❄️We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives.

Looking up a Ponderosa Pine branch in dappled light at a male Acorn Woodpecker perched in enough of that light to make his iridescent plumage shiny while he watches the snow flurries begin to fall. Zen birding.

Looks like the whole family are snoozing off a food coma...that's 'Bingo' the Mule Deer buck and his harem resting in a shady clearing in the forest. A little afternoon light filters through the trees and shines on the fawn in the center of the family circle. Zen. Have a sweet holiday Bluesky fam!!

If you’re wondering who the Wapiti bull was chasing off in the video clip below, allow me to introduce "The Interloper”
#mammals 🌿
A young elk bull with a pretty well developed antler rack is walking through a golden field in front of a curtain of brown trees. He is facing the camera with head turned slightly to his left, looking coy.

The giant googly eyes of a female magnolia green jumping spider--apple jello green and translucent, with a little white and orange "hat"--peering into your soul.

The wrath of a tiny territorial male Anna's Hummingbird is focused on you with one glare from the tip of a bare pine branch. Zen birding.

The intimidating stare of the Blue-throated Goldentail #hummingbird.

Terrifying.

Birds Without Borders, this Rufous Hummingbird was found in the desert of SW New Mexico, maybe fueling up for a long migration taking her into some of at least 9 different countries, from Canada to South America.

Anna's Hummingbird in shadow with a soft bokeh background. #Stunday #birds
A male Anna's Hummingbird perched near the end of a thin, bare branch. He is in shadow, so his magenta head feathers are barely visible. The background is soft, hazy yellows, greens, greys, and blues.

Today’s alternative #BOTD is a bird with yellow eyes, so here's a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk that I spotted perched out in the woods (Westwood, Massachusetts) 🤩🤎

A juvenile Red-tailed Hawk with a white front and a brown streaked belly band, reddish-brown head and wing feathers, a barred tail, and yellow eyes. The bird was perched in a large brown tree with green lichen on it, and pine needles on the branch. There are more brown trees behind the bird.

Good Morning BlueSky Folks!
Here is a Picture of a European Robin that I saw while in my Local Park.
Captured on a Canon EOS R50
The picture shows a small bird perched on a thin branch surrounded by green leaves and twigs. The bird has a distinctive appearance with an orange-red breast, a white belly, and olive-green upper parts. Its eye is dark with a small white eye-ring, and it has a short, thin beak. The background is slightly blurred, emphasizing the bird as the focal point. The bird appears alert and is looking slightly to its left. This is a European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), a common and well-loved bird in Europe.

Annapolis, Maryland (U.S.)
A peaceful morning at Acton’s Landing Park in Annapolis, Maryland, where Spa Creek meets the Chesapeake Bay. A dark-hulled tugboat with a light blue and white pilothouse is moored at a dock in the foreground, its silhouette perfectly reflected in the calm, mirror-like water. Bare winter trees frame the left side of the image. Across the glassy water, residential homes and other boats dot the distant shoreline. Above, a blue sky is adorned with delicate, wispy clouds that streak across the frame. The morning sun brightens the upper right corner, casting soft light across the serene waterscape.
