A moth with an orange face and black eyes. It is hanging from a twig looking directly at the camera. It is very fluffy, like a teddy bear
Moth faces are so cute. Here’s a moth in the genus Trosia
Splitting the word helicopter by meaning isn't 'heli' and 'copter' but 'helico' (spiral) and 'pter' (wing) and that's neat.

That's home. That's us.
This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.
Taken after their translunar injection burn, there are aurorae at top right and lower left, and zodiacal light at lower right.

Friday evening there were only 4 male Rufous in the yard - 3 of them were out in the sun guarding and being...Roufousy. This Mr. opted to quietly sit in the bramble in the shadows.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

Yep. That’s Kiki.

me? oh yeah, fine. I'm doing great. just sort of left my body for a second to observe the current moment and my place in it from a high angle, sort of like what I imagine you'd see from a spy satellite? but one that can look through time? but yeah, I'll have that report done by the end of the day
the milky way over a mountain peak with snow, and in front of that are trees, a little big of light pollution yellow

A ground squirrel is balanced on the top metal tube of a fence. The squirrel is facing the camera and its long fluffy tail is hanging down seen between the round vertical tubes of the fence.
Happy #SquirrelAppreciationDay to all who celebrate.
Ground squirrel balancing on the calibrated fence from last February.
Usually one or two perform cleanup chores under the platform seed feeders.

CNN graphic censoring the “bull” part of “bullshit” - “b*llshit”
CNN graphics put the asterisk in the wrong place, it appears…
This is a doodle I drew in 2020. It contains the growth process of an animal artist.

I ADORE HER (video to follow) 🪶
This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.
A male Anna’s hummingbird at the door. So nosy! 🤣
Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door.
This is who it was:
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.
Baby pigeon mystery.

A white willow ptarmigan with reddish-brown mottling on the back and head walks with purpose over the rocky ground, it's long, fluffy legs eating up the distance with each stride.
Coming through! Important ptarmigan stuff to do!

it's crazy that if you're a cat, your only two life outcomes are eating out of a trash can or getting treated like a little baby
A black and white photo of a baseball game, you can see that it is mid pitch with a pirate at bat
Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect
