Believe it or not, all three of these fish are the same species… the bluehead wrasse. Wrasses are protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning they transition from female to male over the course of their lives. Each phase can look radically different from each other as evidenced here #coralcitycamera

Two views of a pelagic nudibranch. No idea what kind it is though! The rhinopores at the bottom are clear enough but I have no idea what any of the other bits are. Or which view is from the side and which from the top/bottom.

Pics from Balayan Bay, Anilao

A translucent pelagic nudibranch . The internal organs are clearly visible, and the rhinopores can be seen at the bottom of the image.

A Ruby-crowned kinglet, American goldfinch, Wilson's and Palm warblers on this visit to Assiniboine Forest 🌿.

#Winnipeg #birdwatching #birds
A Ruby-crowned Kinglet hangs onto a thin vertical stem in the forest. An American goldfinch sits high up in the tree canopy. The aspen it's sitting on is just starting to leaf out. A male Wilson's warbler sits on a horizontal branch on the edge of the marsh among willows. A Palm warbler looks towards the camera while perched on a dried cattail leaf on the edge of the marsh.

The largest snake snake pit congregation on the world! 🐍
They aren’t poisonous, you can handle them. Red-sided garter snakes. (The pictures don’t show the enormity of the pits and snake population)

The more I try to identify immature and female hummingbirds, the more I realize I know nothing so here’s a pretty hummingbird from the Sierra Vista region of Arizona. 🪶 #ArizonaBirding
The hummingbird is in flight with its tail spread. It’s vertical with wings spread and back. There’s a slight orange wash on its sides. Some chin speckling. The tail feathers are rufous, green, and black with the outer 4 tipped in white.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner so another reminder that #BalloonsBlow.
Countless animals are killed by consuming the fallen remains of helium balloons and birds and other animals can also be entangled in any attached string.

Great Blue Heron Having a Moment

Not sure what this bird was up to! It’s mating season already here close to the Gulf Coast so the courtships and nest building has begun.

Just had a coyote in the front yard. I noticed her just as she came close to the window by the front door, but couldn’t react fast enough to start a video. I’m pretty sure it’s the same one I saw earlier this morning on the road. She appears to be making her rounds.
