim, "oh, look, the baby's sticking its head out".

I swung my camera around and sure enough, the owlet emerged a little from its hiding place allowing me to get this shot. He didn't stay there for long, but at least I felt like I got a decent shot instead of just a wasted day. I didn't even see all the berries around it till I looked at my photos later.

The moral of the story, have some patience and stick around. You never know what the next minute will bring.

Not totally sure this is the same owl, but this is from Dan Minicucci, who captioned this pic as " Homage to Harold's red pine cone shot."

Who's got the better shot? 🤔

Israeli PM criticises leaders after their call for halt to Gaza offensive and restrictions on humanitarian aid

Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney of “emboldening Hamas”, after they called for a halt to Israel’s military offensive and an end to restrictions on humanitarian aid in Gaza.

Earlier this week, the leaders of the UK, France and Canada condemned the Israeli government’s “egregious” actions in Gaza, warning that the UK and allies would take “concrete actions” unless Netanyahu changed course.

In a post on X on Thursday evening, the Israeli prime minister said Hamas wanted to “destroy the Jewish state” and “annihilate the Jewish people”.

Hello folks,

I have a mini PC which I use to host my website and some lightweight services. The mini PC idles at ~10% cpu usage. I was wondering if I can contribute 90% of CPU to the community. Thinking that maybe I can host other people's websites for free.

How can I do that? Should I host some fediverse software? What do I do with this much processing power?

Thanks in advance!

A song by a Palestinian about how the west created the apartheid and genocide in Palestine. I cried after watching this. Check out the rest of his songs, they are really good.

It's been almost a year now since I started doing pixelart.
A year a go I was learning godot and decided to make my own game, the catch was my specs would struggle with 3d, so 2d was the way, and what is 2d gaming without pixelart?

I watched couple of pixelart tutorials and found out about Pixelorama and installed it.

EU defence commissioner says he expects a lot of loan requests from member states under €150bn programme

A €150bn (£126bn) loans programme to rearm Europe that was finalised this week could be “a very important breakthrough” in the EU’s military support for Ukraine, the bloc’s defence commissioner has said.

Andrius Kubilius, a former prime minister of Lithuania who is the EU’s first defence commissioner, said he expected a lot of member states to request EU-backed loans under the €150bn Security Action for Europe (SAFE) scheme, which was approved on Wednesday.

The European Commission proposed the €150bn loans alongside flexibilities in the bloc’s fiscal rules as part of a €800bn rearmament plan, which was hastily drawn up after Donald Trump’s decision to suspend all US military aid to Ukraine.
