Great start to my day at Estero Llano Grande State Park. Two bobcats graced me with their presence. As they ran into the thornscrub, a relieved cottontail rabbit ran in the opposite direction.

Christmas week in Colorado. . . If my retirement plans were to be foiled (and I was compelled to retire in the United States), I would choose the front range of Colorado or the White Mountain region of New Hampshire.

Forests are giant living neural networks thanks to fungi! Mycelial networks share nutrients & info between trees. It's nature's ultimate, hidden social network, keeping ecosystems thriving. The planet's own internet, running for millennia! #NatureNerd #FungalFacts 🌳🍄🌲
Did you hang your sexy, poison, vampire plant for Christmas yet? Aka #mistletoe 😳🎄 It’s so powerful it convinced mommy to cheat on daddy while the children watched. 🎅🏻
I love deep diving on our seasonal-nature-holiday traditions! 💚❤️

Late in the season - we’ve had plenty of below freezing nights (as low as 20° F) and even a couple of snows, but this Morning Glory Plume Moth was hanging out on the back door the other night when it was milder.

I wish I had a good macro feature on my phone, because I think @soundoftheforest.bsky.social would LOVE the subtle coloration on this snail's shell. #NatureNerd #HumbleCreatures
Yes I know I spelled it wrong in the video (sorry!). But check out the colors in this Steller’s Jay - a Corvid related to the Blue Jay.

Happy Sunday! All my paintings are in ugly mode, instead I’ll share #trinkets
Mostly natural items I’ve collected or been gifted over the ears, & few little keepsakes.
Who else has feral pockets full of rocks, seashells, bones, mushrooms, or moss at all times? I love a pocket surprise! #naturenerd

Another encounter with my neighbors on my second walk of the day. The fawns have mostly lost their spots. Our little ones are nearly grown.

There was just a pigeon flying in Armstrong ... which reminds me, where are the raccoons? There used to be raccoon sightings in the upper area of one of the main courts. 😅 🦝 🎾 #USOpen #NatureNerd
My 4000th iNaturalist observation was this #Lorquin’sAdmiral today!

A detailed, close-up photograph of a common garden snail with a vibrant golden-yellow shell and iridescent grey body, delicately poised at the sharp edge of a textured, dark reddish-brown wooden surface. The snail's antennae extend outward, exploring the deep, velvety black background, dramatically isolated by flash illumination which emphasizes its form and the intricate textures of both the snail and the wood. · Slow, shining explorer, / Edge of dark wood, a bright gleam, / Park's cute star ascends.

The crabeater seal has the most uniquely shaped teeth of any animal.
