Apparently the #herps feed doesn't pick up tags in replies? Gonna boost this one. For a shot that's barely in focus, overexposed and through a smudged lens - I'm inordinately proud of capturing the meme moment.

Anyone want to help Bird Alliance of Oregon get to 1000 YouTube subscribers so that we can monetize our videos? #birds www.youtube.com/@BirdAllianc...

Figured I'd share these nice little brown birds with everyone.

Please bring out your #PhotoFailFriday shots! So there I was watching hundreds of birds flying in to roost at sunset. They move fast and the light was low so there were a lot of shots like this. What is that bird even doing?! #WorstBirdPic #Blurd #birds 🌿

Buckle up, it's Monday. Have a good week y'all (Ruby-throated Hummingbird) #birds 🌿

Crested Lark having a good shake out and floof. Look how well it blends in with the pine needle surroundings! #birds

I found this Black-throated Green Warbler catching bugs beneath the forest canopy, bathed in green light from above. #birds 🌿

Red-winged Blackbirds are expert bug hunters. #birds 🌿

The Silver-spotted Skipper is one of my favorite summer butterflies. So fuzzy! #inverts 🌿

Hop the Scary Fox's summer coat is so pretty. She's blonde almost all the way up to her shoulders 🦊🩶💛🤍

Better shots from Matt's phone of yesterday's owls 🪶

Every time I stumble on a lady slipper I'm enchanted by their ephemeral beauty. This is a Pink Lady's Slipper, one of the more widely distributed species here. 🌿 #naturephotography

Me, diving into some really good ice cream😂 #birds #hummingbirds #gardens

The Downy Woodpecker youngsters were learning about suet today - the red cap on top of his head indicates a young male - the male adults have a vivid red patch on back of their head - the female is bracing her tail feathers 🌿🪶

The little ruby throated hummingbird was enjoying the bee balm today!! #birds

Eastern Kingbirds always look spiffy. #birds 🌿

This Twelve-spotted Skimmer was looking spectacular, posing next to the pond. #invertebrates 🌿

This cute pic was a fluke… I had flopped down in the shade to cool off, and taken off my hat and glasses, when I saw something move in the corner of my eye. I shot blind, not even sure these critters were in the frame! Dark-eyed Junco feeding juvenile. Kitty Islet, Victoria BC (July 4, 2024) 🪶

This Sandhill Crane looks like he's seen too much...mainly mud. #birds 🌿

Hello there #TuesJay. 🪶

A small Plover party. The lighter one is a Piping Plover and the other two are Semipalmated Plovers. Some of my favorite birds! (Ok, they're almost all my favorites) #birds 🌿

The Canada Warbler is a bird that I rarely see during migration, so I was very excited to find one in its breeding range. In typical warbler fashion, he only gave me a brief glimpse before ducking back into the brush. #birds 🌿

This Northern Parula was singing its heart out, one of many in the same prime nesting area. #birds 🌿

i love watching them hunt they’re so awkward and then BAM fish in mouth. he ran from out of the water and got himself a biggun’! 🪶📸 #birds #nature #CTShoreline #fish #photography

I love baby bird season! I remember thinking there was NO way this red-winged blackbird could eat that mantis whole. I was wrong. Good job mama bird! Huntley Meadows in VA, 2021. #birds #birding

Bugs are pretty awesome actually #invertebrates #dragonflies 🌿

Despite the similarities, this adorable bird is not a Sandhill Crane colt...🪶

I try to remember to "look up, down, and all around" when wandering in nature, but yesterday I happened to hear this Osprey calling before seeing them. Thanks for the "heads-up", beauty! 💚 #Critterday #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #Photography #NaturePhotography #SonomaCoast #Ocean #iNat 📷🌿🪶

Juvenile little blue heron was hanging around with the egrets today 🪶

You'd think the Cedar Waxwing would have an edge in a dispute with a Red-eyed Vireo, but it turns out that vireos are both scrappy and sneaky. #birds 🌿

At the end of a long hike, the skies suddenly opened up. We were almost to the car when a pair of Sandhill Cranes appeared in the rain. This one just looked at me with disinterest as I awkwardly balanced my camera under the umbrella. #birds 🌿

Good morning! #birds

Why does this rabbit look like he wants to send people on quests, or maybe grant wishes? 🌿🦊

I was standing at the beach watching pelicans when this Caspian Tern flew directly in front of me. They're the largest tern species and quite impressive close up. #birds 🌿
