Spent 5 hours birding today! I love this photo of a great blue heron! I’ve been wanting to get a photo of them for a while but they usually fly away before I get the chance so this was very nice.
Damselflies are rare, but fun to photograph…

As a Mainer, I can relate!
Last week, an Azure Tit was observed for the first time in Norway, not too far from where I live. It was quite cold outside but for just some seconds, the bird was sitting still with no obstructing branches, watching the sunrise

I am just going to go ahead and vote for the seal right now because ![]()
Haha, thx!
I like the egret!! Awesome foreground vs. framing background, composition, color, contrast, subject! What an amazing catch!! And I mean photography-wise and lizard-wise!
Happy with these photos, though sad subject — got these shots of a mangey coyote over the weekend. Didn’t look like it was having a great time.
That snoozin’ seal is also already getting my vote, but this is a really stunning round of bird photos, gotta say! Top marks all around
It’s no artwork, aesthetically speaking, but I’m kinda proud of this specimen photo of Octolasion cyaneum, a species of Lumbricid earth worm. This is the underside which shows the characteristics needed for identification.

It consists of 116 photos in 7 stacks that have been merged together. The original file is 10663 × 9274 pixels, so quite huge.
Tail is hairless on the end. I bet that is cold LOL
Nah, that cormorant looks defensive; kind of like a small child throwing a tantrum!!
I was happy with this behaviour shot of Rhytidoponera metallica (Green-head Ant) harvesting from lerps. https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/333560672
This one might get a vote or two!
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/334819518, turned out sooooooo good!
So cute! Amazing photo! I’ll be voting for it!
Went springtail hunting in my backyard, and found some really awesome ones under an old plank of wood, which had been half-buried in moist grass and leaves for months!!

This one cracked me up ![]()
I’m torn between these two from this afternoon — this mallard drake who was showing off for me, or this gorgeous coyote
Ooo that is a hard decision…
