A rock sandpiper (Calidris ptilocnemis) stands in shallow water in the nearshore zone of Kachemak Bay. Snow is accumulating on its back.
I shot this on my Sony a6600 with the 200-600mm fully zoomed in, then cropped the photo.
After this trip to Homer in March last year, I upgraded several personal items for cold weather photography - new mittens and snow boots to start. I was prepared for 20-30 F, but not with 15mph wind added to that chill.

Brian Eno: "The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people, and I have less and less interest in what those people think, and more and more criticisms of what the effect of their work has been."

I think we could hate him more. We have the capacity, we all just need to put in a little more effort.
