Helen is back and designating the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme as #SpottySpeckled. Can't get much spottier than this #flicker. Captured just two days ago, and now my fav flicker photo. #photography #wildlife #ECK

Here's a female red-winged blackbird displaying #SpottySpeckled plumage for alt #BirdOfTheDay, photo'd in July at Huntley Meadows Park in Groveton, #Virginia. #Photography #NaturePhotography #Birds #ECK #Nikon #DSLR #LightroomClassic #ContentCredentials #PhotographersOfBluesky #PhotographersUnited

When you blink and it's Monday again. #MondayMotivation

New public records reveal the 10 people and two organizations that sought to keep a damning grand jury report from becoming public.

When I rhapsodise about gulls there's always someone who says, "You just wait until one swoops down and steals your sandwich." But that already happened. I thought it was hugely technically impressive and tinged with comic genius and it made me like gulls even more. What should I wait for next?

Either the ground is leaning or this Turnstone had a great party last night 😆 #Tynemouth (UK) #Birds #Nature

Enjoyed a quick walk on Holton Heath National Nature Reserve near Wareham (UK) #Dorset #Birds and enjoyed seeing Buzzard and Jay

Weird wonderful waves from the sea on Studland Bay in #Dorset #Poole (UK) due to high winds from #StormAusten 🌬️🌊

This is the same spot in May. I prefer the hopeful, warm promise of spring but I can’t deny that the fall is gorgeous 🌿

Being almost 4 hours long can't help. I did see it at a film festival, and found it very interesting. But my SO must love me to have come along.

Goodmorning all, back to a very hot summerday with 36°C with this red squirrel that is resting on a tree. #SquirrelSaturday #ECK #mobilephonephotography #vacation

Good morning, birders! Morning gymnastics from today’s Eurasian blue tit / Ore-tit for #BirdOfTheDay by @robcrank68.bsky.social. Stretching its wings against a clear blue sky. #Poland Modraszka (Cyanistes caeruleus) #birds #LMNO #MyClick

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

Another night of bird migration tonight. Last night, we caught our 1st Northern Saw-whet Owl of the season! Many songbirds migrate at night in part to avoid predators, but Saw-whets will snack on kinglets while migrating. #birds #fall #migration #LightsOutForBirds All banding conducted under permit

I hid in a bush for about 15 minutes from a Hereford cow that decided she didn’t like me in her pasture checking my owl nest boxes. I don’t ever take cows for granted.

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

literally this comic except he apparently lives in Czechia instead of Nebraska

Majestic... Late evening. I was getting ready to leave the forest, when suddenly, Brock The Bald Eagle (Husband of Briana), landed in a tree above my head. Stunning plumage. Very handsome. 🦅📸 🇨🇦 #BaldEagle #Raptor #Birds #BirdsOfPrey #Photography #Wildlife #Nature #OntarioParks #Canada

I heard today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #corvids. Here’s a very handsome Ca Scrub jay doing an over the shoulder glance and showing off those fancy eyebrows #birds

This week, NIH advisors rebuked RFK for harming #NIH and US science. Sheryl Gay Stolberg reported it. Then RFK posted calling her sources anonymous or corrupt. I'll say this hoping it does good: I'm an NIH scientist, I'm not anonymous, and RFK Jr is destroying NIH. More in attachment:
