Sir David Attenborough should win a Nobel Prize. Just birds, bugs, plants and pleasing things. Photos my own. Yeah, I know. My camera is not great.

I’ve helped a few window-strike victims. And I always take the opportunity to get close up photos, as long as the bird doesn’t get too stressed by being close

This morning I heard the dreaded sound of a bird strike on one of my windows. I investigated & found this stunned yellow-billed cuckoo. I gathered it up gently and let it recover on my porch rail, an easier launch point. After about 15 min, it flew away. High fives!

Sorry so grainy. I saw him a second time, in a very close tree, but by the time I got my phone out, he was gone. Haven’t seen him since.

It’s always a little thrill to spot a Red Velvet Ant…which is a wasp. So fast. (My finger for scale) 🪲

This house finch ran into my glass door. She was stunned, but eventually flew off. While she cleared the cobwebs I got this portrait. 🪶

It’s some sort of assassin bug for sure. If it’s a wheel bug, wait until the adults show up and you’ll be amazed.
