The first time you catch them snuggling is great. Try to get a pic of the inevitable butt-to-butt stealth cuddle!
Long discursion on work Zoom today about various people running across frighteningly large gangs of frighteningly large raccoons.
apologies in advance for spamming the thread with these beautiful birbs, they just make me feel so happy when they visit. they have become used to me and my curious camera.
this pretty just poses for me!
still trying to catch a shot of the little woodpecker pair, but they are very shy

Finally! A decent pic of mr. woodpecker! here he is drinking water from the spaces in between the palm fronds out front. I just think they are beautiful, but so shy!

2 of the momarchs have successfully completed metamorphosis. I was lucky enough to catch one still warming her wings. Below is a chrysalis going transparent.
Nice pictures; what’s the camera?
Thanks! Just my cell cam, samsung galsxy s9. It helped that today was beautiful with bright but diffuse light.

I’m sure it must be as much fun as a film directed by him.
Nossa, que bonita!
Very beautiful. Congratulations.
another rainy Saturday in the Conch. First sighting of Mr. Cardinal at the feeder. He is a little confused as to the pecking order - the bluejays are aggressive and the woodpeckers DGAF, but he’ll figure it out. Also, Ms. Cardinal got some yummy seeds from the feeder before the jays chased her off.
