For #squirrelsaturday, a squirrel on a sunny day in New York City. This was in Robert F Wagner Jr Park.

This is Angel Falls in Venezuela, with its 807-metre sheer plunge - the tallest waterfall on our planet.

Except - it isn't. There's one that's bigger. MUCH bigger. And when I learned about it this week, my mind was fully blown.

OK. Buckle up! (Especially if you don't have a head for heights.)

It's almost like there really isn't a "problem" here.

Except for the actual problem of people from other countries increasingly not coming here because they feel they're not welcome - with our economy suffering as a result?

Not sure if this is an early #SundaySquirrel or late for #SquirrelSaturday. I guess it depends where and when you see this.

A late addition to #squirrelsaturday. This is what I believe is a Fox Squirrel at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan.

Two ships that ran aground in the Detroit River, the RT Hon Paul J Martin yesterday, and the Barbro G in November 2023. There’s been some others, but these were the only ones I got pictures of. #maritime #shipping

Happy Halloween from Luella. Given to Mary Davis when her parents visited from sea. Mary lived with her grandparents until age 5, then joined her parents at sea from 1873-1878. Luella has “real hair” & watches you while you sleep. 👻

It is said that baseball is America's Pastime, but the first recorded baseball game in North American history happened north of their border.
It was way back in 1838 when two teams came together in a cow pasture near present-day Beachville, Ontario.
This is the story.

Groundhogs, chipmunks & gray squirrels are all in the Sciuridae family. These are all fellow urban dwellers that I've photographed. #Mammals 🌿

Coyote and Norther Harrier are hunting in the marsh. Looks like the beginning of an interesting fable #mammals #birds 🌿

For the #birdoftheday, here’s a video of a pelican I saw in Washington state a few weeks ago. This was my first time seeing them in person!

PLEASE TURN OFF OUTDOOR FANS AT NIGHT! Fans can injure or kill bats. This California leaf-nosed bat has some head trauma from a fan run-in. Please keep any outdoor fans off all night even if they don't have lights. 🦇

A M6.9 earthquake struck Cebu island in the Philippines today, causing at least 20 deaths.

The rupture seems to have occurred on an unmapped fault, started below the ocean and continuing to the southwest, passing near populated areas of Cebu.
