The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WideOpenWings. Yesterday, I watched a couple of Mockingbirds as they went up against to each other to claim a tree they both wanted to perch in. They don't give up easily! #birds #wildlife #EastCoastKin

Goodnight my bluesky friends 😴 💕

Good morning ☕️ The first #dandelion I’ve seen so far this year. I’ve always found the detailing really interesting when viewed up close, and they are also one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide variety of pollinators. 🌿💛🍃☀️🌿💛🌿☀️🌿 #SundayYellow #SpringIsComing

One more look this morning at blooms from my Japanese Magnolia tree before our cold weather returns! 🌱🌿🍃 #FlowerReport #Flowers #Springtime #garden #EastCoastKin #nature #PhotographersonBluesky #photography

There were over two dozen Common Redpolls in my yard today. Here is a female for #BirdOfTheDay #BranchBirds. Redpolls frequently winter in Wisconsin, especially when food sources further north are scarce. 🪶

JAXA's (Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency) Kaguya captured this 2007 HD Earthrise using NHK cameras. On the Moon, Earth stays still because of tidal locking. This "rise" is actually the probe's 1.5km/s orbital speed at 100km altitude. A surreal view of our home from the stark lunar surface 🌙

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #WinterSurvivors: birds that stick around all winter. This #RedWingedBlackbird is at the northern edge of her year-round range. As the blizzard rages, she asks, "Why do I live where the air hurts my face?" #birds #photography #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography

per Alan the theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #WinterSurvivors, birds that remain throughout winter. A Black-capped Chickadee, one of the winter stalwarts on the Palouse, looking for larva in moss galls on a wild rose the other day. It posed for a good view of that black cap. 🪶 #birds

One of my more fun afternoons of bird watching involved this White breasted nuthatch and Downy woodpecker. When one would get a seed and cache it under the tree bark, the other would come and steal it. This went on for at least an hour when a chickadee joined in. A good afternoon. #BirdoftheDay 🪶

Life guard on duty. Fortunately the ice is thick in the bay on the south shore of Lake Superior, so Finlay hasn't had to rescue anyone. 🙏😁 There is a virtual ice fishing village further out. We'll see what warmer temps bring. Stay safe out there!

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OddCouples. This Limpkin and Gallinule duo look calm. But usually, the Limpkins are annoyed when they're cracking open an Apple snail and the gallinules hang around hoping to grab themselves a quick bite. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #wildlife

A normally aggressive blue jay knows its place in the pecking order and waits for the red-headed woodpecker to depart. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OddCouples, two different birds in one capture. #Birds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #Woodpeckers #Bluejay

My wool-felted scene: two male purple-crowned wrens having some beef.. a moment of avian drama on a branch. A territorial dispute over a female, perhaps?🤔 A custom piece for an Australian client, crafted in 2018. #birds #needlefelting #felt #craft #art #sculpture #wren #nature

Sound On....what do elk sound like? when they're 'chirping' they sound like the elk in the valley below this herd. Was unaware of the elk below these & their chirping startled me...sorry for the camera swing #nature #wildlife #elk
