It's been a couple of weeks since the songbird migration wrapped up, and I'm already missing the little homies. Pictured here is a very cooperative and handsome Magnolia Warbler. #WiscoBirder 📷👐🏾🖤🪶
A Magnolia Warbler perched on a thin branch surrounded by fresh green leaves. The bird is facing away, displaying its striking black back, bright yellow underparts with bold black streaks, and white wing patch. Its head is gray with a bold white eyebrow stripe. A frontal view of a Magnolia Warbler perched on a lichen-covered branch. The bird’s intense gaze is directed at the camera, highlighting its gray crown, white eyebrow, black mask, and vibrant yellow chest with thick black streaks. The lush green background enhances its vivid coloring.

Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds.

This puffin is trying to fit in with his new friend by standing on one leg.

Seabird peer-pressure can be intense.

A funny one from this morning's misty sunrise on Glastonbury Tor. At first glance it looks like someone diving over the sun into the mist below. It is actually a bird heading straight for me and yes I did duck although I am sure it would have missed me. 😂

This little punk popped out of the forest to say hola! Collared Redstarts are energetic warblers that fan their high contrast tail to flush insects from vegetation and leaf litter. They are native to Central America in the mountains above 1,500 meters / 5,000 feet.
San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica
A bird with a ruddy red crest, yellow body, black collar and wings, and a black tail with white underneath. It is perched on a thin branch facing the camera and looks like it may be wondering why a human is standing there pointing a camera at them.

Lighting was quite poor when I took this photo but it was still exciting to see two eggs in this Sandhill Crane's nest.

Good night, Bluesky friends. What a day of news. People are getting hurt, and they are getting angry and understandably so. Not sure what tomorrow will bring but it is going to be busy. Stay safe from the storms if they are coming your way! Lots of reported tornadoes. 💙☮️🦋💙

Across an open field, a view of two tall trees reflected in a huge puddle. The blue sky is filled with curdled white clouds also reflected in the water.

Your moment of critically endangered beauty ❤️

With just 16 known to remain in the wild, Ginger could be the first (+ last) Red Wolf you see.

A lot of depressing meltdowns in my feed this morning. It's Saturday, take a break from doomscrolling with #bloomscrolling

Canada Pavilion at Epcot, Flower & Garden Festival 2018
A vibrant flower garden featuring rows of red, purple, yellow, and orange blossoms leads to a serene pond adorned with plant islands. Behind the pond, manicured green lawns slope upwards with flowerbeds arranged in decorative patterns. A quaint stone structure is partially visible amidst the trees on the left. The scene is bathed in sunlight under a clear blue sky.

My wife has just fainted on the luggage carousel at the airport!

But I think she's OK - she's coming round slowly.

Newborn donkeys, also called foals, can start running just 30 minutes after birth, and they're surprisingly fast! So if you ever see a baby donkey, just know it could probably outrun you before it even finishes its first nap. 🫏

As I can’t sleep (it’s 02:18 here), here’s a photo of our moon casting a soft light over Loch Morlich, in the Scottish Highlands.
