Pond season is officially over, with a frost advisory looming I decided to take it out today and be done with it. It was a short but lovely season this year. The first guests at the cold season setup with the heated bath were the Cardinal baby siblings.

Mock Viper (Psammodynastes pulverulentus), family Psammodynastidae, Hong Kong

Not venomous.

Historically this genus was placed in the family Pseudaspididae, but is not in its own family. There is only this genus in the family, and there are only 2 species in this genus.

The Blue Jays are currently dominating, and in the sharp sunlight of fall days, you can always tell all the little details in their pretty plumage. We are still waiting for some fall colored foliage but things are starting to happen.

And a nice surprise today was seeing this Whitebreasted Nuthatch on one of the photos from the CY65 trailcam (these cams have the option to take photos along with the video, which is very practical for an overview on what's captured). It was not on video, too quick, but made me very happy because I haven't seen one in months.

No, today is not a Jewish holiday. Today is Erev Rosh Hashanah— Rosh Hashanah, the New Years of the Hebrew calendar, begins at sundown!

An author named falco276 is copying fics and posting them to her fiction press; among her plagiarised stories are your works like "The Map is not the Territory"

This is from the timeframe where I wasn't really around/wasn't answering asks, so I only just got to this...seven years later? But I wanted to say thank you; it's still up and I went and reported it with a link to mine on AO3. Hopefully the report coming from the original author means they will do something about it.
