Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge protects more than 48,000 acres of southern New Jersey coastal habitats. It’s worth protecting

Great Bay is vital to New Jersey. It plays a critical role in the coastal ecosystem by providing flood protection through its bay islands. It hosts significant ecological habitats. It’s worth protecting

I saw a Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker again today. 😊🪶
Unfortunately, I got bitten by a mosquito while taking this shot—despite wearing gloves and using repellent.
These little villains show no mercy! 😣🦟

A Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker clings to a tree trunk, photographed from behind. The bird’s black and white patterned feathers stand out against a softly blurred background of green and yellow foliage. 木の幹にとまるコゲラを後ろから撮影した写真。羽の白黒模様が、緑と黄色のやわらかくぼけた背景の中で際立っている。

Same male Western Bluebird backside, just a branch higher in the tree and framed better with bokeh balls. Lots of them.

A female Widow Skimmer Dragonfly (Libellula luctuosa) from this morning's walk at the local millpond.
#Invertebrates #Dragonflies
📷🌿(🐉-🪰)
Still looking for a male, who would have white areas on the wings, and a blue body to pose for me this season. Here we have a female dragonfly (or perhaps an immature male) with the characteristic dark patches on the wings and a yellow and brown body. Perching on a hawkweed stem with a background of dried grass and yellow flowers.

My name is Bayly Winder, and I am the Democrat who will defeat Jeff Van Drew and flip New Jersey's 2nd blue.

I know what it takes to serve in government and fight for our people. Van Drew caves to this White House. I won't.

Repost this and give me a follow. Let's win this.
