We live on the southern part of the Jersey shore, so we get to see them occasionally. Always a treat 😊

I agree, they are so hard to capture! Constantly moving. I find Terns equally as difficult

Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge protects more than 48,000 acres of southern New Jersey coastal habitats. It’s worth protecting

Great Bay is vital to New Jersey. It plays a critical role in the coastal ecosystem by providing flood protection through its bay islands. It hosts significant ecological habitats. It’s worth protecting

Bij zonnig weer horen zonnebloemen.
Iedereen op Bluesky een prettig weekend.

A Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker clings to a tree trunk, photographed from behind. The bird’s black and white patterned feathers stand out against a softly blurred background of green and yellow foliage.

I saw a Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker again today. 😊🪶
Unfortunately, I got bitten by a mosquito while taking this shot—despite wearing gloves and using repellent.
These little villains show no mercy! 😣🦟

Still looking for a male, who would have white areas on the wings, and a blue body to pose for me this season. Here we have a female dragonfly (or perhaps an immature male) with the characteristic dark patches on the wings and a yellow and brown body. Perching on a hawkweed stem with a background of dried grass and yellow flowers.
