Where I live is surrounded by forest and whenever I have my window open for ventilation, I hear the various birds nesting and I sometimes attempt to identify them from an ornithology book I have on local fauna from the 1980s. It's pretty hard, since the book's section on identification has these phonetic "trr-trr-trr"-type lines for the sounds.
Otherwise, there's a pretty expansive system of paths behind my apartment going all through the woods. Maybe I'll grab some pics from there to post. Tomorrow, maybe, if the weather is favourable?

There's various apps and programs for recognizing bird calls, though I'm always embarrassed to reach for them, feels too "soy" for lack of better phrasing, like I should already know this stuff and shouldn't need a guide to tell me about my immediate surroundings.

"Should" is not a better guide than reality. If you don't know it, learn it, and maybe the app is the better teacher. Then you can learn to teach it to others so they'd know it the way they "should".

There was this reddit post I came across admonishing a trophy hunter who had killed a mountain lion, and all the comments were like "you're a pussy" "I hope you're vegan" "The strong will dominate the weak" and I was left with a huge pit in my stomach.
Yesterday I remembered this post because I saw a video of a tiger walking with it's cub along a river covered in a layer of moss so thick that the surface appeared to be solid. The tiger playfully pushed its cub off of the ledge, thinking it would stumble, but instead the cub got dunked into the water. The expression of fear and panic and, you can't deny it, GUILT from the tiger was shocking to me. It clawed at the cub and, with some trouble, saved it from drowning. The cub ran away, and the tiger ran after it, presumably trying to apologize. It made me cry.
Imagine if, a few hours later, a fat, red-faced southern guy shot the tiger in its face. "Hope you're vegan pussy, circle of life"

I've seen that video too it's genuinely moving and you're right that you can read the feelings as easily as if it were a human mother and child.

Went around traipsing through the woods in the very nearby park today. Mostly climbing off-path, hardly saw a single person around 2-3pm. Thinking I might bring a foldable chair there and go read in the woods, if the mosquitoes don't eat me alive.

I intended originally to write a big post on some RS sub, but Imgur glitched my album out with fifty photos along with a running commentary and I didn’t want to bother redoing it. Here’s a few of the pictures I thought were solid enough to bother posting: imgur.com/a/Nc8UpPk
I particularly like getting photos of the ferns, lit by the sun. It gives a very beautiful effect when you’re in a shaded part of woods, but I couldn’t get any good ones. I would’ve liked to use my film camera, but I’m too broke to develop and digitise a roll just for an online post.
