Thanks Joe, it looked fun! The adults were all about business but the young monkeys mad fun with their climbing around

Lovely shot! This is a great reference shot because these two are so tricky to tell apart 👏

I couldn’t get enough of these monkeys.

The little babies are so unbelievably cute and playful.

A barred owl is perched on a bare diagonal branch, looking over its shoulder at the camera. To the left of the owl a Steller’s jay has its beak open, mid-squawk. The background is a jumble of green leaves and brown branches, mostly out of focus.

A surprisingly common #MixedPair. When barred owls hang out in the woods the Steller’s jays are often nearby, sounding an alarm. #birdoftheday #nature #ThursJay #birds #photography

For #ThursJay, an American #Crow with some walnut in his beak, that he had no trouble extracting from the shell he broke open.

I couldn’t believe when it lifted its foot out of the water 😂

This family of birds have the largest feet in proportion to their body size of any animals! 🤯 they can use them to walk across lilly pads floating on the water

No shaming, I’m just impressed!

I couldn’t believe it, truly comically large feet

Definitely a nice little splash of color!

A white-winged coot standing in shallow water, looking off to the side. It has an all black body and head, with a white bill and a large yellow crest on its face. In the water underneath it it’s large paddle shaped feet are visible

A White-winged Coot. Super similar to it’s American Coot cousin, it mostly differs in its bill and the shield on its face. It still has those big goofy feet!

Wow it really does! I love examples of this kind of thing

Thanks Kat! 🙏

Thanks Dave! I do enjoy an unpretentious bird

A grayish baywing standing on top of a plant against a dark green and white background. It’s a small bird with a gray/brown body and head, chestnut brown wings, and a black mask on its eyes.

A Grayish Baywing. Not the flashiest bird we saw on the trip but a lovely mix of gray and chestnut.

Thanks! It’s unfortunately among the many things that are unpleasant to think about these days 😔

Gorgeous photos Stephanie!
