This image shows a  Dipper  perched on a rock, with blurred water in the background. The bird has a distinct white throat and breast, contrasting with its dark brown plumage.

Here’s Mama Killdeer sitting on her eggs. Her “nest” is basically a tiny bowl they formed in the sandy soil.

Painted bats belong alive in the wild — not dead on walls. Tell Amazon to stop selling painted woolly bats so their populations can again flourish in the wild — where they belong.

I think this is probably the best photo I have ever taken? Chiffchaff looking at its reflection at the local spring. What do you all think? Hopefully I might get a re-post or two? View full screen. #birds #birdphotography

Sounded like a Townsend’s Warbler but looked like a Hermit Warbler with yellow on the chest and faint black streaks.

Don't forget me! Almost as soon as the wood pigeon had finished having his photo taken, a collared dove took his turn! 😁 Taken yesterday on my phone at my friend's place #WoodPigeon #CollaredDove #Kent #England #birdsoftheworld #birds

Upon a forest edge, the shadow appears. A giant silhouette, where silence purrs. A noble Moose, his coat deep in dusky brown. Reflects the hues of the forest’s crown.

A black and white bee visits a flower with hot pink petals.  The bee is holding onto some darker pink filaments as it uses its tongue to extract nectar.  The bee has large black eyes and is covered with silvery hair on its head, thorax, legs and parts of its abdomen.  It has a black and white striped abdomen.

The local bees' entry for #stunday - think this is a digger bee on an elegant clarkia #wildflower

The grandkids and I were playing board games outside, and the kids marveled at how very friendly this juvenile robin was. A Wisconsin bird just chillin’ with some Wisconsin humans. 🪶 #BirdNerd
