Birds, bugs, and whatever else catches my eye. All 📷 mine unless otherwise noted. Also into books, meteorology, fiber arts, herping, hiking, and all manner of exploration.

Today's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #warblers, and the striking Black-throated Green Warbler is one of my favorites.

Beautiful as the image is, there is no tree of life. The shape of biodiversity is more like a chaotic blanket, individual threads splitting, being snipped off, branching again, creating an incredible tangle of species that are both discrete and connected.

The world in which the kestrel moves, the world that it sees, is, and always will be, entirely beyond us. That there are such worlds all around us is an essential feature of our world.

An orange-crowned warbler perched in a shrub at the edge of the marsh, trying to ignore the little bundles of chaos that are yellow-rumped warblers that completely take over the shrubs this time of year. #birds

Today may be the day for me to play the lotto!

In 4.5 years I've *seen* two Pacific Wrens in the yard (maybe heard a few more)

Today TWO Pacific Wrens just runnin' all around the place - like right out in the open!

And posing for photos...

The pokeweed berries have also been late here in WI this year, providing food for some of our latest migrating birds. Here's a Yellow-rumped Warbler enjoying a few of the (toxic to people!) berries on a recent dreary fall day. 🪶 #NaturePhotography

November woods are bare and still;
November days are clear and bright;
Each noon burns up the morning's chill;
The morning's snow is gone by night.

When it's 60 degrees and sunny in Wisconsin in November, you take advantage of the weather to go down to the lake and take the most exuberant bath possible. #NaturePhotography #EastCoastKin 🪶
