Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) on a slim tree trunk facing vertically downwards.
#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BirdsInTheirElement, birds in their natural environment. In this case, it's a nuthatch, in classic pose.

Two American Robins face off in a concrete bird bath. Both have their beaks wide open, apparently yelling at each other. I watched the entire exchange, and it appeared that the bird on the right, whose back is to the camera but its face is visible, was teaching the other bird, seen in profile, how to take a bath. The bird on the left wasn't having it and despite several attempts, finally flew off.
It takes #Two to argue.

Wow.

Crested Caracara in some great light
Kicking off February with my favorite SE Arizona raptor, the Crested Caracara in fantastic light 🪶
I cry for all the Liams who do not have the public image that this one does and who are now languishing in horrid conditions. And I protest for them.
Wow, today was a real fucked one.
Let's do some of that again, but not most of it.
Definitely not most of of it.
Here's something that happened you DIDN'T know about, for I was the only one capturing, thus everyone NOT on bluesky is missing out!
I give you January 30th's Full Pelican 🪶
A very dark sky with the barest arc of the moon in the center right side. The cumulus looking clouds near the moon glow white to light grey and seem rusty orange in the middle of the frame. It was going to storm, and the clouds were changing shape and moving from right to left very rapidly.
#Clouds at night, back lit by the moon. #BlueSkyArtShow #StormySky
I sometimes despair that the camera can never really capture just how amazing the natural world can be. But sometimes, just sometimes, the winter light hits those reeds and all those reflections pop... #birds #birdphotography #birding #photooftheday #photography #NatureIsAmazing
For the #BlueSkyArtShow and the theme of #Clouds
A beautiful #ending to the day.

Today's #BirdoftheDay theme #FavoriteOfTheMonth. As I photographed this great egret in our local wildlife refuge it suddenly opened its wings to preen. I held the shutter down. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #egrets #birds #birdphotography #ornithology
A vibrant gazania flower with golden-yellow petals featuring bold reddish-brown stripes radiating from the center. Each petal has a dramatic dark band near the base. The flower’s center is a dense cluster of tiny yellow disk florets. The bloom is surrounded by silvery-green foliage and photographed from directly above, showing perfect symmetry.
Here’s your moment of zen

Thanks, Helen.
I took this macro photo of a glass shrimp resting on a starfish in Sogod Bay, Southern Leyte, Philippines. They are often seen in sea anemones with clownfish.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Michigan House Republicans openly threatening the funding of state courts if the Michigan Supreme Court adopts a rule that would prohibit most immigration arrests in courthouses, is not a side issue according to Michigan Advance Editor Jon King.
Instead, he says it’s a canary in the coal mine.
