Our model for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #NaturesPantry ( #birds w/ berries, seeds, or flowers) is an American Robin enjoying some bright red mountain ash berries.

An American Robin is perched on a leafy branch, leaning over and down and is plucking a round red berry from the tree. It's wings are spread wide for balance.

The Yellowknife Xmas Bird count is not one for the numbers- but if you want raven and ptarmigan this is your big shot!

Mountain Ash berries are a mainstay of urban wildlife. Birds will pluck them as soon as they are ripe until the trees are bare. If any fall to the ground, rabbits will clean up the remainder. #wildlife #YYC

I found another alien in my yard tonight. This is some kind of planthopper nymph, but I have no idea what species.

Perhaps #bugsky can help!

They are around virtually every marsh and their calls are part of our summer soundtrack.

I found this Emerald Tanager taking a bath in a dry leaf full of water. It spent a long time preening and drying out afterwards.

We don’t see them every winter, but in an irruption year, they come down from the Arctic and spend some winter time with us!

This male Giant Cowbird was doing a bit of courtship display today here in southern Costa Rica. I never saw the female.

I really love the Speckled Tanagers in the south of #CostaRica. Such exquisite coloration.

a formline design of a scarlet macaw from its side. its beak is partially open; its tongue connects to two humanoid designs that surround it on either side. the tongues of the humanoids also connect back to the macaw, creating a continuous red line that circles around from its mouth to the back of its head. a couple of monstera leaves are also included in the design.

I was so close to this Crowned Woodnymph that the focus was too narrow to get the throat and eye sharp.

Imo the real version of "Nobody wants to work anymore" is nothing works anymore. If the business you're dealing with isn't outright defrauding you it's incompetent at the most basic things
