An adorable little song sparrow showing off on a mossy fencepost today in SW #Oregon #birds #wildlifephotography #photography

A serene Mule Deer is looking back at you from a snowy knoll out of a Bob Ross painting, naturally framed by Ponderosa Pine trunks, Scrub oaks, and snow-covered boulders in afternoon light.

Where a love
of natural beauty
has been cultivated,
all nature becomes
a stupendous gallery.

Black and white face of a woodpecker peering through the whole of a nestbox

The theme for #birdOfTheDay is #LookingAtYou. This #downywoodpecker is peering through the #nestbox perhaps smiling for today's theme. Hard to tell 😄 #birds #nature #NewEngland #birdphotography #EastCoastKin @robcrank68.bsky.social @alan678.bsky.social

Lovely photo! I like the feather ripples on its back. Going along with the ripples in the water! 👌

Ha ha 😂 an umbrella extension to your lense might come handy 😉

Beautiful! I feel so happy for them when they finally have a proper 'tail support' 😊💯

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #OnTheEdge, any bird at the edge of a body of water.

A #killdeer at the edge of a make-believe pond aka as flooded parking lot 😉#birds #photography #EastCoastKin #wildlifephotography #Massachusetts

How more perfect can this #OnTheEge photo be? 😉👍

I love that 'just in flight' shot of the little egret! 😍

Wow! These are some impressive graphs and stats! And now I have to figure out what a 'retrospective' is🤔😂

I had to look it up! What an interesting and apparently beneficial insect indeed. I only got destructive winter moths 😭 Thanks for sharing 😊

Today the theme is #TwosDay, #Doubles So here is a #Pair of #cormorants drying up on #Twin rocks.

#LookUp
People often ask me how I manage to post a space photo daily. Here's my recipe: Use a smartphone or a mirrorless camera with a fast 35 mm lens mounted on a mini tripod.

Editing the #astrophoto on the phone usually takes less than 10 minutes — modern smartphone software is quite powerful!

We Can Now Track Individual Monarch Butterflies. It’s a Revelation.

For the first time, #researchers have devised a technique to track the world’s most famous #insect #migration. They’re outfitting #monarch #butterflies with featherweight radio tags

I know another keen spirit @kinow.bsky.social !

Exotic birds in an exotic landscape 😍Beautiful!

A striking white egret stands gracefully in shallow, dark blue water. Its slender neck is arched elegantly, and the bird’s bright plumage glows in the sunlight, contrasting sharply against the deep, shadowed background. Its reflection is visible in the still water below, creating a serene and minimalist scene.

Good morning, the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #paddling birds standing or walking in shallow water. The alternate is #yellow birds with any yellow colouring. I’ve went with paddling and this Little Egret. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Around the Pond
I put this shot into LightRoom to edit and fell in love with the colors I saw them melting together, so I adjusted the clarity, texture and contrast to make it so.
It felt like I was creating a beautiful painting. #Photograohy #DigitalArt #PNW #ForestFriday
