The crocuses and camellias are out in the #pnw, just in time for #FlowersOnFriday! The camellia is mine; the crocuses were shot at the Western State Hospital cemetery. #lakewood

A very round Bohemian Waxwing on a branch with red berries. The bird is light brown and gray with darker brown upper wings. The edges of the wings are black with white, yellow and red spots. There is a peach band on the forehead and black around the eyes. The head crest is raised.

A portrait of a short eared owl face

All of our wildlife patients this year so far have been owls, but this is our first short-eared.
You can help prevent car strikes like this by obeying rural speed limits and not throwing any litter out of cars. Even organics like apple cores attract rodents to roads, which attracts their hunters. 🪶

The cover has a light blue sky in the upper half. Charlotte's Web is written in blue-green letters, all joined by a spider's web. Hanging down from the C in Charlotte is a spider on a thread. In the lower half is a young girl in a[ponytail, wearing a red top. She's facing left, towards the spider, holding a pig under her left arm. A sheep looks on on the left. A goose looks on on the right. She's leaning on a wooden fence, on which the author's name is printed in red and Garth Williams's in black.

The story behind the story. White decides to write about a spider; many drafts and “ripening time” later, he takes it to #UrsulaNordstrom; they collaborate with Garth Williams.
And what a result! #nonfictionkidlit #abramsbooks

Fifty years after New Zealand stopped whaling, humpback population showing signs of recovery Breeding is getting more competitive, suggesting the population is growing, a new study shows.

This is a marvelous change not only for the Humpback whale 🐋 population but for all of us. We need to keep our gentle giants from going extinct.

I am always overjoyed when my books reach new readers!

A light brown toad sitting on rocks and pine needles! They have a large, sharp crest from the tip of their nose, over their eyes, and connecting to their large parotoid glands! Their sides and cheeks are covered in large, spiny looking bumps!

Our friend the Noellert's Toad lives in the rainforests of southwestern Sri Lanka! They are an uncommon toad found in isolated areas that is sometimes also found along the forest edge near rubber plantations and tea estates! (photo by Edward Wong)

Boophis reticulatus, a brown tree frog with weird ridges on its back, perched on a serrated bright green Pandanus leaf.

Platypelis pollicaris, a little brown narrow-mouth frog with flecks of gold over its body, sitting atop a bright green leaf

A female Calumma oshaughnessyi, a large green and grey chameleon with diagonal stripes up its body, walking along a branch toward camera left.

A portrait of Liopholidophis dolicocercus (sorry if you’re using a system that reads these Latin names aloud!), a black, brown, and bright yellow snake. In my years working with snakes in Madagascar, I think I have never had a more cooperative subject. It was totally calm and posable!

Yesterday we hiked out of the forest after five days totally off-grid. Hard to believe what’s happened in the world in the last five days! I’m quite glad we were out of signal range and able to focus on just excellent frogs and reptiles. 🧪🐸🦎🐍🇲🇬

a celestial city resting on clouds above the sea. Gods look down as perched at the bottom of a long stair, a golden child weeps into the sea. Pencil, watercolour wash, chalk, white pen and white paint on toned paper. Colour applied.

Good morning
(and hire me, you cowards)
and good morning.

I LOVE crows. They are better, smarter friends than many humans ;-)

Peacock at The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine

The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine has quite a few peacocks just roaming around. Here’s one of the more typical birds, but there are striking all-white peacocks as well! #peacock #usa #florida #staugustine #birdphotos #photography #photos #birds

macro photo of a black bumblebee queen with a single yellow band near the end of her abdomen. You can see her from just below the her head down as she's tucked way into a bright yellow daffodil flower.

🚨🚨Bumblebee Butt Season has officially arrived‼️🚨🚨

(Just took this at 5:30 p.m., she is asleep 😂 those little back toes tho!)

A greenish black toad with large, widely spaced warty bumps on their back, perched on a stick! The warty bumps are brown in color, as is the top of their head, their large parotoid glands, and the back sides of their legs!

Our friend the Udzungwa Glandular Tree Toad was first described as a new species just a few months ago! Like other toads in genus Nectophrynoides, they do not lay eggs and instead give birth to fully developed toadlets! (photo by John Lyakurwa)

Friends, whom is your most favorite bird? :-)
