For #smallbirdSaturday #AntilleanHummingbird taken in Dominica. Nicknamed “Fou Fou” which translates to Crazy Crazy. They are extremely territorial and seem to be in constant chase.
#EastCoastKin #BirdsOfBluesky #Birds #Wildlife #GreenSat #ColorADay
A tiny hummingbird perches on a thin branch in a tropical forest. Its body appears deep black in the shade, with a slender straight bill pointing forward. Rising from the top of its head is a narrow, upright crest that gleams turquoise, green, and blue, like a small mohawk. The bird sits alert and upright. Soft green leaves blur in the background, suggesting dense vegetation. Species and behavior: Antillean crested hummingbird (Orthorhyncus cristatus) This is a male Antillean crested hummingbird, native to the Caribbean. Males are instantly recognizable by their tall iridescent crest; females lack it entirely. The crest is erectile. It can lie flat and nearly disappear, then rise dramatically during courtship or territorial displays, allowing the bird to change its appearance instantly. Despite its tiny size, this species is highly aggressive. Males fiercely defend nectar sources and will chase off larger birds, insects, and rival hummingbirds. The brilliant crest color comes from structural iridescence, not pigment. The feathers reflect light at specific angles, so the crest can appear dull in shade and suddenly flash electric blue-green when the bird turns its head. Like all hummingbirds, it has an extreme metabolism. Its wings beat roughly 50–70 times per second, and its heart rate can exceed 1,000 beats per minute. To conserve energy at night, it enters torpor, lowering body temperature and metabolism until morning. The Antillean crested hummingbird is one of the very few hummingbird species with a true upright crest, making it one of the Caribbean’s most distinctive and charismatic birds.

A last minute post for the last post of the year. A #ZenopontoniaSoror shrimp on a Sea star with a forest of brittle stars for company. Happy, Healthy, Peaceful, New Year.
#RedWed #EastCoastKin #UnderwaterPhotography #PhotographersUnited #ArtYear
A close-up underwater photograph shows the surface of a sea star filling the entire frame. The sea star’s skin has a bold, repeating pattern of deep reddish-brown and creamy white, arranged in wavy, star-like shapes. Scattered across the surface are many small, raised orange bumps, each surrounded by tiny, hair-like spines, giving the skin a rough, bristly texture. Near the center of the image is a small shrimp, well camouflaged against the sea star. The shrimp is bright orange-red, about the length of one of the raised bumps. Its body is slender and slightly curved, with a pointed head and delicate legs tucked beneath it. Because its color closely matches the sea star, it blends in and is easy to miss at first glance. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the shrimp and the intricate textures of the sea star’s surface. The overall impression is of a richly textured, patterned landscape with a tiny, hidden creature resting quietly on it.

If anything, the events of the weekend should reinforce the idea that to these people, the Jones Act of 1917 is something that needs correcting.

An old barn has a weathered wooden exterior and a gambrel-style roof. A wire fence runs across the foreground and the surrounding field is filled with tall, dry grass. Behind the barn, low rolling hills stretch into the distance.

White Sands with @astridkallsen.bsky.social

There are so many moods possible in a shot like this. For this, I went with the overwhelming brightness of the sky and the sparseness of the landscape.

Limbo
In this
Body
Shit keeps
Happening
Around me
To me
Through me
I have seen
Burning oil
Fields
Why
No one knows
Yet the rich grow
Richer
While I
Enjoyed
Staring at
Phtos
Fundamental shift
Still a hunger
Gnaws
Loudly quiet
Disturbs serenity
Till a push to
Buy it now.

Sylvie
From
The woodlands
Peaceful
Midnight glades
Lit
By moon and
Firefly
Mysteries abound
Behind
Eyes
Knowingly bold
In wisdomed ways
That play across
Mischievous lips
Was my pleasure
To create with you
And a blessing
When you returned
For a bit of
Rage-doir
All the time smiling.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.
