This bird has a black head with red eyes and white chest with orange wings and black tail perched on twig surrounding by red azalea flowers

I think I have posted this before — but here’s a male Eastern Towhee perched on an azalea twig framed by red azalea flowers. Azaleas are in peak right now— so beautiful! #birdoftheday #Petals&Perches #springflowers #spring #flowers #birds #ECK

That’s so kind of you!

Everyone can make a small contribution to protecting the habitat of these important creatures. Choose native plants. Plant native wildflowers, herbs like lavender and thyme, or shrubs such as cornelian cherry.

Love that eye level shot!

Thanks, Robyn!

I am so lucky to see and photograph it! Thank you! 😊

Yes! 😍

Happy Friday, Susan! Have a fabulous weekend! Look forward to getting much needed rain on Sunday for my native plants.

Forests are breeding and nesting havens for all kinds of birds—here are a couple of Cattle Egrets in a dense rainforest in Panama.

A small brown butterfly with white speckles at the tip of the wings perched on back of a human hand.

Some type of small duskywing butterfly landed on my friend’s hand while hiking in Shenandoah National Park a while back. Isn’t that neat?! #butterflyweek #butterflies #insects #eastcoastkin

Boundary Waters north of Minnesota.. one of the last remaining wilderness in USA

I called both of my state senators yesterday. This is infuriating!

A very common bird in Central America.

Here’s a #headshot of a Tropical Flycatcher - #birdoftheday #headshots #birds

I think so too! All butterflies are exquisite! 😍

One of the most common butterflies in Panama, apparently. A dark brown with two cream colored bands with red markings at the hind of the wing.

Here’s a Banded butterfly from Panama — continuing the #butterflyweek fun! #butterflies #eastcoastkin

Lovely red cardinal! Birds are awesome!
