One of my favourite little fall migrants - American Pipit. I love finding these little guys bobbing along the shoreline of roadsides as they stop on their way south. #birds

An American pipit perched a rock along a rocky shore. It's a little grey-brown bird with a white breast and brownish wing and tail.

Gracklepalooza is winding down, but it’s been a good one this year! While most are gone, there are still a few around though! This male Common Grackle was flying to the next tree over, and wanted to make sure we got a good look at his “common” colours🤣 #Birds 🪶

Walking around in the bush with my head down again this morning. I’m absolutely in love with the gills on this mushroom. I think it might be a type of oysterling. 🍄🌿

Looking at the underside of a frilly oyster mushroom. The different lobes overlap, each other kind of like a nudibranch, it’s tan gills form, beautiful, ripping patterns.
