This is the same tom taken a few moments apart. The flock lives in my (very urban) neighborhood and he was hanging with his hens. 🪶

Let’s talk about the importance of how birds utilize Saguaros in the Sonoran Desert 🌵 🧵 Woodpeckers & Flickers do the heavy lifting and create the cavities.

Bird sounds.
A four panel comic titled Bird Sounds. In panel 1, labeled thrush, a wood thrush sings its beautiful eeohlay song against a forest background. In panel 2, labeled wren, a winter wren delicately sings tweedly tweedly tweedly. In panel 3, labeled warbler, a yellow warbler delicately sings sweet sweet. In panel 4, labeled heron in a death metal font, a heron screams KRAAGH against a background of fire.

There's a point in macro photography when a flower starts looking like it's from another world, or even under the ocean. 📷🌿🌼

Very close picture of a tiny pink flower that looks a bit like a sea anemone.

Ah, the fascinating #planthopper nymph, survives by mimicking an Alien Facehugger. Any casual garden predator would steer clear of this cutie for fear of an alien egg implant and eventual chest burstage. They've all seen the movies.

A close-up photo of a small, mottled brown planthopper nymph, possibly Acanalonia conica (Green coneheaded planthopper), clinging upside down on a green, thorny, raspberry stem. A distinct white, fluffy waxy exudate is visible at the nymph's rear.

Sure, when I have a camera I love bugs. Any other time I flinch like I'm being divebombed. 📷🌿🪰

What are you looking at? 🪶
A brown goose walks down an asphalt driveway, its head turned to look straight at the camera. In the background beyond the curb is a tree without leaves and a soccer field.

I've been calling my local great blue heron Frank for about a year now. The other day I heard a total stranger call him Frank. My work here is done. 🌿📷🪶

A lemur chowing down on the appetizers. It seems I'm not the only one who always orders the edamame. 🦊 #SanDiegoZoo

My local bird patch fledged 11 raptors this spring

4 Cooper’s hawks
2 white-tailed kites
2 great horned owls
2 red-shouldered hawks

…and 1 red-tailed hawk

As they mature, they try different hunting techniques

This baby thought it could just pull a squirrel out of a hole standing next to it 🤦‍♂️📷🌿🪶

My favorite smurf-like mushroom! Mycena amicta is a special little blue mushroom that, in my experience in the PNW, grows in old-growth forests along the coast 🔵💙 🍄📷 📸🎞 🟢 🌱🌿 📷

i had fallen out of love with photography for a bit, but adding some new lenses has really picked it up. this ultra wide 10mm voigtlander lens has really excited me. these are some of my favourite photographs i’ve taken. i’m really proud of my work. i thought i’d lost the spark!

#Birds of the Day: Cedar Waxwings
For centuries, scientists didn’t think birds had taste buds because they didn’t see papillae (tiny bumps on the tongue) where taste buds reside for humans. It was later discovered that birds DO have taste buds, but they are at the base of the tongue, or even on 1/x
