Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CollectingFood -- birds with food in their beaks. This female #Red-wingedBlackbird was perched on a cattail and had a freshly caught caterpillar (Concord, MA - 6/12/25) 💚🐛

The inside of a lava tube — a tunnel formed when flowing lava hardened on the outside while molten lava continued moving through the center. When that molten core eventually drained away, it left behind this long, cave‑like passage. Photo take at the Lava Beds in California.
