Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 10/11/2025SSA… this is making the rounds. Too tired to read into it or to check out the legitimacy right now but possibility it’s correct and that would reframe things somewhat 101

Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Those guys look just like the white clean cut all American guys in a game from my childhood called “Mystery Date”. Yes that was from the 1960s. In my Suburban town, it was very white. 030
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 13/09/2025If you come across a bird that is struck a window put it somewhere quiet and warm. If it doesn’t perk up then please find a wildlife rehab because it might be swelling in the brain or an eye ulcer. 150
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 05/09/2025“ I’m so pretty…. I’m so pretty.” This mandarin duck drake should not be in my yard. But isn’t he glorious? #wildlifephotography #birds #nature #Mandarinduck 1286

Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 16/08/2025A throwback when we first brought home, the kitten brothers from the SPCA. They were found in an area park that obviously somebody had abandoned them. #caturday #cats . Elliott and Oliver 080
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Every day now there is a #greatblueheron and a belted kingfisher fishing the pond. These are through the window photos because they’re shy and cranky at the same time. But it looks like it’s some kind of prehistoric dinosaur walking through the greens. #birds #wildlifephotography #heron 110
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Brown-belted #bumblebee on gray-head coneflower #wildflowers #macromonday #wildlifephotography #pollinators. This plant’s flowers fill in from bottom to top and bloom for a long time. Happy to have it in the wildflower garden. 010

Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Just a boy in the ocean in Cape May. Get out and enjoy #nature while we still have it. Support #conservation efforts. Plant #wildflowers . Learn about the #wildlife including bees and butterflies in your own area. Pass down what you learn to the next generation. 030
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 29/07/2025Cheeky #bluejay taking a peanut. Frequently a Bluejay will come and clear out the feeder area by calling like a Cooper’s Hawk. Very clever birds. #birds #wildlifephotography #bird #corvids 030
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 28/07/2025This is a fifth instar monarch caterpillar. I startled it when I put clean milkweed in the tank and so it decided to play dead. They aren’t very palatable because of the toxins they get for milkweed but they’re not impervious to dangers #macromonday #monarch #vertebrate 041

Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 24/07/2025The monarch butterfly eggs hatch in about five days into tiny first instar caterpillars. The monarch lays one egg per plant usually because they eat an awful lot. This tiny little white caterpillar with a black head turns around and eats the egg shell. #wildlifephotography #macromonday #monarch 131
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 18/07/2025I watch this monarch lay her eggs, which is usually one egg per milkweed, and I collected some eggs before they can be infected with something. You can see the little eggs and they hatch in five days. #monarchs #wildlifephotography #macro #invertebrates 220
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Something cheery. Something not depressing. Something from nature. Looking through my photos. Perfect a sunflower with some bee behind.#garden #flowers 050

Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 13/07/2025#poetry please feel free to share as I didn’t write it, but if I did, I would be thrilled if anyone shared it 041
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Surprised to see this fifth instar monarch cat. Usually the non-native European paper wasps get them. I’m going to take this guy in so that he or she makes it to butterflydom #monarch #invertibrates #wildlifephotography #nature 050
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 13/07/2025This very new book on oceans and narrated by Sir David Attenborough is amazing as is the 99-year-old Sir David. There is a documentary also. But you have to get the book and then listen to him narrate it #books #nature #oceans #booksonbluesky 130
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 12/07/2025I just think this is pretty. Golden rod near the pond with a pearl crescent #butterfly #wildlifephotography Goldenrod is an important plant for pollinators. There are several different species that are perfect for gardens.. #gardens 020
