For the first time, I repaired a sliding glass door screen today. The old synthetic one had weakened significantly from UV and recently took a knee. The new mesh is aluminum. It was a bit brittle but I like that it is UV proof. A damaged window screen with a large tear and fraying edges, framed by a white window frame. Sunlight is casting Rosemary plant shadows on the screen.A disassembled slider window screen with a detached mesh lies on a pebbled ground next to a concrete path. Nearby are some tools and a green hose. The frame is intact, but the mesh is in a pile.A window screen is being repaired on a concrete surface. It is secured in place with clamps. A spline is in progress of being put into the channel to attach the screen. Part of the rubber spline or gasket is lying on top of the screen. Half of the area is in sunlight, while the other half is shaded.A sliding glass patio door with a white frame is shown. One side has the repaired screen. The reflection of a lame person taking the photo is visible in the glass. There's greenery on either side, with a pebble-covered ground.

I was feeling left out, so please enjoy the Black-Necked Stilts in lieu of penguins. #BlackNeckedStilts #Birds #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoCTwo black-necked stilts, one near the photo’s left edge and another near the right edge, with long pink legs stand near a marshy water area. The background consists of water and patches of vegetation.

I finally have a #Wrensday post, thanks to this constantly singing Bewick’s WrenA small bird with a brownish body and patterned tail perches on a nearly vertical slender, bare tree branch against a clear blue sky. #BewicksWren #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoC

Another photo from the Refuge this last SaturdayA flock of birds flying in a clear sky, featuring white egrets (2 total) and dark white-faced ibises (12 total) with long, curved beaks. #GreatEgret #WhiteFacedIbis #Birds #BirdPhotography #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoC

I once again commit to only Fork food. That is all.

A photo directly below and looking up at a perched and sunning Turkey Vulture. Its wings are open and its red bare skin head is clearly visible above its wings. It has some weird downy feathers surrounding its beak. #TurkeyVulture #Birds #BirdWatching #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoC

CalFire has a pretty neat Fire Fighting Aircraft Recognition Guide including radio frequencies and a map with registration numbers — link is on the bottom of the page under “General Aviation” #Aviation #AvGeek #Wildfire

American Bushtit at the refuge yesterday. What an acrobatic fuzzball! An American Bushtit, with a light orange head and gray fuzz-ball of a body, is upside down, hanging on a young Willow tree branch full of golden catkins against a clear blue sky. #AmericanBushtit #Birds #BirdWatching #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoC
