China, Russia and the ‘Dragon-Bear’ embrace

Not sure if this should come with an advisory, but this pair of Scarlet Mormon butterflies locked in an amourous situation does create some interesting symmetry. Given the names of this species, would you call this the 'missionary' position?

Spotted at the Toronto Zoo.

Well my lunch time walk gave me my best look yet at the Scarlet Tanager. That bumper mulberry crop has been awesome. No complaints about that. 👀😂 #birds

The recent Supreme Court decision would not be happening if the country voted for Kamala Harris instead. Hope all who refused to vote for Kamala are proud of yourselves - folks have less rights cos of you.

LIFER!! During our vacation, I met two very tame red-necked phalaropes while birding late in the evening (cheers to 22-hour daylight) at Lake Mývatn in northern Iceland. They waited patiently as I got to my tummy for some photos. This lake is renowned for birdlife, and it did not disappoint! #birds
