That’s definitely some rare "Mylar-ey" plumage you’ve spotted there! While it might look like a exotic species at first glance, I hate to burst your bubble, but this bird is clearly a bit of a high-flyer that just couldn't quite stick the landing. If you really thought this was a feathered friend, your vision might be a little deflated. You should probably soar over to an eye doctor before your perception of nature goes completely sky-high. In all seriousness, it’s just a rogue bag of garbage or something that’s decided to branch out and retire in the treetops!

A "spec-tacular" mistake, "If you think that’s an eagle, your vision is officially ballooney. Time for an optometrist! 🥸

The Bald Eagles were not the only ones eating Smelt on the Lewis River ... perhaps a dozen Sea Lions were cruising the river as well, about 80 miles upstream from the ocean!

The male Gartner Snakes come out first in #Spring. The female #snakes come out later and release an odor when ready to breed, attracting many males. She stores the sperm until ready to use.

This handsome buck was carefully monitoring his group of five does and on alert for other males.

A coyote standing directly in front of me, on a leaf covered forest floor (no snow!) looking slightly downwards.

What a thrill to see this magnificent beast this morning while out birding. Beautiful coyote! #notabird #coyote

For #TagTuesday I went back to summer 2015. I managed to get some shots from the swimming pool at #Camp30 in Bowmanville Ontario (before it was fenced in and guarded 24/7).

Much of the fun of the #BirdoftheDay challenge by @robcrank68.bsky.social and @alan678.bsky.social has been digging around in my archives for birds that fit their themes. That's how I fell on this long-forgotten shot from New York City, originally captioned "She got rhythm".

A largish hooved animal that somewhat resembles a pig is taking a step across a wooded trail and appears to stop in mid step to look at the photographer. The animal has a long face with a prominent snout, small ears and eyes and is mostly light and dark gray in color. There is a tuft of light gray standing up between the ears.

Happy #Critterday!! Because sometimes you see more than birds on the trail.

I actually had to tilt my head sideways before I could see this one. After I did, though, I liked it. #collectiondevelopment #NotABird bookshop.org/a/4013/97807...

Okay, not a bird this time... but oh my goodness that cute nose. I had the pleasure of seeing her raise her 5 babies to adulthood. Never named, just called her Mama.

A squirrel outside a dorm at Reed College with a round breakfast pastry of some sort. It looks unashamed and rightly so. A green dumpster wheel in the corner “artfully”

I could probably fill this account with squirrel pictures I got while birding. This one felt right for today. Happy Thanksgiving. 🐿️ #notabird
