Some cute little round baby birds #Birds

A tailless baby carolina wren sitting among tangled stems. It is small and round with a reddish brown back and a light belly and eyebrow.

A tailless baby song sparrow perched on a shaded branch. it is turned away but looking back over its shoulder towards the camera.

lil guy alert !! #Reptiles #Snakes #WildlifePhotography baby Eastern Copperhead (lifer!)

a eastern copperhead coiled one and a half times around facing away from the camera. It has a tan body that gets lighter towards the underside, with darker brown triangular "hershey kiss" patterning repeating along its length. The end of its tail is a lime green color. It is very cute.

the same snake from a side angle. It is holding it's head up off the ground to probably try to be more imposing.

woah ive only seen juveniles, didnt realize they got fancy patterns

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

I think you have bank swallows here, NRWS tend to have a smooth transition from brown to white where as these have a stark change. The neckband would be obscured though unfortunately

also also tonight is the peak of the perseids meteor shower so keep looking up after that moon is lower!

one of my favs, look at all those shiny details

lifer Velvet Ant! I had been wanting to see one of these for awhile #Inverts #Photography #Nature

A large burnished orange ant-like insect with 2 yellowish spots on its abdomen with very blocky proportions sitting on the edge if a rock embedded in dry muddy gravel.

a closer look at the insect, fine hairs can be seen on its body, hence where they get the name velvet ant.

do they mind eachother too? O:

oo that one looks really cool what kind is it? there are so many out right now its really nice, even if I can only tell what a handful are lol

youngsters running around the lake 3 juvenile Green Herons watching for their parents to fly back (they got impatient and chased after them after a few minutes instead) #Birds #Photography #Nature

all the way from (almost) space!

Wow what did you put out for them? We've never had any luck getting them to come to feeders, despite them being all over the area. This year has been rainier than most others lately, hopefully not seeing them just means that they found alot more food in the wild 🤞

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

I think you have a Baltimore Oriole there!

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

our local one usually squawks 3 times around 1am almost every night. first time I thought maybe some mammal was poking around its sleeping spot but its so regular I think its just what they do

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

this was my guess as well, and after looking up undertail patterns a palm should have some yellow at the base and this one doesn't seem to

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

also in pa, tan jumpers I usually see on wood like tree trunks or telephone poles and can be gray.

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

thank you, was totally unexpected too!

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

another new lifer this spring, this Nashville Warbler scoping for food #Birds #Photography #Nature

A Nashville Warbler on the end of a branch in front of a cluster of leaves and catkins. It is a small bird with yellow belly, gray hood, and white eye ring.

The same bird, but now stretching its neck far to the right and looking down to inspect catkins hanging below the branch.

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

heres a two for for ya, none of the birds here follow the rules

A tree swallow, with its bright white belly and navy blue hood, facing the camera while perched on an old orange metal sign covered in spots of lichen. The text "Restricted" is visible above where the image cuts off.

A female eastern bluebird, with dusty faint blue back, light orange flanks and white underbelly, perches on a wood post in front of a grassy embankment. The post has a square red sign saying "Restricted Area Keep Out"

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Finally got to see a Blackburian Warbler, my #1. I had picked them up a few times before but couldn't find them. Even all the way at the top of the trees his vibrant bold color pattern stands out. #Birds #Photography #Nature

baby robin and bluebird spots are such interesting patterns, its kinda sad they dont keep them

huh interesting, I didn't know that was a thing. Ours does that too, often frequently. I thought she was scent marking. We did suspect she didnt come from a home though because we got her from a rescue at 3, and she only just got spayed there. gotta stay vigilant 😔🤞

this year has been a constant battle, my dog wants to run head first into every patch of it along the trails and its everywhereee

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

got alot of lifers this spring, like this Worm Eating Warbler, hanging out in the woods. #Birds #Photography #Nature

A Worm Eating Warbler holding on to one of 3 vertical sticks. The bird is small and yellowish tan, its wings and tail slightly darker. It has a thin sharp bill, a black stripe over its eye and top of head, and pink legs. The background is fill with light green foliage.

i was excited, got it right before it got dark and storms came in. Got to be the one to tell everyone else where to go for once.

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

🖤🧡❤️bug christmas only comes once every 17 years

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

🙌I love periodicals. a few days ago I thought I heard some droning in the distance and sure enough saw a few. Just on the edge of brood 14's range

Jay @jayfrompa.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

I got to find this sneaky Prothonotary Warbler recently #Birds #Nature #Photography

A small bright yellow bird with a black sharp beak and black eyes, perched on a thin branch among green leafy foliage.

Closer looks of the little blues. Other days only 1 has been seen, I wonder if both are still hanging around. #Birds #Photography #Nature

little blue heron perched on one leg on a branch over water. It is mostly white white a few darker patches on its wing. It is looking to the right, with its s shaped neck tucked in, showing its light blue bill that gets darker towards the tip.

little blue heron hunting in water. It is mostly white white a few darker patches. It is walking to the left, neck out stretched surveying the water. Just behind it is dense foliage. A rippled mirror image of the bird is reflected on the water's surface.

thank you! it was my first time seeing one too

Lil Blues in the rain. surprise visitors brought in with the storms, but maybe they'll hang around #Birds #Photography #Nature
