There should be a parade going through soon. I might have to make some time to watch it this year. It's been a long time since I've watched any parade, and it feels like it's been even longer.
Happy Fourth of July.

If you’re participating in a Christmas Bird Count this year, thank ornithologist Frank Chapman! In 1900, Chapman established the tradition in hopes it would counteract the then-common practice of trying to hunt as many birds as possible on Christmas Day. Chapman worked at the Museum for more than 50 years, from 1888 to 1942. Among his achievements was popularizing birdwatching and bird identification among the general public. 🐦 Photo: Dave Doe, CC BY 2.0, flickr
