Happy #FroggyFriday! This gray treefrog is about the size of a dime. (Not too many birds today where I went.) #PalmSprings #Nature #Photography

A small gray frog clings to the base of a tree which has bark and dead brown moss on it. There is a small black line from nose through eye and extending back a bit. Front right arm is extended and grabbing on to the tree and front right leg is seen tucked up under the abdomen.

Thanks so much, Jayne! Thinking of you as today was to be our meetup. If you look closely, you will notice 4 vertical shadows spaced evenly. This shot was actually taken through a metal fence with vertical slats. I was shocked at how good it looked despite that.

It’s always exciting to see the roadrunner! I always point them out to people if they are walking by.

Thanks, Scott! I always think of the French flag.

Tom @birdfan.bsky.social · 1d

Hahaha! And thank you for the compliment.

Hi Jon, I had that exact problem yesterday with a photo. I eventually gave up and came back today. This is a new issue I’ve never seen.

Meep, Meep!! As promised here is the greater roadrunner from yesterday. S/he is nowhere near the coyote pictured earlier. 😜

Roadrunner standing on a small rise in the sand facing us. S/he is distracted by something to our left. The crest is up, and the tail is raised. The baby blue/white/red eye stripe is visible. The background is blurred out greenery.

The little back-lit cattails look like fireworks. 🎆 🤩

Il sole, tramontando dietro una collina ricoperta di alberi, illumina e fa brillare le spighe di pabbio comune (setaria viridis) che crescono spontanee ai margini di un prato.
