Okay, the first time I posted for #BirdOfTheDay #lunchtime, I was thinking of my lunchtime. Now I see that it was supposed to be the BIRD's lunchtime. Trying again, this time with a Merganser and her lunch.

Aquarium Veterinarian Dr. Ri Chang recently implemented a treatment that helped a stranded otter pup recover from the deadly disease acanthocephalan peritonitis. That pup was successfully released in the wild in September! Read more about the Aquarium’s otter program: mbayaq.co/497BqaG

After four days of continuous low cloud, mist and rain, it was a welcome surprise to get some clear sky tonight. Not quite the full Beaver Moon but a lot more than I thought I’d get to see. #astrophotography #photography #nightsky #moon

You might have gathered that #BirdOfTheDay is a popular one for me as I love photographing birds in flight & it makes it a little a bit special if the bird is dining out too #lunchtime #birdsinflight #birds #holidayrobin

Hawaiʻi has 18 plant species with only a single wild individual left. Dozens more around the world hang by the same thread. We count what’s visible but most extinctions happen before we even know the species exist, plants especially. #SixthMassExtinction www.hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/2...

On a day where I wasn't seeing much, I decided to head to a spot where I'd seen Brown Creepers in the past in hopes of seeing one. And I did! As they travel up trees, these birds use their tail feathers as a prop, similar to Woodpeckers.

October marked the conclusion of #TheRescueEffect, our three-month campaign focusing on promoting adoption. Between the 600 animal organizations that participated and the $2 million we provided in funding, we found homes for hundreds of animals. Read more: https://bit.ly/47F57xl
