This red-eyed vireo was hard at work building its nest—tucked high in the leaves and stitched together with spider silk and plant fibers. Amazing to watch up close.

A single yellow trout lily flower with six bright-yellow curved petals and dark purple stamens rises above the forest floor, surrounded by dried leaves and mottled green foliage. The background is softly blurred woodland.

A brilliant male Northern Cardinal brightens up the winter thicket, standing out against the tangle of bare branches.

A vibrant male Northern Cardinal with striking red plumage perches on a tangle of leafless, intertwining branches. Its black facial mask sharply contrasts with the brilliant red feathers, and its crest is raised slightly. The bird’s posture is upright, with its back facing the camera, offering a clear view of its sleek, pointed tail and well-groomed wing feathers. The dull, muted background of blurred branches and earthy tones enhances the cardinal’s vivid coloration. Its small, sturdy beak is visible in profile, and its sharp claws grip the thin branch securely. The intricate network of crisscrossing twigs and vines frames the bird, adding depth and texture to the natural scene.
