This is a colour art edited photo of a female gorilla peeking out from the foliage watching me as I trek through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. Her curious eyes are just peeking beyond the leaves wondering just how did I get here? As photographed in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda

Good morning. ☕☕☕

13 May 2025

Hopefully, today is a yardwork day. I tend to put things off whenever I feel like it, but the ever-growing grass serves as a reminder that I need to take action—kind of like my cluttered desktop. For weeks, I've been telling myself I need to clear it off, yet I let things stay there simply as reminders that each item requires attention. You see how that works, right? Then there's the water bottle in the corner—I have no idea why it's there, but it's been sitting for a while. A mystery not worth solving. I also need to vacuum my office floor. The Roomba comes through every morning, but lately, it just seems to shuffle things around.

"Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill." — Christopher Parker

Notice things.

Sometimes, when I'm out walking, I spot something and snap a picture. Unlike the days of film, there’s no cost to taking the shot—even if it seems unremarkable at the time. But later, as I sift through the photos, I notice details I overlooked. When I took this particular shot, I focused on the birds without really seeing the forest around them. I’m not sure what species they are, but I’d guess they belong to the local pigeon battalion.

"This image beautifully captures a forest scene during autumn, with trees displaying a mix of golden yellow and green foliage. The sky is a vibrant blue with a few wispy clouds drifting across it. Adding an element of movement to the tranquil landscape, several birds are seen soaring high above the treetops. The framing includes branches on both sides, creating a natural border that enhances the depth of the scene. The contrast between the rich autumn colors and the crisp sky makes this an eye-catching photograph, highlighting both the serenity and liveliness of nature." - Copilot

Sooty Oystercatchers (Haematopus fuliginosus),natives of Australia and New Zealand.If an oyster or other bivalve is slightly open, the oystercatcher quickly, precisely insert its bill to snip the adductor muscle that holds the two halves together. Then it's lunch. #birds #birdsofmastodon #biology #nature #photography #wildlife

Imagine a striking bird that lives along the coast, especially on rocky shores. The Sooty Oystercatcher is entirely black, from its head to its tail, looking very sleek. What really stands out are its bright, almost glowing, red-orange bill, which is quite long and strong, and its pinkish-red legs. These vibrant colors against its dark body make it quite distinctive.

These birds are found in places like Australia and New Zealand. They are often seen walking confidently on rocks or along the waterline, searching for food. Their name "oystercatcher" gives a clue about what they eat, but they're not just limited to oysters! They use their powerful, specially designed bill to pry open or even hammer into hard-shelled creatures like mussels, limpets, and, yes, oysters. They can also snip the muscles inside a slightly open shell to get to the soft meat. Besides shellfish, they'll also eat crabs, marine worms, and other small creatures found in the coastal environment.

I’ve been following up on a Barred Owl family with three chicks. Love this captured moment as sunlight filtered through the trees of a dense PNW forest.

A cute barred owlet perches gracefully on a moss-covered branch, surrounded by the rich, dark textures of a dense forest of the Pacific Northwest. They've fledged along with two siblings just over two weeks ago and I've been following their developments.
Captured them at the right moment when sunlight filtered through the trees, illuminating the baby owl's intricate feather patterns and creating a serene, natural atmosphere at an Edmonds park in Washington state.

It seems we have a bold one! Baby Porcupine (more like Toddler Porcupine) ventured out without mom, during the day. Maybe it’s just practicing going over Porcupine Bridge but I think this one is going to be a HANDFUL. 😂

The more we try to understand chimpanzees, one of our closest relatives, the more we find ourselves humbled by the richness and complexity of their lives — and of their intelligence.

Today, on World Chimpanzee Day, we look back at some of the latest studies that reveal facets of these great apes’ long, powerful memories.

Today I was taking some yard waste down to the compost pile and I encountered this cute fawn doing its best to remain perfectly still. I like that it can fit through the fence but none of its predators can. Today it was able to relax safely in the shade. Its only disturbance was this clumsy oaf dragging his yard waste through the woods. I kept an eye on it from our deck. I hope momma recognizes the safety of our yard and returns her baby tomorrow.
