From last night-

Marty’s photo of the day #4977: It’s Monday, and the Middle Eastern religions are fighting each other again. One would think Darwin and critical thinking would have ended this madness. So while the religions do what they’ve done since humans invented them, how about if the rest of us enjoy a little booby? This is a Nazca booby chick with a feather. (Photographed last month in the Galapagos Islands.)

Good morning, red-tailed hawk! Laguna Beach. #birdsky 🪶

Or is it a Green-Winged Teal in some sort of arcane plum?

Leggings AND furry rave boots 🤣

A Great Grey Owl standing in the snow. His fluffy legs can be seen clearly.

No biggie, just a Great Grey Owl out for a walk wearing some leggings. 😜 #wildlife #owls #birds

A male sandhill crane is preening the feathers on his back.

Posting a Sandhill tonight in disgust of the Wisconsin government right now. A bill passed to hunt Sandhills. It still has to pass the senate and the governor, but WTF Wisconsin? A few years ago they were selling Sandhill custom license plates like they loved cranes. Now, go ahead, shoot em.😢

Some water drop scenes in Chautauqua Park this afternoon.

39 years ago, there were only 27 California condors in the world. As of 2025, we now have 607, including 392 that are living free in the wild.

Eight clumps between two ponds so far and still lots of activity.

Male American Kestrel

Male American Kestrel on an old Blue Spruce tree. I’m amazed that this photo came out this well because I took it from inside a neighboring building. It’s a decent render considering I handheld a long telephoto lens and took the series through a double panel window dirty on all sides of the glass

I don’t think you actually understand the kind of dangerous riding I’m talking about, but sure

Good night
