I took these two pictures over two years apart.

Today at the Chimney Swift roost... #birds
Fun fact - the tree they are roosting in is well over 300 years old and has its own Wikipedia page:

Chimney Swifts filtering into a tree cavity shortly after sunset. Right in the middle of UNC’s campus! Draws a crowd every evening while it lasts. They’ll soon migrate south for the winter. Very fortunate to witness them using a natural roost. Shown in thermal infrared. #birds

Do you like birds? Do you like maps? Do you like birds AND maps??
I made maps for every species in the US, showing where they've been recorded, and how recently, at the county level. Check it out! #birds

Is it a Blackpoll Warbler?
I think it’s a Blackpoll Warbler.
Anyway, I took its picture.

I took some comet pictures and I stumbled on two cool things about it.
1) The comet is casting a shadow on its own tail - you can see a faint dark line down the center of the tail.
2) There's like a second faint line pointing in the opposite direction of the main tail

Perhaps the other line is the “anti tail”? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tail
