Moon shining thru deep blue skies with white, pink and grey clouds showing. Ocean is mostly black with white wave breaking and moonlight reflecting off the water.

A gallery of Crows. I'm happy to announce that I believe the crow couple that has been testing my yard have decided to stick around. I'm setting up an area specifically for them, so we will see. #nikon #corvids #crow #eastcoastkin #maryland #wildlife #photography

Looks like the host plant is getting salted with tiny white eggs by a female Cloudless sulfur Butterfly. Should be more cats πŸ›πŸ› crawling around soon. #invertes

So, @amerrill2.bsky.social alerted me to the existence of sopranissimo ukuleles, even smaller than sorprano ukes, which are very small. I decided I must have one. This is the one I got. Cat for scale. It's cute and actually plays nicely.

A pair of Hawaiian coots engaged in nest building. The male in foreground has just handed (beaked?) the female a large stick which she will incorporate into their new home. She has the stick crosswise in her beak

Did someone say #NestBuilding for the #BirdOfTheDay theme? A pair of 'alae keΚ»okeΚ»o just after Dad made a stick delivery--at Kealia NWR the coots sometimes make nests right near the boardwalk, I guess they feel pretty safe in the reeds and the people must make the night herons nervous. :) #birds πŸ“·πŸŒΏπŸ¦‰
