Alien? Bird assembled incorrectly? Beeker’s cousin? Nope, just a young Green Heron from an awkward angle. What a (delightful) weirdo #SpookyNature 🌿 #birds 👽

A couple of #waders for the #BirdOfTheDay (Black-necked Stilts) #birds 🌿 #SunsetsAndSilhouettes #silhouettes
Sun’s out, bun’s out. This is what that’s supposed to mean, right? 😇 (No that’s really not what it means. Don’t go searching that phrase and expect to see rabbits! Friday nights used to be wild on Bluesky.) #mammals 🌿
Another Borb of Judgement (Common Grackle) #SpookyNature #birds 🌿
In case anyone wondered how the Common Yellowthroat got its name. Although Fancy Yellowthroat would be better #birds 🌿
10/10 Stuck the landing. With grace. (Red-tailed Hawk) #birds 🌿
This is absolutely some kind of elder god of the forest #SpookyNature 🌿 #mammals

This tree is very tall, very old and has clearly Seen Some Things. Also possibly Done Some Things #SpookyNature 🌿
I thought maybe the catbirds had moved south already but I just saw one yesterday! #birds 🌿
Snowy Egret strutting the brown carpet. It’s a #BirdSupermodel! #BirdOfTheDay #birds 🌿
My phone says this is a Panicled Aster and I thought it said Panicked Aster and I was like “yeah I get it, it’s rough out there.” #BloomScrolling 🌿
This looks like it should be on a horror movie poster. Really it’s just the left behind exoskeleton of a damselfly (I think) when it emerged from the creek. #SpookyNature 🌿 #invertebrates
The joys/hazards of messaging with me when I’m in the middle of editing photos (Black-crowned Night Heron family) #birds 🌿
Surely this is some kind of summoning? I didn’t stick around to find out #SpookyNature #birds 🌿
These nesting platforms are made for Ospreys but they make a great perch for other birds during the off season! (Bald Eagle in Stone Harbor, NJ) #birds 🌿

FEED ME!!! For the #BirdOfTheDay it’s a young Barn Swallow hoping somebody puts a juicy bug in its mouth. Preferably Right Now! #WingsOpenNotFlying #birds 🌿
Baby birds? Or eldritch beings ready to swallow the world? Please bring on the spooky photos if you’ve got them! #SpookyNature #birds 🌿
Well aren’t you just adorable, chickadee neighbor? #birds 🌿
The Borb of Judgement #SpookyNature #birds 🌿
I’ve been inspired by @crawlieswithcri.bsky.social ‘s excellent spooky photos. So how about a spooky nature photo a day till Halloween? Please join me for #SpookyNature! First up is an intense looking Snapping Turtle. Or possibly Godzilla. Small creatures, beware! #herps #SpookyNature 🌿
Darn, it’s #BestBeaks plural. Ah well, here’s a closer look at my #BirdOfTheDay, the White Ibis #birds 🌿
I immediately thought of the White Ibis when I saw that the theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #BestBeak. Look at that thing! And they manage them so deftly #birds 🌿
Lookout fish, this beak is coming for you! An intense looking Great Blue Heron in #Black&White for the #BirdOfTheDay #birds 🌿
Phew, the news is dark. Here’s a moment of beauty to catch your breath 🌿

A Painted Turtle for #TurtleTuesday! #herps 🌿
Oh dear, I am tempted to respond to a person with Influence In Birding who has a belittling, dismissive thread on here but then I’d give them more attention. ARG! Also it may be on purpose to provoke people? Which has definitely worked on me. Posting an awesome bird instead. (Ruddy Duck) #birds 🌿
News is bad. Vibes are bad. WHO NEEDS A TEENY TINY FROG?! (A Wood Frog baby so little it could sit on a quarter) #herps 🌿
Aha, my vacuum cleaner troubleshooting was successful! The part arrived today and the vacuum works again. Yay me! Posting a beautiful bird to celebrate (Northern Cardinal) #birds 🌿
An American Oystercatcher in some absolutely divine light at sunset For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BokehBirds #birds 🌿 #SunsetAndSilhouettes #silhouette
After further thought, I actually wouldn’t mind if a bird messages me to say it’s running for office and needs my support. TREE SWALLOW FOR SENATE #birds 🌿
Birds are the best. They may look at you like this but they’re never gonna send you unwanted texts or emails (Osprey) #birds 🌿
