markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 14/09/2026A lot of great choices, for me this one has to make the list. 020
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I’m having coffee. This handsome fellow (red bellied woodpecker, Melanerpes carolinus) is having dried mealworms. 040
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Great pic! Wrens are the best! Our resident male is molting his tail feathers on his way to becoming the dread bobtail wren. 020
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 28/07/2026The only monarch I support is Danaus plexippus. 030
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 27/07/2026You put your right foot in and you shake it all about 140
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Time and again you capture the essence of things large and small. Our resident says hi. 110
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 09/07/2026We have gopher apple (Geobalanus oblingifolius)! 000
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Back at ya from my Oil City laden Tele. Honky Tonk Angel neck, 49er bridge. 030
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Paddling into the sunrise on still waters. North River, Everglades National Park. 000
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 22/06/2026“I’m thinking of giving up the vegan lifestyle.” Catopsis berteroniana is considered to be a proto-carnivore. Pearl Bay area, Everglades National Park. #plants #bromeliads #Everglades 020
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 22/06/2026A week ago, starting my annual off-season solo canoe trip in the ‘Glades, heading out through the Hell’s Bay trail. #canoeing #Everglades 030
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Wormvine (Vanilla barbellata), a “leafless” orchid, native in tropical Florida. It “crawls” through the mangroves in the Everglades. Lostmans 5 River, Everglades National Park. 040
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Love the catbirds, most subtle of the mimids, strictly winter visitors for us, leaving us to the mockingbirds and brown thrashers at the end of spring. Thanks for the picture. 110
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 30/05/2026On left is a Squier baritone (my Gretsch is standard) on which I replaced almost everything and got a pro setup. A baritone opens up a whole new window, doesn’t it? Having fun with it. 020
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 30/05/2026We can argue whether it’s the Strat or the Telecaster. Give me either side, I have both. Play the Tele more, but my “comfort guitar” when I need it is my well worn ‘73 Strat. 120
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Great to be back in Montréal, banger of a race. 020
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Yamaha indeed has a history of being original! And asymmetric… 110
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Only have American crows (C. brachyrhynchos) and fish crows (C. ossifragus) where I live so I was excited to see this handsome pair on the street in Lerwick, Shetland. 110
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Nice! I’m more of a metal guitarist myself… 3120
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Survivorship bias. Think of all of the great songs that came out in 1966. Then choke on the fact that the Billboard #1 for the year was Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler’s “The Ballad of the Green Berets”. 020
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 27/04/2026The wrens are my faves. Was excited to see your subspecies zetlandicus at Sumburgh Head last fall. Tiny bird, giant voice, huge personality. Hi from our resident pair, Florida subspecies of Carolina wren miamensis. 110
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Our first new monarch of the season emerged Sunday 000
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 04/04/2026The green and the brown of it. Green Anolis carolinensis and the brown Anolis sagrei which has nearly extirpated the native green here in Florida. #lizards #reptiles 081
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 28/03/2026My big head ‘73 also has the well worn look naturally 020
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Happy Telecaster Tuesday! 75 years of the Tele. There are many electric guitars to want, but this is the only one you actually need. #Telecaster #electricguitar 050
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 21/03/2026This li’l guy has been in our yard all winter, competing with the bigger birds for peanut butter and mealworms. 011
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Coffee for me, dried mealworms for my companion on the deck. Happy #Wrensday 081
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 07/02/2026This guy was hunting in my front yard today. ‘Twas a great egret (Ardea alba L.) and lizards beware! #Birds 020
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Here’s the wren for you (Florida subspecies). The ‘Glades are a good place to see catbirds and swallowtailed kites in season. 120
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 25/01/2026“I’m not ‘eadless, was only preening!” 130
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 25/01/2026The path across the bridge was blocked by the dread Headless Limpkin (Aramus guaranua decapitus) #birds 040
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 20/01/2026* you mean “whoops, bought my first 12-string”. Good choice, love P-90s 140
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 12/01/2026From someone who grew up in the ‘60s: 020
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 11/01/2026We’re in the middle of the 6th great extinction, our country entering a new dark age, but Dana Cooper put on a great house concert last night. #livemusic 000
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 09/01/2026My well worn ‘73 says “hi”. It’s my comfort guitar. 120
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Good fortune for you! And captures the personality. And our Florida subspecies says “hi”. 110
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Starting the year with a blue (Cyanocitta cristata) attitude on a frosty morn. Good luck to us all in 2026, we’ll need it. 010
markasteele.bsky.social @markasteele.bsky.social · 31/12/2025And this morning, coffee for me, mealworms for the wrens. 000
