A great message and pictures!

Happy Sunday friends... It doesn't matter how small you are, only matters if you get the job done. This Willow Flycatcher is a fierce hunter of insects which makes all of our lives better as the result. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography 🪶🦉📷 #easstcoastkin

The Willow Flycatcher can be seen in the center right of frame, body facing left, with their head turned back, looking right; on a thin salvia plant. From allaboutbirds.org., Willow Flycatchers are small, slender flycatchers, but they are one of the larger members of the Empidonax genus. They have a fairly long, thin tail and wings. The bill is broad. Like other flycatchers, they tend to perch upright. Willow Flycatchers are brownish olive overall with a slight yellow wash to the belly. They have 2 whitish wingbars and a white throat that contrasts with the brownish olive breast. The white eyering seen on most Empidonax flycatchers is very thin and nearly absent on Willow Flycatchers.

See ALT in first photo. A close-up of the diminutive Willow Flycatcher, looking for some insects to ingest.

Reflected pools of light swirl beneath the autumn hues of gold and green. An October blue sky peeks between the branches of fall-colored leaves.

Reflected pools of light swirl beneath the autumn hues of gold and green. An October blue sky peeks between the branches of fall-colored leaves. Thick brush strokes of oil paint capture the movement and poignant beauty of the scene. Erin's unique style of Open Impressionism involves placing brush strokes side-by-side without blending, creating a mosaic of color and texture across the canvas.

Always worth pausing over autumnal colours 🍂

Emma Mitchell @silverpebble2.bsky.social · 5d

Liquidambar leaf palette just now👇🏼. Pause for a moment if you’re feeling anxious-your brain’s likely to release dopamine due to a positive response to colour gradation, certain bright colours & looking at images our brains find appealing. A pause here will make your day slightly easier to tackle 🍁

In Welsh mythology, the giant king is named Brân, a word that means "crow" or "raven". His name directly connects him to the raven and crow, reinforcing the bird's association with kingship in Celtic lore.
Art my own.
