早いもので今日から10月ですね。10月1日、語呂合わせ的には「ジュウイチの日」ですが、ニッチすぎると思いますので #杜鵑（トケン）の日とでもしたらどうでしょう❓ ※毎月11日は⁈というツッコミは無粋ですぜダンナ😎 ということで（⁉️）ツツドリと思われる一枚です。鳴いてくれない&お腹側の模様を確認できなかったのでちょっと曖昧にしておきます😅🪶 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #OrientalCuckoo #ツツドリ #birds #野鳥 #Japan #BirdsSeenIn2026

A presumed Oriental Cuckoo perched on a thin branch, facing right. Its brown plumage has extensive pale barring and streaking, with a yellow eye-ring and orange-yellow bill. The long tail is barred with alternating dark and pale bands.
細い枝にとまり、右を向くツツドリと思われる鳥。褐色の体に淡色の横斑や縦斑があり、黄色いアイリングと黄橙色のくちばしが見える。長い尾には暗色と淡色の横斑が並んでいる。

Top tv shows but make it about birds: #1 Beaking Bad (Black Skimmers) #birds 🌿

Three black and white birds stand on a sandy beach. Two face each other and look like they’re having an argument. One’s beak is wide open and the other has its beak up in the air defiantly.

Apparently, Anthropeum is confused over the provenance of this particular item in today's game. This is OBVIOUSLY a 9th Century representation of the Rabbit of Caerbannog.

text from Metropolitan Museum:

"sculptural vase is among the earliest extant representations of a Greek ketos, or sea monster. The creature has a formidable leonine head with big eyes and a goatee, a striped belly, scales, and two flipperlike fins. With its long, furry ears pressed back and its large, prominent teeth bared, it gestures menacingly.".

Bullshit. That's no sea monster- it's a Killer Rabbit

Extreme close-up of a dog-day cicada doing its best tree-hugging impression. It’s rocking a flashy green, black, and gold patterned suit on its head and thorax, paired with a massive, soul-staring black eye. Its wings are completely clear but webbed with copper veins, extending way past its body. The background is a beautifully blurred, warm peach color, making this screaming tree-shrimp look majestic.

Kind of a difficult photo in terms of dynamic range and shadows, but pretty good view of a green heron in the last stages of swallowing a bullfrog 🪶

Sorry, I was away working all day But I'm a moon-driven photographer, are you? So it's time to post #moon #forest #Silhouette #scape against the Waxing Gibbous moon #storytelling #luiscordobapharchive #eastcoastkin #art #photographer #moonrise

Vertical orientation twilight landscape photograph. A waxing gibbous moon hangs high in a sky that transitions from deep blue at the top to soft pink and gold near the horizon, with thin bands of cloud crossing the frame. A single bird is visible in flight low in the sky. Along the bottom edge, a dark silhouetted treeline and hillside fence run horizontally across the frame, backlit by the warm glow of dusk. Optimized for moonrise landscape photography, twilight silhouette scenes, and rural dusk sky documentation.
