Shoot 2023-04-03-193315

My wife's friend, a Seattle local, led us (and our daughter in her stroller) on a birding walk at the UW Wetlands just off Union Bay. There was a good density of birds populating the wetlands! It was a pleasant spring morning so maybe the birds were especially active ahead of the migration and breeding season.

The highlights for me were a group of Ruddy Ducks, including a near breeding plumage male which I hadn't photographed before, and an eye-level Brown Creeper with decent lighting.

My "birds in review" collages can be found here.

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. This blog post has more details.
