Roseate Spoonbills are such great contortionists! Here's some group contortion going on. 😆 #BirdOfTheDay #Contortionist #birds #Nature #photography #Flyday #ECK

A pūkeko preening in a nice bit of early morning sun at Western Springs an hour or so ago. 🪶🇳🇿

today’s #YardBugs are tiny fuzzy wiggly little guys (miner/leaf-cutter/digger bees, I think; I have a lot of them in my yard)

Went out with the camera for 30 minutes last night, mostly because I was bored and saw a woodpecker pretty much immediately. #birding #photography

So we got a dog.

#coyotes A neighbor down the block got a picture of our neighborhood coyote pups last night. There's three of them and they come to her house to play.

Kamoru at Multnomah County Animal Shelter and Horace at Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood OR look like like brothers from different mothers 🐧 ❤️ #adoptdontshop

Have a good day ☀️

Walked to the market via the riverside bike path this morning. I used to do this often, but it’s been a couple of years, at least. About 2 miles, different scenery, bus home.

Penstemon whippleanus, our Whipple's Penstemon, blooming now along Straight Creek #nativeplants

Water Rail (Rallus aquaticus) ventures out of the reedbed. The Water Rail is a somewhat secretive, scarce breeding bird in the Netherlands. It rarely shows itself, but you can certainly hear it. From the marsh, its squealing like a suckling pig sometimes rings out. 📷 #Hattem #birds

Bay Area folks, this sweet dog needs a foster home quickly. He's apparently reactive with other dogs, so Berkeley Animal Control is planning to euthanize him soon. Saw his story on Nextdoor. 24petconnect.com/DetailsMain/...

Daisy’s had a rough couple of days, mobility wise. She hasn’t been able to take her arthritis meds while recovering, it’s taken a toll on her. Her Docs got her sorted out today. Her birthday celebrations will begin as soon as she’s up from her nap ❤️. #dogsofbluesky

Your daily husky pic. Zhukov was all tuckered out from the vet visit and getting poked. 💤♥️🐺 #furryfamily #husky #dogs

The Knysna Turaco inhabits the evergreen forests of South Africa, where it moves gracefully through the canopy feeding on fruits, berries, flowers, and young leaves. Its vivid red flight feathers are revealed only when it takes to the air, creating a breathtaking burst of color. 📷 H. Cho

A scene to melt even the coldest of hearts. We spotted this young Razorbill enjoying a snooze, snuggled up against its parent’s chest at Fowlsheugh earlier today. #birdingScotland #UKWildlife #seabirds #birdsSeenIn2026 #birdOfTheDay #birds

#countryside #walking #getoutdoors #ThePhotoHour #photography This morning’s #dogwalk took us past this field of wheat near Thornham, #Suffolk. So peaceful.

It is all about the dogs.... #photography #BlackAndWhite #monochrome #fujifilm #dogs

Magpies must be treated with all the dignity of sentient beings. They follow me to the edge of the forest for a snack and I don't want to disappoint them.💙☺️ #BirdOfTheDay #Rocks #photography #Corvids #ForestFriday #ECK

This intent stare is his "look deeply into my eyes. You're getting sleeeepy, you want to take me for waaaalkies" gaze of hopeful hypnosis (it works every time) #dogs #dogsofbluesky

✨Tuesday and Wednesday are up for adoption! ❤️🐾 www.muttscouts.org #Dogs #Cats #PetAdoption

The majority of animal shelter animals are not broken They are terrified We would react the same or worse given the same circumstances They need structure, love and compassion Please be open to their plight

Vulnerable #Kittens Are Arriving Faster Than This Shelter Can Restock Supplies...🙁 Let's help them keep up with the demand. 🙏 cuddly.com/donate/49608...

Thanks for visiting Trap Dat Cat, a 501c3 Nonprofit TNR and Rescue group in New Orleans, LA. Please feel free to look around! 🐈🐾🐈 www.trapdatcat.org

Mama's home! Had a walk, dinner and a cookie. Now a chew on my bone with Chicken and Mama by my side. Best day ever! #dogsofbluesky #dachshundsky

Look dear, I’m only doing the things the boys are asking me to do today. None of these things are my idea. It’s like WORK, okay? #corgicrew

Meet Muddy, a Common Raven found right here in Sitka, Alaska, after getting tangled in a net. After a few weeks of good meals, rest, and plenty of care from our team, Muddy is ready to head back out into the wild! Good luck Muddy! #Raven #WildlifeRescue #FridayFreedom

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 ‘𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗴𝘀’ 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗹 More than half of adopted dogs (53.3%) display some undesirable behaviors, yet nearly all still thrive with their new families. A little patience, training, and consistency can turn “problems” into a thing of the past #dogs

“I love when Mom gets on the floor to play with me. I think I’ll go sit on her head.” #corgisky

A white stork (ooievaar) standing on top of a lamp post along a cycle path, one of numerous storks I saw here. It wasn't bothered by passers by - here it was looking down at a cyclist. #birds

Ms Baltimore Oriole eats, leaves and one comes back. You HAVE TO watch till the end when she and a Gray Catbird square off! Turn the sound on! #birds

Goji likes day camp, but he also likes going home. 😄

Today is Queenie’s happy happy 6th birthday! #corgi #corgicrew #corgisky We live this loaf of bread so much, she has brought so much joy to our home and to everyone she meets ❤️

He just wanted to play #goldendoodle #puppytok #dogsoftiktok #dogmom #doodletok

Out on a walk, Quinn pauses and seems to wonder, "What's up ahead daddy?" I don't know, buddy, but we will find out *together*. I sure do love this little goofball. #dogs

He woke up before sunrise, just like he did every workday. His wife made him breakfast. He kissed her goodbye, grabbed his lunch and work boots, patted his dog, and climbed into the white van he used to take his construction crew to work.

My life's goal is to be half as happy as the #beagle in today's puzzle. Enjoy! buff.ly/LpzTvRD #AdoptDontShop #MWBREW #DogsOfBlueSky #MWBalumni

As far as we know, both Eddie (left) and Penny (right) were abandoned hunting dogs. We were just fortunate that they chose ours as their forever home. 💙🩷🐾 #dogs #Blueskydogs #rescuedogs #hounds #WeekAforAbandoned #AlphabetChallenge

Frauchen hatte bis eben ganz vergessen, dass ich heute Adoptionstag habe! 🥳 Ich bin schockiert! Ich wollte doch einen Käse-Leberwurst-Kuchen, aber sie meint, dafür ist kein Geld da 😭 #Hunde #Dogs #Skyrudel #Bludel #Dogsofbluesky #gotchaday

Hummingbird A quiet moment rests on the branch. Color settles around the wings. Stillness gathers in the soft air. Warmth moves through the tiny frame. Nature offers a tender breath of beauty. #Hummingbird #nature #wildlife #birdphotography #birdoftheday
