A visiting roadrunner has hopped up on the snack table in a backyard. Green tall native grass and succulents are just behind the bird.

It’s not peak roadrunner weather but good enough. Hi Ravi! Good thing snacks were ready - just in case!

A photo of a Steller's jay (Cyanocitta stelleri), a large songbird with a deep blue torso, wings, and tail, dark eyes, black beak, black head topped with a tall black crest, and pale blue eyebrow-like stripes above its eyes. It is perched on red metal outdoor furniture in diffuse lighting on a cloudy day looking over its shoulder toward the right of frame with deep green foliage in the background behind it.

Looked at too many jays and needed to post jay. #BirdOfTheDay #Corvidae.

A digitally painted scene from the Fezouata Formation featuring Aegirocassis, Sagenograptus, Falcisicaris, Bathmoceras, Rhopalocystis, Plumalina, Brachyaglaspis, Choia, Megistaspis, Eoconularia, Plasiacystis, Plumulites, Ampyx, Pirania, and a non-specific Conodont

Fezouata Formation.

Felt like drawing an Aegirocassis, accidentally drew a bunch of other stuff too.

A black-and-white pencil sketch of a shark, Physogaleus, nibbling on the tattered edge of a severed head of the whale Basilosaurus. The large head is lying on its side on the seafloor with mouth wide open, while the shark’s body is very curvy as it attempts to slice off a bite. Near the head on the seafloor is a much smaller crab.

a Megamastax explores very shallow waters in search of food, it kicks up fine sediment as it swims along

Megamastax is the largest Silurian bony fish found so far. it was only known from a lower jaw bone for many years until 2026 when a full skull was found allowing palaeontologists to find where it may sit in the fish family tree. Its head was incredibly wide at the base but also somewhat flat making it look vaguely like a squashed cone, one of the most interesting features of Megamastax is its tooth cushions which are small bulbs of teeth that were probably used to secure prey in place

an artificial light illuminates an Ornitholestes trying to sleep amongst the branches of a ginkgoale with cf. Eretmophyllum leaves

Ornitholestes is a small theropod dinosaur that is of uncertain relation to other maniraptorans (the group of "bird-like" dinosaurs such as Velociraptor, Gallimimus, Oviraptor, and others), though some evidence points to it potentially being the most basal member of Oviraptorosauria. Ornitholestes―unlike its depiction in Walking With Dinosaurs―did not possess a bony crest on its snout, it had a rectangular snout with a long tail and elongated second digits similar to―but not exactly the same as―dromaeosaurs

cf. Eretmophyllum leaves are a kind of ginkgoale leaf known from the Morrison formation where Ornitholestes is from, they had an overall elongate profile with a variable amount of small lobes at the top but typically three

in a murky ephemeral pond, a Tanyka swivels its jaw around to feast on the abundant algae present in the water, its lower jaw is the only thing in focus. a blurry forest of Calamites can be spotted in the background

Tanyka is a basal-tetrapod from Brazil only known from its lower jaws that suggest it was able to rotate its lower jaws in a novel way, the authors suggest that this feature accompanied by its unique tooth plates could mean it was herbivorous, but they make no definite conclusion

Calamites is a tree sized relative of horsetails which is known from the same formation as Tanyka, they looked vaguely like horsetails growing like cone-shaped spruce trees

an Eosteus swims slightly above the other members of its school

Eosteus is the oldest known well preserved and articulated bony fish. it's known from China and holds a wealth of information about the origins of bony fish and how we can go about researching basal members of Osteichthyes in the future. it appeared unlike any fish today with low-set eyes, large spines infront of all of its fins (save for the caudal fin), with the dorsal and anal fins being held up by the spines, and also elongate rhombic scales across its body
