Six months ago this weekend, Clay-coloured Sparrow parent was navigating the tangle of summer, delivering food to their nestlings #birds 🌿

A small brown streaky bird grips a stalk of sage. It is carrying a green caterpillar in its beak. The bird is framed by silver-grey foliage and purple flowers.

This bobtail squid burrowing into the sand is already adorable, but please watch till the very end!

It sticks out its little arms and earnestly sprinkles sand over itself 🦑𓂃◌𓈒𓐍

Murder in cold blood.
Don't believe what TFG Regime is saying .... believe what you saw. If ICE can murder innocent people ... then we're ALL sitting ducks. The agent was NOT in danger of being hit. The video doesn't lie. Renee Good was murdered in cold blood.

Are we going to let them kidnap and murder our children now...?

BREAKING: ICE and Border Patrol were filmed outside a Minneapolis high school pepper-spraying students as armed agents swarmed the entrance. Staff tried to force them off campus. Kids ran in panic. Trump removed school protections. This is state violence against children

A red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) checking me out as it loops overhead. Photo taken at Whitfield Wildlife Conservation Area near Belen, New Mexico on December 17, 2025.

#nature #naturephotography #birds #hawks

Looking up at a hawk with its wings and tail spread against a flawless blue sky. The sun is behind the hawk, so the flight and tail feathers have light diffusing through them. The undersides of the wing are white with thin dark stripes (on the flight feathers) and dark patches. The tips of the flight feathers are dark as well. The primaries at the ends of the wings are spread, not unlike fingers. The head is dark; the hawk is looking straight at the camera. The breast and belly are white with a band of dark speckles. In this light, the tail looks very pale red.

an indigo bunting for #BlueTue #ColorADay #Birds #Photography

an indigo bunting is a smallish blue bird - this one stopped to sit on a branch as it was traveling through Galveston, Texas on migration(I think) - the blue is so intense - i tried decreasing saturation a bit, but this is how it came out of the camera. OM and Olympus cameras tend to overdo the blues though -

A Scarlet Kingsnake (Lampropeltis elapsoides) from NE Louisiana. These small (<24in) kingsnakes are mimics of the venomous Eastern Coral Snake (Micrurus fulvius) and a joy to photograph. #herps #snakes #NaturePhotography 🌿

Side image of a brightly colored snake, posed on a leaf and facing right. The front quarter of the snake is in the image, the body starting at lower right to middle left where it curves back to the right, with the head and neck in an S-shaped curve. The snake is a banded tricolor, as follows a wide red band, followed by a narrow black band, then a wider white band, another narrow black band, and then repeat. The neck and upper and lower jaws are white, while the top of the head and the nose are red.

I struggled with the Purple-throated Mountain-gems today. They're less common than some of the other #hummingbirds and they're a bit more shy.

I like the light on this photo, as it almost looks like an illustration rather than a photo.
