Be rude not to take a photo of a seasonal star, the Ivy #bee. This time of year it's clear to see why Ivy's so important, it's buzzing with bees, flies, and wasps. #MacroMonday #wildlifefrommywindow #invertebrates #UKWildlife

A squre photo that is a close up of an Ivy Bee on a cluster of Ivy flowers. Each ivy flower is like an icecream cone of green on the end of a pale green stalk, radiating from the ivy stem. Eacy flower is about the size of the little bees head. The bee is drinking from one flower with it's antennae pointed downwards. It has large black eyes, with an fuzzy orange face, and very pale hairs being its eye. The thorax is covered in short orange hairs, and the abdomen is striped with black and pale yellow.

Blackbird Morning! ...After days of dominance by Steller's Jays, this Saturday morning, the Red-Winged Blackbirds took over the place. #birdoftheday #pairs #wildlifephotography #nature #birds.

Photographed 26 September 2026, I knew the blackbirds were back at the farm from all the sweet songs (and a little less of Jays squawking). Jays are bigger and more aggressive but they do NOT want to be mobbed by Blackbirds! So they kept their distance for awhile. Safety in numbers...
Northern Oregon coast, Nikon D7200, 200mm F/5 1/640s ISO 2000, largely straight out of camera except for a cropping.

A mob of Red-winged Blackbirds were hungry enough to keep the Steller's Jays away for a little while. It's the numbers game...
Photographed Saturday, 26 September 2026, northern Oregon coast.

I love the way the morning sun illuminates the hairs on this bumble bee and the flower that it is feeding on. #InsectThursday #Macro #MacroPhotography #Bee #WeeBee #ECK 🌱 #Gardening 🐝😁

not fond of wind these days. not good for reflections on water. but years ago I loved flying paper kites. I'd replace the paper with a clear dry cleaner bag, tail & all, & when it was a few 100' up, you only saw string. now here's an idea, a live one. #InsectThursday #butterflies #insects #bugs

the Paper Kite butterfly (Idea leuconoe) feeding on a cluster of small red flowers

I decided to stalk hummingbirds this week. I had been waiting in one spot for quite awhile and not had much luck so I wandered off and just happened to walk right up to this ruby throated hummingbird having a drink in perfect light. #FlyDay #Photography #Birds #Hummingbirds
