Great gray owl

This beauty was down in a ditch feeding on a meadow vole, and decided its next perch was on the telephone pole behind me.

Right place, right time.

A rotten tree stump against the very blue surface of a lake.

I think the shade of blue here is really nice. And the details in the tree stump remind me of a tiny mountain lol 😌

I'm back. I think. It's been a rough few months. Job loss, stress, depression...you know, all that fun stuff.😕 Anyway, on the topic of hopeful, here's a Yellow Trout Lily.

Same!😂

The fact that humans can only survive on Earth doesn’t bother Trump – and I know why | George Monbiot He is surrounded by people who have plans and dreams beyond our planet. Vengeful nihilism is a big part of the Maga project, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Could it be that the destruction of the habitable planet is not just an accidental outcome of Trump's policies, but is in fact the policy?
My column this week asks another question that most people, I think, would rather not face.

This Rufous Hummingbird was in the Yarmouth County NS in August 2015. Still the only one I've seen in NS, although I did miss one by five minutes in Queens County once. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching

A lake surrounded by tall reeds and thick woods. A Mourning Dove appears as a dot in the sky. Photographed with a Nikon D5600 + 18-140mm lens. Edited with Adobe Lightroom.

My life has been a bit chaotic lately due to some employment issues. It certainly hasn't been as serene as this shot, let me tell you. Taken at Amherst Point Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Nova Scotia. July 2022.

He's a brainless wretch of a human.🤮

Leaked emails show the nation’s leading wildlife agency has halted critical funding for conservation Exclusive: The US Fish and Wildlife Service has frozen millions of dollars, imperiling animals abroad.

Friday SCOOP: @vox.com has learned that USFWS has frozen its vast portfolio of international conservation grants.

This is far beyond the scope of USAID-funded work and will inevitably harm wildlife internationally and in the US.

@benjij.bsky.social has the story: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...
