My friend Mr Cardinal and I were not happy with the cold front sweeping in today! I bundled up for 56° F with 10-15 mph winds and it was still shivery. I'm not sure where he found a fluffy down extra layer. We both called it a day around 4:00 pm. 🪶

Not quite in time for #Caturday but our kitty Theia is 15 yo today 🎉 What has happened to your black whiskers, young lady?? #tortie cat 🐱

Fascinating great-horned #owl and common #raven interactions on #cameratrap. After fleeing to the tree, it swoops down for more drinks.

One of my favorite things about the tropical dry forests of Guanacaste are the winter visiting Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. They're later than a lot of other N American migrants, but they're starting to show up in good numbers now. When it gets too wet in Bijagua, I just head down to the sun. #birds

a tiny shroom joined the party on star moss island yesterday in the November beech wood .. north Hampshire, England

#RememberanceDay A Peacock Butterfly as a sign of peace across the world.

Found one. Block alert:

Anyone else getting old time Western movies ‘shoot out/stand off’ vibes? #Birds #Nature #Photography

A Black-headed Gull, a lovely water bird, is perched on a wooden post above a wire fence, with a blurred natural background. #Birds #lukehaigh #birdwatching #photography

You can run but you can’t hide. The Sunday morning chase is on. May you and all the wildlife have a blessed Sunday. #geese #wildlife #run #hide #sunday#photo #blessings #birds #photography

One more shot of the Fox Sparrow, which, sadly, was just a one day wonder #Bobsbackyard #Ancaster #HamOnt #birds #birding #foxsparrow #sparrow

A striking black necked grebe, is shown on a calm body of water. It has a black head with noticeable golden-orange tufts on the sides, bright red eyes, and a rufous-brown back. Its body is mostly submerged, and its reflection is visible below. #Birds #lukehaigh #birdwatching #photography

So happy to get a video of this handsome Pileated Woodpecker in good light. 🥰 Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Dark fall… From Huelgoat Forest near home 🌳 #photography #landscape #nature #arr

A gray catbird and an ovenbird in the same photo felt like quite the feat! #Twofer #Birds #MobilePhotography #Nature

Nice walk in Darlington Provincial Park earlier this past week 🥾

Good night.💤. Sunset in the fog last night over the coastal dunes. Morro Bay

The fact I can both play this song on guitar AND know all the lyrics led more or less directly to a lifelong friendship with @drivebymuses.bsky.social so I'm grateful to those 29 sailors. I play the song every year on the anniversary.

And a bee

We’re sending takeout bags to our dear friends Pixie and Tiger. Spike and Valerie would like you to try their SpikyCinno too, we hope you like it 🤗💜 @cshannon.bsky.social @tiger-socal.bsky.social

It’s time for my #Caturday #Hedgewatch pawtrol . The sun was shining first thing but it’s very miserable now, although mild. Even Phoebe came out today. Have a lovely weekend dear friends. 🤗💜

Two minutes of peaceful fall beauty! With birds and deer and even some bees and flowers still hanging around! #birds 🌿

It's #Caturday... A two-for-one video: Squeezy pawing at his #bobcat brother.

Day 8 of counting down my favorite photos of 2025. #53 this one is a bit more recent. Fall migration, White-Crowned Sparrow yelling out.

Leopards are one of the apex predators in Africa and we were thrilled to have a couple encounters. Unlike lions, they are solitary animals and can drag a prey that’s twice their body weight up into a tree. This male had just finished a large meal of zebra and was resting in the shade. #mammal

#Evening #BlueskyArtShow

It’s been a while since I’ve been this close to a Brown Creeper! I took my own advice. Approached slowly at an angle. Took cover behind trees and finally got within 10 ft of this bird! Brown creepers are my favorite birds to see when a few eventually winter in Orange County 📷🌿🪶
