I made a quick trip out to the wetlands. There was some nice light and mist, and I was able to get some landscape shots and panoramas. I was lucky enough to spot a group of large white birds take off in the distance, and get my camera ready fast enough to capture them with a nice backdrop. They turned out to be Great Egrets with a Snowy Egret among them! Based on recent sightings in the area I'm pretty sure it's the same individual Snowy Egret I saw here in December.

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.

Great EgretLightroom Classics's built-in AI denoise feature did a better job on this RAW file than DxO PureRAW, although the detail on the bird, when pixel-peeping, isn't quite as good.

I used Photoshop's generative fill feature to paint over a house. The house wasn't too prominent in the first place but the scene looks more natural without it.

Northern Harrier, Red-tailed HawkAt one point I took a detour to get closer to the hawk that ended up perched in this tree. I was hoping it was a Rough-legged Hawk, but it was just a Red-tailed.
