The red-crowned amazon, also known as the red-crowned parrot, green-cheeked amazon or Mexican red-headed parrot, is an endangered amazon parrot native to northeastern Mexico and possibly southern Texas in the USA. Less than 4000 individuals left. #birds #amazona #parrot #endangered #fauna #nature

The Most Dangerous Animal in the World was a 1963 exhibit at the Bronx Zoo in the Bronx, a borough of New York City. Harsh? My picture of a picture in a museum, cropped for a better fit in the format. #BronxZooExhibit #DangeroursAnimal #Photojournalism #humans

My beautiful bride (legally for 47 years), releasing a female Monarch that had emerged few hours earlier. #metamorphosis #MonarchButterfly #pollinators #insects #nature

Monarch butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. #metamorphosis #MonarchButterfly #pollinators #insects #nature

As a hobby, every early fall we collect Monarchs' eggs in our milkweed to provide them with a safe habitat for their magic metamorphosis phenomenon. In the wild, only 1% of laid eggs make it through their complete journey. #monarch #metamorphosis #butterflies #nature #photojournalism #photography

A monarch larvae emerging from the microscopic egg in milkweed leaves. It takes about 15-20 minutes in realtime. Consider that an eggs is the size of the tip on a fine needle. #monarchs #larvae #caterpillar #nature #macro #photojournalism

Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea). Toxic beauty that due to the presence of the cardiac glycoside digitoxin, the leaves, flowers and seeds of this plant are all poisonous to humans and some animals and can be fatal if ingested. #flora #flowers #ToxicBeauty #digitalis #nature

More of "the White Dove". Some of the altarpieces. #WhiteDove #SanXavier #mission #landmark #AmustVisit

The Saint Xavier de Bac Mission, affectionately called the "White Dove", is located few miles south of Tucson AZ and a captivating place. Read in 3rd picture. Inside, the altarpieces are coarse, yet extraordinarily beautiful. Love this place. #WhiteDove #SanXavier #mission #landmark #AmustVisit

Bob cat (Lynx rufus) #kitty #BobCat #feline #WildLife #fauna #nature

Took pictures in the wild of what I thought it was a coyote. Yet, its phenotype was odd and didn’t make sense. I even wrongly posted those pictures as coyote’s. After a careful comparison, I realized it was a coyodog hybrid. You be the judge. #coyodog #hybrid #canide #fauna #nature #comparison

It's estimated that 1 in 200,000 saguaro cacti grow a crest formation beginning at about 70 years old. These saguaros are called crested or cristate saguaro. The Sonoran Desert is the only place in the world where msaguaro cactuses (Carnegiea gigantea) grows. #saguaro #crested-saguaros #nature
