Geese hanging out in field and flying off
We get lots of geese around here, the bird activity is quite amazing to see. It is probably the most common view throughout the day is seeing all the birds flying around. These geese have landed and are pecking through the grass probably looking for something to eat.

I only noticed them outside because of all the honking.. lol
Quite the large group there, usually we only get a single mating pair hanging around.
They stay on the ground for a good thirty minutes.
I think these are the Canadian geese variety, we do not get the plain white ones as far as I know.
They all start honking again and then decide to take off. Flying off to somewhere else near by. I am sure they will return soon.
They take off all separated, but catch up to each other once in the sky.
It is always cool seeing them all fly by, such big birds.
They keep honking along the way, until they are completely out of view.
It was really cool seeing them, until next time.
Who Are The Leaders of Hive?
Hive, a blockchain born of rebellion against centralization, now stands at a crossroads. Its ethos—decentralized, community-driven, and free—is shadowed by a corrosive reality: the unchecked power of entities like @themarkymark and @buildawhale, whose coordinated downvotes and acrimonious tactics have driven creators to despair. This is not governance; it is a tyranny of silence.
The Illusion of Leadership
Hive has no crowned sovereign. Its “leaders” are stewards: developers refining code, witnesses securing consensus, and communities shaping culture. Yet power, as history teaches, consolidates in vacuums. When accounts with vast Hive Power (HP) weaponize downvotes to stifle dissent, they erode the very democracy Hive was built to protect. This is not leadership—it is oligarchy masquerading as order.
The Exodus and the Alternative
Creators flee. Talented voices, weary of punitive curation, migrate to platforms like Blurt, where downvotes are absent and dialogue thrives. Blurt’s rise will be no accident; its simplicity—a sanctuary from Hive’s toxicity—highlights a fatal flaw in our ecosystem. A single change here could tip the scales. Imagine Blurt embraced by investors, listed on centralized exchanges, and fortified by liquidity. It needs only a catalyst.
A Plea for Unity—and Action
We cannot wait. Each downvoted post is a fracture in Hive’s foundation. To stem the exodus, we demand:
Bilpcoin’s Pledge
The Bilpcoin team stands with Hive. We will:
The Hour Is Now
Hive’s promise—a haven for free expression—hangs in the balance. Will we cling to infighting, or rise as a community? The tools for change are ours: blockchain transparency, collective will, and the courage to demand better.
Join us. Audit wallets. Question power. Post fearlessly. Together, we can reclaim Hive’s soul—or watch its light dim as Blurt rises.
The choice is ours. Let it be written in history that we chose wisely.
Hive leadership crisis, decentralized governance reform, Blurt vs Hive, Bilpcoin transparency, blockchain accountability, downvote ethics.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityOverCensorship
@themarkymark @buildawhale & Co
You wield downvotes like a weapon, striking indiscriminately at whoever displeases you, whenever it suits your whim. And why? Why do you call people names as though their humanity is secondary to your ego? Is this how you justify your behavior—to diminish others so they might seem less worthy of fairness? You claim disdain for AI on Hive, yet your inner circle freely employs it without consequence. No downvotes for them, only for those outside your charmed circle. Tell us, why are you so selective in whom you punish and whom you protect?

@themarkymark & Co.,
We are being completely honest here, and you know it. The transactions don’t lie—you cannot escape this, no matter who you bring in to back you up. It won’t work. You’ve already exposed many of those close to you, so let’s be clear: WE ARE NOT TROLLING YOU. WE ARE SIMPLY SHARING THE TRUTH. And the Bilpcoin team is far from stupid. Calling us names changes nothing—it only fuels our determination to work harder.
IT’S OVER.
SPEAK UP. MAKE NOISE. TAKE A STAND.
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices do not just harm individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are not only unethical but outright destructive.

The blockchain data tells the story plainly and clearly. We are not fabricating these claims; we are merely presenting what is already visible for all to see. As we’ve repeatedly urged @themarkymark & Co—the solution is simple: STOP.
SO PLEASE STOP. It’s time to do what’s right for Hive and its community. Why cling to practices that harm others? Power down, step away, and let Hive thrive as it was meant to. You bring nothing positive to this ecosystem.
THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING—THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
PLEASE STOP.
@themarkymark, Can You Explain Why the Bilpcoin Team’s Accounts Are on Your Blacklist?
@themarkymark We understand you’re a fan of data—so are we. After all, data is king, and when it comes to blockchain, transactions don’t lie and can’t be changed.

I want them to return again, so that you show us more of their superb style.
They are so beautiful, while landing and also while flying, and I know you are the artists behind it, as your creativity in photography is
what spice the photos to come out stunning.
Glad you liked the pictures. Indeed it was cool to see.
You are very much welcome @solominer
Good morning, dear friend @solominer, how are you?
What wonderful visits you've had, and how many friends have come through there.
Beautiful photos. I appreciate you letting us know about this wonderful life.
Have a beautiful day.
Thanks much yeah we always enjoy their visits.
Excellent photography that shows the landscape; you can almost feel the fresh air. The capture of the flight of the geese is almost magical. A post that is definitely appreciated.
Indeed it is a beautiful place. Glad you enjoyed the post.
It's a pleasure
Funny how I haven't seen geese before...
It's probably the only poultry I haven't been chanced to see alive.
Great pics though ✨
Oh man well we got lots of them here. I usually see them flying over daily. Hope you get to some one day.
Birds have a lot to tell, especially when they tend to travel in social groups... let's just say that some are more evolved than others, can be monogamous, and fiercely protective of their own species.
Congratulations on the photos...capturing the moment of flight, with their wings spread as they regroup in lines, gives us a very beautiful view.
There is lots to them that is for sure. Thanks much. Yeah I am glad I was able to get some good shots of them.
what beatiful birds :D
They sure are
very vey cool shots! catch the action! 😉😎✌️
Hah yeah it was pretty cool
Nature is truly amazing! Watching those geese just hanging out and then gracefully flying off is such a peaceful sight. You captured the moment so well it’s like witnessing a small slice of freedom and harmony in the wild. Thank you for sharing this beautiful connection with nature. Moments like this remind us to slow down and appreciate the simple wonders around us.
No problem glad you enjoyed seeing some of the moments here.
Yes I am so glad thanks for sharing 🚀 ✌️
Have you ever tried capturing them on camera when they fly by? It must be quite a challenge to get that perfect shot.
Yeah I have once it was pretty cool.
Nice shot in flight!
I'll have to pull out my phone and grab a photo the next time I'm at the "geese" crossing on the country road I run and hike.
There's a pond off the side of the road, and a few times a day they wander across the road looking for things to forage and peck at. Geese are poop machines.
We had a one car traffic jam the other day as one of the geese wasn't inclined to get out of the road for a car.
Haha yeah seems like ponds attract them. They have ventured onto my porch and did poop all over it.. no fun.
Lol sometimes they are quite cocky
Such a peaceful moment you captured. Watching geese gather and take flight always brings a sense of calm and wonder. Thanks for sharing this glimpse of nature.
Ah glad to share the cool moment. It was quite the sight seeing them.
Looks very cool ducks, yes you have a photo I haven't got money to buy a good camera like you plan to go forward to buy a camera too to make
Lol they are not ducks but glad you enjoyed seeing them
It is really a great honor to be on hive platform. The things I have envisaged or seen in movies are being shared on this platform. This is super amazing! It feels like I am traveling and exploring the world right from the comfort of my room.
I do love seeing them in person. For the longest time I just saw pictures and them in movies as mentioned. So it's cool seeing them up close finally.
I can imagine the feeling. Thank you once again for sharing.
You captured birds in the group so nicely… it is always nice to watch them and capture the beauty 😍😍
Have a good day 🙏
Thanks. Yeah I think a couple of them came out good.
Hope you have a great day too
