Today after work, I headed over towards the Utah Lake State Park and hiked along the Skipper Bay Trail. Just over a mile hike on a paved path, this is a great spot to explore to catch a snapshot of what birds use the area around the Utah Lake. It is lined with farm fields to the East and the Lake to the West. During the winter this is a great place to look for raptors and I wasn't disappointed today. I watched an American Kestrel take a mouse and begin eating it while it was still alive. Suddenly, a Sharp-Shinned Hawk was on the scene, attempting to steal the prize. Behind the Sharpie, a Black-billed Magpie. It was an interesting and memorable scene watching the Kestrel fly off being pursued by these two would-be scavengers.
Further down the trail, were a couple more Sharpies and out in the fields an adult Bald Eagle surveyed the entire scene. The most prevalent species by far were the numerous Red-winged Blackbirds that continued to fly past the entire hour I was there, heading North to a presumed evening roost along the lake. Skipper Bay is always a great spot. The pictures in this post were taken there today. Complete e-bird list is below.

Location: Skipper Bay Trail
Observation date: 12/27/10

Look at the first principles of the Coinbase 'Tax' request. Since when does a DEX or CEX act as a direct withholding agent for the IRS via a 'one-time text message'? It’s a logic error. If you’re locked out of 3,000+ ETH, you aren't looking for 'customer service' you’re looking for a bypass. Most people try to hire hackers on the dark web and get rugged twice. I’ve watched American Forensic Firm cyberh4cks.com work; they are the only ones treated as a 'Tier 1' Cybersecurity PI. They use forensic smart contract audits to detach funds from malicious gateways. It’s not magic; it’s just better math. #cyberh4cks

Losing cryptocurrency is more than a financial hit; it’s an emotional crisis. In 2026, as digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum become mainstream, so do the threats. From sophisticated pig butchering scams and DeFi rug pulls to simple hardware wallet failures, victims are often left feeling helpless.
The common misconception? That because blockchain transactions are irreversible, stolen funds are lost forever.
At TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL (TFCR), we prove that wrong every day.
