Unbelievably smooth looking beige and peach bird with black eye mask and jaunty head crest is perched on a bare twig look intensely at something. The weekend?
Looking forward to the weekend like

They might be grumbling about the winter they had down here. “Could have just stayed in the frigid north and saved myself the trip”
Thank you!
A round beige and white shorebird stands on a jetty on one leg. Its head is tucked back around between its wings in the back but its eyes are still watching the camera.

That is a pretty wild ratio
Fabulous shot. They’re such beauties
Brett, you are giving me hope with these fantastic captures. There is still good in the world apparently
They should be there soon! Although I doubt they appreciated the harsh winter we had
A very bright yellow orange adult male hooded oriole is perched at a feeder. His face and neck and wings are black. His wings have a couple white stripes. The foreground is blurry bright light gray native plants.
Getting multiple visits daily by this handsome guy!

I can’t believe it’s that time again! Hurray
The universe knows we all need this adorableness!
A gray duck with brown head and white breast floats in blue water lit by pretty golden light.
A lot of the delightful winter ducks will be moving on soon. Here’s an elegant Northern Pintail

An old log floats in blue water and is reflected beautifully below. It’s all bathed in a gorgeous golden glow.
Golden sun + water = magic

I have just started watching the Expanse and wow is it good. Your rec stuck in my head so I wanted to say thank you!
Often nature moments are envisioned and waited for.
You see something or imagine it might happen, and you have to plan and return multiple times
Often it never happens
Then there are the completely unexpected encounters
Like a baby goose hopping on mamas back
And it's FUCKING ADORABLE!

Those are some excellent crabs! Great photos. Also 7 11 crab? Interesting
(Wakes up much too early after a late shift, blinks sleepily) "What? We're crab posting? All right then!" (Here are two absolute units, ID in the alt-txt.) :) 🌿📷🐙🦀
I’m looking forward to heading down this rabbit hole. Seeing a good lichen-y branch is always exciting

merganser looking at me as he floats by the public docks 🪶📸

They sure are! This is very sweet
I mean, you did make her life a million times better 😊
What a treat!
And she clearly loves you a whole lot!
A peeper in the open? How very unexpected!
She’s awesome! Fabulous spots
When I first saw this lizard, I thought it was a western fence lizard, but upon further inspection, I realized it must be a southern sagebrush lizard. The scale size and pattern were slightly different. Now that I’ve identified the lizard, can you #FindThatLizard?
