photo of a steller's jay on the branches of a bare fig tree. they are in profile facing right. their beak is slightly open as they are whisper singing.
Why yes, this IS still a Steller's stan account!
This pretty was having a lovely morning, burying their peanut in the wildflowers, had a nice drink at the pond, then hung out in the fig tree whisper singing and looking adorable.

#BirdOfTheDay is #Feeders
Periodic reminder as to why I have mostly caged feeders in my yard.
Hint: It's not because of the squirrels...

macro photo looking down on a geometrid moth with wings fully spread. The wings are dusty rose the head and upper thorax are tan.
Sabulodes aegrotata Geometrid Moth come in a huge variety of colors: cream or pale yellow to ochraceous, brown or blackish brown & combinations thereof, also spots or no spots.
That said - hard to beat Dusty Rose as THE BEST color form!

#BirdOfTheDay is #GreyDay - so many, many choices, but first to come to my mind was Clark's Nutcracker - an awesome Keystone Species and they bring All the Grey!

Happy Pi day!
3.14 (although it only really works with the US backwards date system).
Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, and is useful in lots of mathematical formulae.

Photo of a male rufous hummingbird sitting on the top of a curved metal hummingbird feeder hanger. he is in profile facing right. his gorget is refracting gold, orange and red.
At least one more Rufous showed up today - so now Mr. Alpha just spends his day sitting square on the feeder hangers (one of four lol)
I need to go fill the feeder on the far side of the yard so others get a chance! #birds #becurious 🪶

photo of a black miniature schnauzer standing tall as a large sheepadoodle dog is coming to a screeching stop just a couple of inches from him aimed right at him.
Stand with the confidence of an 18 lb. Schnauzer with a 48 lb. Sheepadoodle comin' at him like a freight train!
(Kiff stops on a dime, never an actual collision😂)

photo of a sheepadoodle dog mid turn and running toward the camera. she is wearing a red tee shirt.
What...a goofball!
Dogs have all got Spring Fever - bad!
(tee b/c she got topical tick treatment, the one that does NOT cause seizures - b/c I pulled a tick off her head this morning...they have the fever too I guess)

macro photo of a small geometrid moth on a blue-gray wooden deck. the moth is mottled black with a row of rusty orange splotches across their upper wings.
Time to get the Macro Muscles back into shape (oh believe me - it's a whole thing!)
Practicing with the amazing flexible twin flash @jencross.bsky.social gave me because my off camera flash muscles literally atrophied from my broken humerus in '19 😭
Genus Eupithecia moth

Make that herpS in the grass! Just went on a hike along the Beavercreek Wetlands, & spotted my first snake of the year - a nice big eastern gartersnake. Then further along, I saw 3 more! 😃

photo of a female rufous hummingbird in flight, she is facing the camera. you can see most of her, shot is through the diamond shaped hole of a white lattice fence.

Green-tailed Towhee shows us you don't have to be a water bird to appreciate a good guzzler!
