The female mallard duck on the left has more than a few #RuffledFeathers for #BirdOfTheDay, but the male on the right seems not at all amused. Photo'd Mar. 2025 at Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna, #Virginia. #Photography #Birds #EastCoastKin #Nikon #DSLR #LightroomClassic #ContentCredentials

Hello Bluesky! Photographing wildlife is always a challenge, as you never know when the perfect moment will strike. Despite the harsh light, I manage to capture this shot. What do you think? I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! #Canon R5 EF 100-400 II w1.4TC #Birds #Photography #EastCoastKin

Have you ever seen the fastest animal on Earth? well, meet the Peregrine Falcon. In a hunting dive, they can exceed 320 km/h (200+ mph) — faster than a cheetah, faster than a Formula 1 car! #birds #wildlife #animals #photography #nature

Rob’s chosen #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StareDown (birds looking at you) (Alt theme is #Gulls) @robcrank68.bsky.social - This is one of my favorites, a Blackburnian Warbler from our banding station in the Florida Keys back in 2003. Check out those rictal bristles! #birds #warbler

Today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #staredown. This mallard was definitely looking at me when I took this photo, although it's more of a shy sideways glance than a stare. 🪶 #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #photography #birdphotography #BlueskyMonday #MallardMonday

A baby roughskin newt on moss; an old photo. One of many moved off the road over the years, as they migrate from natal ponds to the winter forest to forage. Somewhere I have a video of this little one's climb from my hand up the rock to this summit. #moss #bryology #newt #taricha #herps

When I photographed this butterfly (I think a checkered white, Pontia protodice) last weekend in the desert, the air was about 40 degrees F. But the sand was warmer, and that's probably why the butterfly was on the ground and reluctant to fly, even when I got close. Love the blue eye! #BugSky 🌿🐙📷

Two birds in the bath - making do with a puddle left over after recent rain. Pin-tailed Whydah in the back (native to Africa, not California) and Chipping Sparrow in the front. #Twosday #birds

The elephant's trunk, the giraffe's long neck, the peacock's tail... These are all standout body features that make certain animals famous. But is there any more iconic body part than that of the male vervet monkey?
