I captured a Stargazer on a night dive, burrowing into the sand to disguise itself and ambushing a fish. Its sticky, worm-like tongue is used as a lure to bait prey. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #scuba #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

These sharks are circling a cleaning station where little fishies eat parasites off their skin. As a diver you just set up on the side and watch the show. You have to avoid swimming over the station because if they see other large animals they think it’s occupied and stay away. 🦑🤿

Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs. But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅 First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti. #rstats #nudibranch #dataviz 🦑🐙🧪 #marinelife #invertebrates

A kinkajou—one of the more elusive mammals we sometimes find during my Costa Rica tours—shows off its nasty, big, pointy teeth. I'm leading my next trip back to Costa Rica just about a year from now if you'd like to join the adventure!

Hooded oriole male visiting northern California for the summer breeding season. In the winter, they go to Mexico. What a fun theme for #BirdOfTheDay! #migratory #birds

Hey folk, I am fundraising for a new camera lens! I've been renting a Canon 70-200 2.8mm regularly enough for Repository photo trips that it's a) pricey and b) should be in my regular kit. I'm worried rising prices might put it out of reach. So far I've saved/raised $1576 of the $2799 needed!

European Cowrie from a #Shetland Rockpool today. Most people know these as smooth shells, beach treasures, collected alongside sea glass. Alive, they are a voracious predatory Sea Snail hunting out Sea Squirts #Cowrie #Shell #Rockpool #MarineLife #Nature

I said to someone earlier that I thought Tripod fish sit and wait b/c they are ambush predators. The watch lead says the same here. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 734 #ChileMargin #MarineLife

OTD in '23: the black & tan coyote visitor seemed to have found a mate. This was the only time- over a year & dozens of sightings- that we detected it with another coyote. 🦊 #trailcam #cameratrap #backyardwildlife #NewEnglandWildlife #MAwildlife #photooftheday #CanisLatrans 🖤❄️ #Reconyx

Healthy looking yotes this year. Cam shows they vamoosed 30 seconds before I got there. Sneaky things.
