It’s #Caturday and there is much purring from Cheesecake because we a finally home from Costa Rica. The purring ensures that I won’t immediately kick him off of the table.🐈

Flying home from Costa Rica tomorrow. In the meantime here are some Honduran White Bats sleeping under a leaf. #wildlife

Resplendent Quetzal! We’re in Monteverde Costa Rica in the cloud forest right now. 🪶

We went to a butterfly garden while we’re here in Costa Rica and saw these beautiful Blue Morpho and Malachite butterflies

Here’s a Red-eyed Tree Frog to start your day, one of the wonderful creatures we’ve seen so far in Costa Rica. 🐸

Fruit Loops anyone? 🪶

The day after we arrived in Costa Rica we saw a Lesson‘s Motmot. This is straight from my camera. 🪶

If you put a pillow on a table a cat will come. Cheesecake is holding down the fort on #Caturday with my son and daughter while we are in Costa Rica.

I saw strings of Snow Geese go by yesterday, went inside to get my camera and then no more geese. 😭 So here are some #ThrowbackThursday pics instead. 🪶

#WidgeonWedesday is brought to you by an American Widgeon. 🪶

Two Ruddy Turnstones for #Twosday. 🪶

This tennis ball, aka American Goldfinch, would like a word with the groundhog about that 6 more weeks of winter thing. #floof 🪶

It's #WoodDuckWednesday and and Mr Wood Duck is looking forward to canoodling on Valentines Day. 🪶

Since I'm at a loss about what to post today I'll go with two views of Kicker Rock in Galapagos for #rockintuesday. We circumnavigated it as the sun went down waiting for sun to reflect off of it.

It's Monday and the Andean Guan is wondering what this week will hold.🪶

Cheesecake contemplates life before emerging from his cat cave. #Caturday 🐈

Reminder - the Plate-billed Mountain Toucan is still watching you this week. 🪶

Listen up - it's #WoodDuckWednesday! 🪶

Happy #Twosday! Since it's still winter here 🥶 I'm basking in photos from warmer times, like these White Ibis in the Ding Darling NWR. 🪶

The Plate-billed Mountain Toucan will be your overlord this week, sitting smugly at the equator where the groundhog has no sway. 🪶

Cheesecake in action with his catnip banana. #Caturday

Cheesecake goes bananas 🍌 over his new toy on #Caturday 🐈

I've been going through my hummingbird photos for a painting class and the Booted Racket-tail from the cloud forest in Ecuador always makes me smile with those fluffy white pants and tail feathers longer than its tiny body. It's also a photography nightmare trying to get it all in focus.🪶

It's #ThrowbackThursday and since it's been so freaking cold here is a throwback to a visit to the Ding Darling NWR on Sanibel Island where it was warm and there were Roseate Spoonbills. 🪶

It's good to be a Wood duck on #WoodDuckWednesday. 🪶

Going with the #BirdOfTheDay theme a Brown Inca demonstrates that #BrownIsBeautiful. #hummingbird 🪶

Now that it's super cold and the birds are flocking to our feeders the Coopers Hawks are visiting more often. This juvenile has a stylish bracelet. 🪶

Here’s a Cheesecake pose from above . He just reminded me that I needed to post a #Caturday pic. 🐈

It's #FlamingoFriday and this is me trying to escape the cold weather saying "nope, nope, nope.

Here's a #ThrowbackThursday back to 2022 when for a month the usually elusive Belted Kingfisher was available for photos in my favorite park. I keep hoping for a repeat. 🪶

It's time for #WoodDuckWednesday! 🪶

It's been so cold here that I've had to warm up looking at pictures from Sanibel FL. Here's a #Twosday pic of Tricolor Herons. "Look at my magnificent takeoff...wait, he's behind me, isn't he?"

I promised @horstp8r.bsky.social I would post some of Cheesecake's professional shots from his breeder when he was 6 months old so here are a couple. I acquired Cheesecake when he was 16 months old after his first owner died. #CatsofBlueSky 🐈

It's Monday, so it's time to get out there and stick it to the man. 🪶

It’s #Caturday and I don’t know if Cheesecake could be any cuter. 🐈

Happy Friday! Sometimes I can't get to my computer with all my photos because my daughter is currently using that room. So today here's an Indigo Bunting from a shared folder titled Buntings. Because buntings...🪶

It's #WoodDuckWednesday and here's a Wood Duck to brighten up your day. 🪶

There's a new predator in the 'hood. Red-shouldered Hawk hanging around near my backyard. 🪶

It's #WoodDuckWednesday and here is the first Wood Duck of 2026. I'm not sure he's too happy about, though. 🪶

During this dreary time of year I'm looking back at photos from a 2024 visit to the Ding Darling NWR on Sanibel. I hope this Roseate Spoonbill brightens your timeline. 🪶

Tiptoeing into Monday like this Snowy Egret, except I don't have any fabulous yellow boots. 😭🪶

Cheesecake is reaching out to his fans on #Caturday 🐈
