Black-necked Stilt near the City of Burlingame Shorebird Sanctuary. What a pose! 
Got lists set up in Mastodon. Much better than a deluge in my main timeline. @ivory@tapbots.social can filter list members out of the main timeline, which is very nice.
Emirates A380 preparing to take off from SFO to Dubai on 1/20/2023 during golden hour #avgeek #planespotting #A380 #fujifilm
Here’s an Emirates A380 turning right onto SFO runway 28R on January 20, 2023. I’m fully impressed with my X-T5 and the Fujifilm 70-300mm lens. Those 40 Megapixels really help with the details and cropping to “zoom.”
Lunar New Year’s Eve in San Francisco. #LunarNewYear #SanFrancisco #Fujifilm
Great Egret on the San Francisco Bay Trail just south of The City Of Burlingame Shorebird Sanctuary. #birds #GreatEgret #Fujifilm
My first time at Bayshore for SFO plane spotting.
I’d love to be able to customize my autofocus boxes. www.dpreview.com
This is super exciting - the Yawman Arrow controller for flight simulation has been (finally) revealed! fselite.net has the details. #flightsim
Indisputably confirmed Yellow Rumped Warbler at yesterday’s visit to the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. They were everywhere but it’s rare to have one facing away for more than a split second 😍#birds #YellowRumpedWarbler #fujifilm
What luck today. Photographed a juvenile Bald Eagle (second year?) at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. #birds #BaldEagle #Fujifilm
OMG this is insane. Pea sized hail & the backyard is just flooded here in Orland. Lightening too. #cawx
I really enjoy flying the Toliss A340 in X-Plane 12. This is on approach to Oakland International. Just a short flight from San Francisco International. #flightsim #xplane #avgeek
Now that the latest wave of rain is done, 1.6 inches of rain today. Highest daily total so far I think. Unheard of in Orland. #cawx
0.6 inches/hour now in my backyard😳 #cawx
Annie Creek is flowing! 0.4 inches/hour right now. The back yard is ponding hard.
My partner only looked at cat, bird, and wildfire posts on Twitter using Tweetbot. Its permanent chronical timeline was key. Now that Tweetbot appears to be banned, that’s it. No more Twitter. Fortunately Mastodon is maturing quickly.
1.2” yesterday in Orland. CA. #cawx
Love to see Stony Creek flowing in the main channel and out into its braids. I never saw it flow in the main channel during the 2022 water year. Stony Creek is controlled by multiple dams, the last one being Black Butte. This bodes well for ground water recharge.
Last night an RV and car caught fire behind us. As far as I know, no one was injured. Here are better photos of the action. There was a really nice full moon last night, too, though thin clouds fuzzed it up a bit. #fujifilm
