Photo of a super cute, yellow and very fluffy baby chick with some other wee chicks in the background of the photograph. Photo taken by me.

This little floofy chick wants to say hello!

'If my people': Here's why the Bible passage Trump will read aloud is so potent and polarizing President Donald Trump plans to read a notable Bible passage in a livestreamed marathon. The passage, from 2 Chronicles 7:14, is often quoted by those who believe America was founded as a Christian na...

Blue-black Grosbeak

This is a chunky, dark songbird found in the humid lowlands of Central and South America, known for its deep blue-black male plumage and rich dark brown female, both with stout bills. A member of the cardinal family, it skulks in lush vegetation.

A perfect spring scene in a red horse chestnut tree. On the left, there's a nest box with a royal blue male bluebird perched on the edge of the hole into it. He's in the shadows and there are a few leaves just above the nest box. On the right, there's a beautiful female bluebird perched on a thin branch, facing left with the sun hitting her. She has a beige face, neck, and belly and light brown wings with a bit of pale blue on the outer edge as well as the crown of her head. Right below her, there are a bunch of small pink flowers. Behind her, there are blurred leaves, branches, and a bit of blue sky.

"I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more bluebird"

This little family that lives near me have been great models.

Against the backdrop of a fully opened crimson rose a hovering green hummingbird slips its bill down into the yet folded bud of another soon to bloom red rose.

It took several weeks to capture a good photo of the resident Anna's hummingbird at a rose in the front yard...

Photo by Kort Duce A female Cooper’s hawk captures a female house finch while hunting along the riparian corridor of St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. I had been photographing the male when she suddenly flew in, landing within 30 feet of me—where this image was made. In this horizontal color photograph, the hawk perches with its prey on a substantial branch that angles from the upper right to the lower left of the frame. A smaller branch rises from it and exits the frame. The Cooper’s hawk clutches the house finch in its right talon, the finch’s eye barely open. The hawk is shown in left profile, its head turned slightly farther left. A shadow from a nearby branch crosses its chest and wing, while a shaft of sunlight catches its red eye, making it glow. The background is a soft blur of riparian forest—tree trunks, layered foliage in varying shades of green, and a faint hint of blue sky. A powerful reminder that nature is, at its core, about survival. Ok

Fruity Petals™ is a vibrant climbing rose from William J. Radler—yes, the Knock Out® guy—that fans your garden with ruffled blooms of coral fading into apricot and finished with a sunny yellow eye. It explodes in a heavy spring bloom and keeps going with repeat flushes all season. Grace Rose Farm

Growing up reading Mad Magazine is probably why I am immune to Trump!

A heron in front of some reeds by a pond, with its hungry beak open, poking out its hungry tongue. It's facing left, which means it's not trying to eat you. Not yet. But you're next. Oh, so soon, you will be next.

The dinosaurs did not die out. They walk among us. And they are hungry.

RFK Jr. is the perfect example of someone striving to create a "master race" that he would not be allowed to be a part of.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”

A small hummingbird with faint orange on its sides, a white belly, shining green feathers on its head, and the same green feathers mixed with white on its throat, perches on the branch of a plant. It's turned to the right and has its beak against the branch as it sticks its long, curved, clear tongue out. Behind the bird is an out-of-focus bright red lily flower. 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM M, f/7.1, 1/2000, ISO 1600, 500mm 7/30/24 Northern Oregon Coast
