We didn't come across many birds on this little hike but I got some pictures I'm quite proud of. After standing still and quiet in the woods for just a minute, I saw my first Acorn Woodpecker, and managed to get a usable couple photos of it. And on the way home we came across some California Quail, also a new lifer. It was fun to watch them run around.

The above hashes-<date>.txt file contains SHA-256 hashes of all the photos
from this shoot. The hashes-<date>.txt.sig is a signature of that hashes
file, created with my PGP key. The signature file
itself was written to both the Bitcoin Cash and Algorand blockchains, in the
OP RETURN and Note fields respectively, using the transactions below.
In short, this proves that these photos and the signature both existed at the time the
transactions were written to the Bitcoin Cash and Algorand blockchains.

Pileated WoodpeckerThis guy was going to town on an old fallen log. There must have been some good eating there. He didn't mind the noise we must have been making.

Spotted TowheeThis Towhee was singing up a storm, and seems to have a bad leg and some missing feathers near its beak. Perhaps he's a bit of an older fellow.
