A close-up of a Tufted Titmouse with his/her tuft blowing in the wind. I love their black eyelashes. The thin black feathers around the break are rictal bristles, which are common in many birds but their size and placement differs between species.

I'd never heard of #tugrupite at the start of the month and now I have very strong feelings about it.

Take a look through your rock collection, or think of the one from your childhood. Look through your bracelets, or the magnets on your fridge. If you live in a place with red soil, just look down. The answer is there.

Usually the Great Egrets like to fish further out, but this one landed on the railing before choosing a spot to fish next to the boardwalk.

Some phrases are so well-known, you don't need to say the whole thing to be understood.
E.g., you can say "birds of a feather" without saying "flock together."
-“When life hands you lemons…”
-“Great minds…”
-“When in Rome…”
Such partial phrases are called 'anapodotons.'
