For Helen’s #BirdOfTheDay, a bird on wood. Beautiful Tree Swallow on a fence from my walk last month. #NoBranchWood
From my walk this morning. Canada Geese having a leisurely stroll. Have a good week everyone. Thinking about the people and wildlife affected by all the wild fires.
@raidbug.bsky.social Hi Pacer. I saw this cute instagram post and had to share with you. Keep an eye out for Jimothy! 😄 Artwork by Jen Colburn.
Happy Friday everyone! Mama duck watching over her babies on my walk this morning. ❤️
A visit just now from this beautiful Pileated Woodpecker on a very wet and soggy day. Not the best video with the camera movement. Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
My day started with a visit from my little raccoon friend. Hadn’t seen him/her in awhile so was a nice surprise. #WaterForWildlife Have a great weekend everyone!
Indeed, they are beautiful and amazing birds. I saw a Goldfinch and a Grosbeak earlier this week. I’m hoping that means a Western Tanager will visit too.
😂🤣 Ditto for me, Marg! On today’s walk I noticed the cute flowers are also musical instruments! Fun place for kids. And us adults too when no one is looking! 😄
Momma and baby Pileated Woodpeckers from last summer. Happy Mother’s Day!
Saw this cute musical instrument in a small park while on a walk this week. 😀
I finally captured the Pileated Woodpecker in flight! 🤣 #PhotoFails Have a great weekend everyone!
Just had a visit from this handsome Pileated Woodpecker. He was eyeing the suet feeder so I was hoping to capture him in flight. But he was eyeing me watching him, so not to be. Have a great week ahead everyone!
@thebeeguy.bsky.social most of the time. It’s been eating from a lavender plant. Not interested in water or sugar water. Doesn’t move at all when put outside. Any feedback or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks. 2)
@thebeeguy.bsky.social Hello Bee Guy. I’m trying to help this bumblebee that I found on my patio a couple days ago during a wind storm. It flys very little, low to the floor (in my bathroom) & ends up on its back sometimes at end of flight. Rests/sleeps 1)
@edge-nature.bsky.social Hi. This morning’s update. I’ve noticed she’s most active in the mornings. It was great to see her flying just now but she only flys for a couple of seconds & half the time that ends with her being on her back. 1)
I was hoping to share that she flew away but instead has stayed still on the plant. It’s been about 30 minutes. Sadly seems to not be well although can fly. I’ll bring her in again if needed. I really appreciate your help. 🙏
@edge-nature.bsky.social Hi Nature’s Edge. I’m trying to assist this bumblebee that showed up on my doorstep yesterday during high winds. Spent night in bathroom. It can fly. Flew to unsafe ground area this morning (squirrels running through). Brought back in. 1)
In addition to Saint Patrick, today is also the feast of Saint Gertrude of Nivelles, the patron saint of cats and gardeners. #PatronSaintOfCats #StGertrude Have a great day everyone! 💚
Handsome Pileated Woodpecker on the bird bath this morning. 🥰🪶 Wishing everyone a very pleasant weekend!
Greeted first thing this morning by snow and a visit from one of the raccoons! Have a great weekend everyone!
It’s Mr. Handsome! I hadn’t seen a Varied Thrush since last March, but this guy has been visiting the birdbath for the past several days. Finally caught him on video! 🥰🪶 Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
Found this bee not moving on the dirt by my patio. Put it on the patio & it started to walk around but didn’t seem to be able to fly.Put it in my warm bathroom while mixing sugar water & looking for flowers to see if food would help. Eventually it was flying in my bathroom! Yay! Safety put outside🐝🥰
Mama raccoon and one of her babies on a log taken from my patio.🥰 I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend.
