Hold On Tight

What’s this? Another new art piece? Lonely Vigil - I’ve had this bouncing around my head since I got back from Minnesota in November. Finally got it done. #art

The striking Red-crested Cardinal #birds #Argentina

#EmotionalSupportSpood The first Brown Creeper I ever found, and I fell in love 🤎 (Attidops cinctipes)

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

From my 2019 Month of Love series, a male American Kestrel offers a dragonfly as a courtship gift to a female. This Valentine's Day, make sure to let your valentine know they're loved by giving them the biggest bug you can find. 🪶🎨🐡

Artists, quote with something silly!

I guess today's #birdoftheday is #everydaybirds or #commonbirds? Not sure how or where the bird of the day theme originates... But I'll share my favorite common bird: The American Robin! They're supposedly harbingers of spring but they often stay put year-round, forming huge flocks in the winter.

It was a slightly warmer morning, but this sparrow kept its fluffy feathers — and stayed irresistibly cute ❤️ Sharing this for today’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme, #EverydayBirds 🪶 #モフ曜日 は定番となりつつある丸いスズメ😊 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #EurasianTreeSparrow #スズメ #birds #野鳥

A female Hooded Merganser communicating a message to a male Hooded Merganser. I think she wanted to go for a walk, because soon after this they were strolling along the icy shoreline together.

Ominous bird valentines.

Ima go Mountain Bluebird for the #blue theme of #birdoftheday picked by @robcrank68.bsky.social He knows he's pretty! He's like the blue version of that particular shade of fuchsia that makes your camera sensor freak out 😂 #birds #becurious 🪶

#WaterBirds is the #BirdoftheDay theme, with #Blue as the alt, so a Great Blue Heron works perfectly - with the blue breeding colouring around the eye as pointed out by @betsycooley.bsky.social and @everyheron.bsky.social on my close-up of the same Heron yesterday. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Nature

Today's #birdoftheday them is #blue? Well good thing I have many blue jays to photograph right outside my window 🩵

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OddCouples - two different birds in one capture Was heading out for a hawk and glanced up and saw an aerial dance between a red-tailed hawk and a crow. (of course it's not a nice dance—The crow was harrying the hawk to get it to leave!)

A Black and White Owl! I definitely wasn’t expecting to see an owl in the limited time I had in Costa Rica 🤩🤯 #birds #owls #CostaRica

Beep had some big opinions today 🐥🎶

Continuing with the American birds theme, one bird I really like to paint is the cardinal. This is the 3rd cardinal painting I've done and my favourite of the three. #watercolours #birdart 🪶

Probably my favorite little visitor to the suet feeders, a teeny tiny Ruby-crowned Kinglet! #birds

Cocoa Woodcreeper #birds #CostaRica

chicago would be so pretty if the drive was turned into a transitway/linear park

If a door gets left open here for any length of time it summons the elusive but impressive garage peacock.

another year of us not running a super bowl ad

How can Booger be so pretty and so silly looking at the same time

“Welcome to Red Tail Hawk Industries yearly staff appreciation week! We’d like to honor Jayne for her outstanding achievements in vocalizations!” @cornellbirds.bsky.social #BirdArtWeek2026

Starting up a new study in oils based on @nicodelort.bsky.social ‘s amazing photo. Getting all the color temps established first!

I ❤️ Minneapolis This ride was incredible, especially our interactions with folks at the memorials and with neighbors cheering on from their windows/porches. ICE out, now.

c r u m b s ? (went to a ceramic painting place for the first time and this is the plate I made)

I can drop into literally any city in North America in Google Maps (any city I’ve tried, even very car-centric ones). And pretty quickly find decent pedestrian or cycling improvements that happened in the past 5 or 10 years. Like this part of Columbus, Ohio that didn’t use to have sidewalks.

I’ve been wanting to get back into illustration lately and @cornellbirds.bsky.social #BirdArtWeek2026 is a great motivation to jump back in. For yesterday's theme of #HiddenBirds : an adult Cooper’s Hawk using whatever cover is available to ambush potential prey. 😎✌️🦅🪶 #coopershawk #birding

Long Frog is very shy with his Announcements but he shared this Loud News last year during an all night news bulletin!

It's going to be a big All Cormorants Are Beautiful day.

Good morning from the cormorant factory! We're a couple weeks off from seeing newborn dinosaurs, and in the meantime these dishonorably besmirched allies will be building the important infrastructure, both physical and uhh....extra physical... to keep the cormorant society thriving! 🪶 🧵

this really is the dumbest fucking timeline I hope this shit leads to the EU growing a spine
