I was in Maine this past summer to see the Atlantic Puffins for the first time. Awesome experience. We took a boat out to an island claimed by both Canada & the U.S. The Puffins didn't care who claimed it as they were the biggest inhabitants. #birdoftheday

A white-tailed deer and her reflection in my backyard on the edge of the woods. The snow is slowly melting into pools of water. This is the area where marsh marigolds usually come up later in the spring. #Stunday #Spring #Wisconsin

I always wondered why Robins wouldn't come to my yard, although many other species do. Now, I see at least one each day. One morning, three of them, though not friendly to each other. The only thing I'm doing differently is I'm rewilding. That might have helped! #Texas #wildlifephotography 🪶

Bees are small, fragile, and easily overlooked. And yet, in their heavy pollen-laden wings, they hold something of the planet's balance. With every flight, with every touch of the petals, the bee gathers not only nectar—it gathers life, color, hope.

Glacier Lily an early season native wildflower on the Palouse. Only a few inches tall these are built to survive the cold March winds and late season snows. Not easy to spot if you're not looking for them; are well worth the effort to find. And you don't have to be concerned about ticks in March 💚

Per Alan @alan678.bsky.social the #BirdOfTheDay theme for Saturday is #blue any bird with blue in its coloring. Here's an Indigo Bunting. Not the best photo of an Indigo Bunting, but it's the best I have and they are blue 🪶
