In this gallery are images from a walk at a local wetland, and a couple backyard shots as well.
I saw a young Great Blue Heron and a young Great Egret at the wetlands, as well as some swallows. I was able to get some nice shots of Tree Swallows but the light may have been too harsh for some of the photos. There were also a number of American Bittern flying around, and I managed to capture a spectacularly grotesque shot of a flying Bittern doing its business.
One evening, I noticed what appeared to be juvenile Dark-eyed Juncos in a tree in our yard. The following morning I was able to take a few photos of them to confirm — my first photos of young Dark-eyed Juncos! We always have a dozen or so of these birds all winter long, but by summer they are scarce here and I haven't seen the young until now.

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.
