Rufous Hummingbirds have incredibly long migration journeys for such a small bird, so the fact that it still has energy to put its feathery dukes up is quite impressive.<br/><br/>#nature #birds #photography <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/5eb67146c81e348ed71ed7353fe97db04832ed787b298bcc72b1cf28404e8a94.jpg"> 2026-07-16T03:04:32Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdlxnu48zjs060qkkglesa82ps4fp2gepwdgn4zfyxzyumfeus4rqzyphfkdew64pqcw8h98rpp907m233398whj4kw28zcgy6ejedy5n8c4qlgd7 Probably the most gorgeous coyote I&#39;ve ever seen — and I haven&#39;t been lucky enough to cross paths with many.

Bob has a broader face than any of the other owls I watch, and is also much paler than his mate Helen. His eyebrows aren&#39;t particularly dark or thick, but are still very distinct. His face also has very few light brown lines on it when compared to other owls, which probably adds to him looking paler. #grownostr #photography #wildlightsam<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/aeb17cbd1b14118840a654ad8d446181ae84d97c6d019e01b45abc034b985273.jpg"> 2026-07-04T13:08:11Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsy7yuh9rgmtx5hp4969c8rdptzlrja8ef8v27k0k38f55l8y5z6sqzyphfkdew64pqcw8h98rpp907m233398whj4kw28zcgy6ejedy5n8cd435tw #grownostr Found a very cute turtle in a parking lot, so cleared him to q safer spot.<br/><br/>#nostr #wildlife #photography #turtle <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/6badf48906751d2965f65bf480a9847c19f8c233f04724f642d13edd0b44ecac.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/b04ca1918c4f967ff247984678075843b45663af906b1cca4783256dfe1e0f71.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/3572eea1d9723bd055d577ef11a7337a55d6847d61f1d0eac55cf1e7538487d9.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/99415dd094421db17ebbe7dacaa69ae84e48185bc9b9bcb9f9a95827a769e674.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/fa39fd4caa6a75969cdc49176c4363bfe0feae3c07e4a06bccef26d2cba6b246.jpg"> 2026-07-02T22:57:31Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyy8t8q27h3scafs9ztf82zfds5nee6sz3wzfm8y5znu5k4mv9wrqzyphfkdew64pqcw8h98rpp907m233398whj4kw28zcgy6ejedy5n8cq6dsqg Check out that iridescent neck<br/>This #CommonLoon is in breeding plumage, and from the right angle those feathers really do shine If you enjoy my work, consider buying me a coffee ⚡️☕️ <br/><br/><br/>#wildlightsam #photography #grownostr #wildlifephotography <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/03d264c301c6e9578aa7ef0c5ebb22263a9345fceea6a0fffcef6cc949fd4a92.jpg"> 2026-07-01T01:05:09Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswgsfgnljswjanw2ts659huk54clwanr4y9y0a08zye0xjuzex9rgzyphfkdew64pqcw8h98rpp907m233398whj4kw28zcgy6ejedy5n8cap9y27 Owls can fly so silently thanks to the serrated edges on the front and back edges of their wings, which breaks up the turbulence normally caused during flight and reduce noise.

There&#39;s something deeply humbling about that-how such a small body can carry so much direction, instinct, and purpose without ever hesitating.<br/>When you see one, it doesn&#39;t feel like just spotting a bird. It feels like witnessing motion turned into life. A flicker of copper and fire moving through the air, never staying still long enough to be fully contained by the eye. It appears, disappears, and reappears like a thought you almost forgot-but somehow needed.<br/>And then there&#39;s the sound. That soft, fast hum that doesn&#39;t feel mechanical, but alive. On a quiet trail, it becomes part of the landscape itself—blending with wind, leaves, and sunlight. It doesn&#39;t interrupt nature; it completes it.<br/>The Rufous Hummingbird also carries a deeper message without ever speaking. It reminds you that size has nothing to do with strength. That beauty doesn&#39;t need to be loud to be powerful.<br/>And that persistence can exist even in the smallest heart.<br/>In many ways, it feels like a symbol of return-of seasons changing, of life moving forward even after stillness, of hope arriving in motion rather than words.<br/>To walk and hear them buzzing around you is to be reminded that life is not just happening far away or in big moments. It is happening right here, in small wings, in brief encounters, in the quiet spaces we often overlook.<br/>And maybe that&#39;s what makes the Rufous Hummingbird so unforgettable-it doesn&#39;t stay long, but it changes how you see everything after it leaves.<br/><br/>#nostr #nature #photography #art<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/4043dbe2dbd855649412422a6e417336576a26b7826873fab3e07ab439d3de8e.jpg"> 2026-06-15T19:39:15Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2w9wc6aszy6nganhykt6mxga5wmaq294n5sz5q86z2gte0deavgczyphfkdew64pqcw8h98rpp907m233398whj4kw28zcgy6ejedy5n8c92r3g4 The Sandhill Crane can remember migration routes for years and pass them down across generations.

In the past I&#39;ve never been able to get a good angle on flickers when they are on the ground, they always seem to get nervous just as l start to crouch down. But this one didn&#39;t seem to mind my presence at all, and posed quite a few times for the camera.<br/><br/>#nostr #photography #photostr #bird #zaps <br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/87b6d6b9e5921f3cca1eedd5de3454e0f0d03110c0f3d55d6ba818acea52711c.jpg"> 2026-06-02T01:05:43Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsp6wpc34vx7x7jtsamqc6673r5kduk6w292qw5h038nyqvcspqxpczyphfkdew64pqcw8h98rpp907m233398whj4kw28zcgy6ejedy5n8c9vwjuw Don&#39;t let their small size fool you — Pacific Wrens have some powerhouse vocals!

The species is known for its owl-like forward-facing eyes with striking bright red irises. It is the only fully nocturnal bird of prey in its family, resting in trees during the day and hunting at night. It&#39;s primary food source is the long-haired rat (Rattus villosissimus), making its population size closely tied to rodent outbreaks.<br/><br/>#nostr #bird #photography <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/9a6b30277b45929dd2b82f2bca74233f431cb1f7727289d20a3a8132999482f7.jpg"> 2026-05-28T00:05:03Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszpcpkqg5vxnf8mtgp4ague7hcqna3e39pxmvf68plnpyfa6w4jpszyphfkdew64pqcw8h98rpp907m233398whj4kw28zcgy6ejedy5n8ceggdhy Ward&#39;s trogon showcasing its vibrant purple and scarlet plumage. This species is native to the northeastern Indian subcontinent, extending into Southeast Asia, including countries like Bhutan, India, and Myanmar. The male, pictured here, is easily identifiable by its wine-purple back, bright red belly, and distinctive blue eye-ring. These birds are typically found in mature tropical hill forests, where they tend to remain still on mid-level perches while foraging for insects and fruit.<br/><br/>#nature #nostr #bird <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/1a416362f18071f694be1fec12dab8fef1fb3ac4db53f5dc937d04838987d550.jpg"> 2026-05-27T23:59:14Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs04f9u8grnnf7ja8gjmeh9kzf0jtqaur9dnjmusdl8cje6gkj69kszyphfkdew64pqcw8h98rpp907m233398whj4kw28zcgy6ejedy5n8c9593lw What&#39;s better than one cover girl??
