A Robin having a splashy bath in a lake. The bird has an orange chest, brown wings and a white throat. The bird is looking at the camera and there are water droplets in the air.
A Rusty Blackbird in the water near the shore. The bird is rusty brown with brown and black wings. The beak is open and there are water droplets in the air.
A Pipit in the water looking down at it's reflection. The bird is mottled light and dark brown. There is some black in the wings and on the tail feathers.
3 Bohemian Waxwings on a round green water bowl. One is standing on a rock in the water and two are on the edge of the bowl. The bird on the left is leaning forward with the wings open.
Robin, Rusty Blackbird, Pipit and Bohemian Waxwings for #BirdOfTheDay #StandingInWater
This describes me perfectly.
Step over ants, put worms back in the grass, rescue baby caterpillars, release spiders back into your garden, open windows for bees to fly home. They are all little souls that deserve a life too.
Congratulations! They sometimes come through here in big flocks and they actually nest in wetlands throughout the western US.
Don’t mess with Soras!

You can even see a hint of their darker primaries hidden under the folded wings.
A shore bird white below and brown above a thickish bill and dark legs. It was very foggy on the beach.
🪶 ID help please, of possible. I saw this bird today on Top Sail Island NC. It was foggy and from afar at first I thought Am Oystercatcher but when I got closer I saw it was not. The thickish bill is throwing me off. Anyone have any suggestions?
Willet because of tall stature, big thick bill, grayish legs, and they like to forage in the surf like small sandpipers. They kind of appear like an oversized greater yellowlegs.
Willet!
A macro photo of a cream-colored crab spider clinging to the tip of a cream-colored flower petal, against a blue sky background. The spider is far left in the frame; in the lower right the flower shows dark red and greenish-yellow stripes toward the petals' centers.
Here is your Saturday Spider 🕷️

My hand with pink nail polish holding a book called “Hawaiian Insects and their Kin” outside in front of a plumeria flower. There is a butterfly and spider on the cover.
I went to Hawai'i and all I got was this stupid book on insects 😏
The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater
Least Sandpipers have short legs so the water isn't very deep but everything is relative. Standing in the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge #Alaska. Maybe on the way back? 🪶
She really is but oh so feisty!

#FallBackFlowers #FallBack to Sep. 7 🌿
Amorpha means ‘without form’ since this genus’ flowers have only one petal, unlike most "pea-shaped" flowers, missing the wing and keel petals.

Check out the fake Christians in that photo. Just because you’re praying over the guy doesn’t make you a better person. You’ve capitulated your morality, losers.
Or all those hypocrites gathered around to pray over Trump at his desk. Praying for what? Nice capitulation of their morality.

Burrowing owl with his eyes closed. The eyelids are covered in tiny feathers.
I just love the fluffy eyelids. 🪶
Wildlife need homes, forests, and people need places to escape the absurdities of humanity. It takes just a moment to fill out and speak up for western old growth forests. act.biologicaldiversity.org/5E-gjTsTuE22...

A bright yellow bird with a black forehead and wings stands in shallow gently flowing water with brown fallen leaves in the background. He is in profile facing left with his head turned and looking directly into the camera. His feathers are wet and puffed up showing off his bright white downy feathers and he has an annoyed look on his face as if he did not appreciate having his bath interrupted.
"Hey, you wouldn't happen to know where a guy could get some privacy around here, would ya?"

A bright winding ribbon of green light shoots diagonally up from the bottom, left to the top right of the night sky. The bottom of the image is framed with the silhouettes of spruce trees.
Of the three seasons during which I guide tours in Churchill, #aurora season is by far of the most stressful, because we have no control over what people are coming up to see. Tonight’s show was a big relief and a huge excitement for my guests. Now I can sleep. 😊
