Ring-billed Gull at Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. This is a good example of an adult RBGU in nonbreeding plumage; yellow legs and yellow eyes, pale gray mantle, and the distinctive black ring on the bill.

Today was Yelm's 1st #Pride Festival but it was difficult to ignore Law Enforcement from (4) different agencies (#Nisqually, #YelmWA, #ThurstonCounty, #WSP) and the permanent, embedded MAGA presence throughout the event.
As if that wasn't bad enough the #ProudBoys also showed up later in the afternoon, with an associated person approaching us about taking photos.
@robin @shibacomputer Really vibing with the generative possibilities of the 'Alternative Forking' practice. Helps me visualize a practical set of interventions regarding the last two hundred years of sociotechnical management of the watershed where I now reside. #pluriverse #SalishSea #Watershed12 #Steilacoom #puyallup #nisqually #squaxin #lushootseed #twulshootseed #WRIA12
It’s always worth going. I saw at least half a dozen eagles including one in the nest, plus shovelers, coots, widgens and geese. And a coyote surprised me as I was driving out! I love living in #cascadia. #pnw #billyfrankjr #nisqually #salishsea #silentsunday #marshmadness
#Steilacoom people thrived on the land where we live from time immemorial until intervention by agents of Great Britain and the United States in the mid-19th Century. This text documents some of the jurisdictional relations since then: https://www.historylink.org/file/5254 #MedicineCreekTreaty #Lushootseed #SalishSea #LandBack #IndigenousSovereignty #WaterIsLife #SovereignCommons #RightsOfNature #HumanRights #Nisqually #Puyallup #SquaxinIsland #BuenVivir #SolidarityEconomics #Homes4All #Dignity4All
