A vagrant Common Cuckoo, seen in Riverhead, NY yesterday. After 3 hours waiting at the farm location, with no luck, we were alerted it was at the golf course and just before sunset, we got a great five-minute show! It's usual range is Asia, Europe & Africa! #NaturePhotography #BirdsOfbluesky #birds

Stone Age inhabitants of Europe had access to blue pigment, researchers recently found. So why isn't cave art ever blue? The blue pigments might have been used for cosmetic purposes instead. That's right: Stone Age make-up! #scicomm 🧪🐡 #grwm #history #makeuptips www.forbes.com/sites/evaams...

Oldest Blue Pigment In Europe Might Have Been Stone Age Make-Up

Blue pigment is much older than previously thought. Stone Age people had it, but didn't use it for cave art. It might have been a form of prehistoric make-up instead.

A great blue heron (Ardea herodias) puts on the brakes as it prepares to land. Photo taken at Isleta Lakes on October 23, 2025.

This heron has its legs outstretched and positioned forward of its body, in the final split-second before it lands. It has just flapped its outstretched wings forward to counter its forward momentum. The tail is fanned out, to help slow the bird's speed to almost nothing.

Each move a reflection, a reaction, an answer
The sweep of my wings and yours against the sky
A dance of two, both, the other sought after
Our song intertwined, and together we fly

Ever been photographing a heron as it looks for fish, then it looks at you and suddenly things get awkward... ?

📸 White-faced Heron

#BirdOfTheDay #birds #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching #birdwatchers #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #Canon #R5 #Australia

A full-body shot of a White-faced Heron ($Egretta~novaehollandiae$), standing in shallow, calm blue water. The heron has a long, slender neck and body with primarily blue-grey plumage on its back, wings, and body. Its face, from the top of its head to its throat, is white. The bird's legs are long and thin, with the lower sections and feet appearing yellowish-green. The heron is facing the camera with its head held high, looking directly at the viewer. In the foreground, there is a narrow strip of blurry, light-brown ground or sand. The background is a large expanse of clear, blue water.

Intense... Late evening. Carlos The Eastern Coyote (Uncle of WILE E.), looking handsome, as he prepares for his nightly hunt. Incredibly beautiful creatures, I have NEVER felt fear or threatened by any of them. Respect.

So like Rob #BirdOfTheDay I’m out for a good part of the day. Should be back at around 4 pm. Will repost as many as I can then. Probably not many comments though. So apologies. Leaving you with a 🌈 #BlueSkyMonday #photography #EastCoastKin

A dramatic seascape under a turbulent sky, with dark, choppy waves in the foreground and thick, rolling clouds sweeping across the horizon. Two faint rainbows emerge at either side of the image, framing the distant land beneath shifting light. The scene feels wild and elemental, capturing the beauty of a storm passing over open water.

#nowreading Illuminations by Walter Benjamin and edited by Hannah Arendt and read by @stefansecho.bsky.social. I haven’t read Benjamin since grad school and not all of his work. Stefan Rudnicki is a perfect choice to read this book. #audiobook #booksky

“It was an unforgettable moment“, said photographer Julien Looten when he saw the Carina Nebula with his own eyes — the big pink spot.

Paranal’s location in the southern hemisphere & Chile's uniquely #DarkSkies made this possible https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2542a/

The Milky Way band seemingly pouring into a telescope, right below the centre of the image. Within the Milky Way right above the telescope, the Carina Nebula is visible as a pink spot. One of the Magellanic Clouds is visible in the left side of the picture right above the horizon.
