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.

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

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.
