A Sandhill Crane was strolling down the boardwalk, much to the displeasure of the Red-winged Blackbirds. Sandhill Cranes will eat Red-winged Blackbirds eggs and nestlings, so the Red-winged Blackbirds were attacking and doing their best to drive the Crane away.

The cunning folk may have the crow as their bird, but we witches have the swan. It’s they who gift us feathers for our cloaks. It’s they who take messages to our dead sisters and bring back wise counsel. Never an owned familiar, always an amplifier of magics. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Tiny steps across a giant world.
These little jacana chicks carefully navigate spiky leaves with oversized feet, side by side, as if on a grand adventure. Arnab Roy beautifully captures this soft and fleeting moment in the wild. 👏😍

The gape flange of a bird is the fleshy area where the upper and lower mandibles join together. In a fledgling bird the gape flange is particularly noticeable, as on this adorable young tufted titmouse. #birds #tuftedtitmousetuesday #EastCoastKin #naturephotography #PhotographersUnited

The Pipevine Swallowtail Complex describes the group of butterfly species that gain protection from predators by resembling these guys. The pipevines they eat as caterpillars make them toxic and bitter-tasting to birds. I see them often in my garden. 1/2 #butterflies #gardening #lepidoptera 🌱 🦋

A sad #TalonTuesday shot this week. This immature Bald Eagle has lost most of the feathers on its face and head for some reason. Any ornithologists out there able to explain why?

A less well populated trap last night in the cool evening featuring little of note. There was a single lovely Ruby Tiger, all smart and fresh.
@mothiduk.bsky.social is it possible to say whether this Coleophora is serratella please? Thanks.

A Sandhill Crane caught right in the middle of its landing. The way its wings spread, the gentle curve of its neck.
Beautifully captured by Christopher Dodds, showing just how graceful nature can be. 🤍👏
