A profile shot of an Atlantic Puffin resting on gently rippling ocean waves, carrying a mouthful of tiny fish.
The ultimate "one trip for the groceries" flex! 🛍️🐟 Atlantic Puffins use their tongues to pin fish to the spiny roofs of their mouths. This lets them keep hunting with an open beak without dropping a thing. I love this stubborn efficiency! 🐧✨

The head, neck and front of the shell of a long necked turtle taken from grass level.
On really hot Spring and Summer days I sometimes encounter oblong (or long necked) turtles making their way from the water to lay eggs, or in this case, heading back to the safety of the lake. Even though they bury the eggs they are vulnerable to predation. #wildlife #turtle #wildelifephotography
This photo shows two American Avocets wading in shallow water at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. The birds are captured mid-action, with their slender, upturned bills close to the water's surface as they forage for food. Their distinctive plumage is visible, showcasing their black and white pattern with a hint of buff on the back and neck. The blue-gray legs are long and delicate, perfectly adapted for wading in the water. The scene reflects a calm environment, with ripples spreading out from the birds and their reflections mirrored on the water's surface, creating a serene and natural atmosphere. The lighting enhances the texture of their feathers and adds depth to the reflections and water.
