Small brown bird with bright yellow patches on its throat and right above its tail. The bird is perched on a small branch facing away from the viewer but with head turned to profile. Blurry trees in the background.

A photo from yesterday's walk: yellow-rumped warbler.

One of the reasons I got into bird photography is that it helps me get out of my head and focus on being outdoors and in the moment.

Global Protections Secured for Giant Otter and Striped Hyena at UN Wildlife Summit CAMPO GRANDE, BRAZIL, March 29, 2026—Governments meeting at the 15th Conference of the Parties (CoP15) to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) have adopted proposals to list both the giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) and the striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) on CMS Appendices I and II, marking a major step forward for coordinated protection and international conservation of these wide-ranging species. The decisions, finalized in plenary at the close of the meeting, grant both species the highest level of protection under CMS while strengthening mechanisms for cross-border collaboration among range states. Appendix I listing requires strict protection and generally prohibits take, while Appendix II promotes international cooperation to conserve migratory species that traverse national boundaries. “These listings send a clear signal that the global community recognizes the urgent need to act for species that depend on connected landscapes and waters that span borders,” said Susan Lieberman, Vice President for International Policy at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). “For both the giant otter and the striped hyena, conservation success will depend on countries working together across entire ecosystems.” The giant otter, a charismatic freshwater species of South America, is often described as a sentinel of river...

A pair of owls in dry shortgrass prairie. One hunkers down in a Prairie Dog mound, only its head and a bit of breast and shoulder visible; the other stands at the side of the mound. Both are brown on top with white spots, and white with brown spots below. They are looking at the camera and have yellow eyes and a prominent white "eyebrow."

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #AdultsWithChicks, any photo of an adult bird with its young. This immature male Downy Woodpecker's red patch is still on top of his head. As he matures it will move toward the back and he'll look like his father there. ☺️

This fierce Gartner Snake fights back like a Rattler.... hit Play!

A flock of birds takes to the air in New Mexico’s Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. These are, probably, red-winged blackbirds, and there are far too many birds to count. Seriously, they completely obscure the background, which is a tree with dead leaves on it, and the rest is not possible to see because of the birds. They are flying in every direction, but all generally heading up. Did I mention that the only thing you can see, edge to edge, is birds flying? The foreground is a field of dried grasses. That you can see plainly. But beyond that, it’s all just birds in the air.

Together we make a difference

A female downy woodpecker, hammering at a young tree in the Little Etobicoke Creek Trail, in search of dinner.

That is one determined-looking Downy Woodpecker! It looks like she's really putting the "hammer" down on that bug hunt.

A close-up photograph of a female Downy Woodpecker, identifiable by its small bill relative to its head and the lack of red patch on its nape. The subject is positioned slightly off-center, utilizing the natural lines of the tree branches to frame the bird. The bird is in sharp focus, while the background is softly blurred (bokeh), which helps the subject stand out. The lighting seems natural and relatively soft, illuminating the intricate black and white plumage of the woodpecker without creating harsh shadows. The image captures fine details of the bird's feathers and the rough texture of the tree bark.

Just a little 'pecker' action on the Little Etobicoke Creek Trail. He's really getting into the wood work tonight! 🪶🌿🦉🐦🍁

In the center of the frame sits five fuzzballs with large beaks, looking at the departing parent on the viewer's left, their other parent directly behind the chicks looking at their mate perhaps saying "Thank you, don't be long..." with a piercing look.

Happy #Stunday friends... in keeping with the #Birdoftheday concept #Adultswithchicks, I'm harking back to last July, when I caught the peaceful transfer of babysitting and feeding duties between Green Heron parents. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #Photography #eastcoastkin 🦉📷🪶
