This was exciting. First time seeing a wild Swan.
The first two photos I took. My camera phone is not that great. The last one though my SO took. He's letting me share it.
(⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡
His came out so good!

Some Dutch birds again

This is cheating a bit. These are from the jelly room at the Akron Zoo a few years ago.

A bit challenging not being able to flash while handholding in a dark room, but I think they came out ok.

Lol are those moon rise on sunset jellyfish .
Nice pics!! Probably look better on the wildlife thread.

Quack, quack, quack.

A young Redtail hawk.

Well I’ve got a new neighbor! Rabbits watch out!

I was thinking, that's not a rabbit, that looks like a fox!
I misread your post.

 

[Rose of Sharon]

First dark eyed junco this fall. I'm glad to see them back. The second pic is one of the hummingbirds when they were swarming. Now we are down to maybe two or three. The rest have moved on to Mexico or Central America.

A tiny brown tanker ant filling up with nectar.

A bumble bee early in the morning.

Ok no great pic but this hawk was sitting in the top of a tree about 60’ away and looked huge! It’s next to the transformer. It took off as soon as I pulled my phone out.

 

[Rose of Sharon]

Puffed up magnolia warbler and chickadee... It was cold!

 

[fishywoo]

A Murder of Crows <3
There were a lot more than I could photo.
Best two pics I could get.
Happy Halloween!
^_^

 

[Thunder_o_b]

The tiny little damselfly with big color.

And one dragonfly.

May not be considered wildlife but saw them walking today

 

[Rose of Sharon]

Big bumblebee almost had his entire body in the petunia and this yellow jacket couldn't wait for me to add fresh water to the bird bath!!!

 

[A201]

A snake in the swimming pool in November? Maybe an indicator of a warm winter or just wishful thinking.

He's just a harmless Garter snake. Actually was the second one I caught this week. Turned him loose in the field.

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Western skink juvenile I found in the garage. The terrarium has a lot more food in it (isopod colony) so I'm letting it overwinter in there Catching ants in a bottle to add in as extra chow.


It's been living in there about a month now. Not sure why I didn't post it before I

 

[Rose of Sharon]

I know this is a bad pic but that's our resident fox, if you can see him. He is so skittish that all I have to do is unlock the door and he runs away as fast as he can. No way I can get closer to get a better pic...

 

[DoubleDutch]

Lucky to have spotted two White Tailed Eagles recently

 

[Thunder_o_b]

A very small high wire act.

 

[DoubleDutch]

Nice spider keeping our house clean of bugs

 

[A201]

I'm not a big fan of spiders but I do allow the occasional Jumping Spider to live on window sills inside the house for the same reason. They kill all the other varieties of spiders & nuisance bugs.

 

[kuhlkid]

Had this beauty in the garden a couple weeks back. Her web was as tall as the rose bush she built it against. Toe to toe, I'd say she was at least 3 inches across, maybe more.

 

[Blacksheep1]

A big bird
Some very pretty moss.

sun and rain , there was a rainbow but it was kinda weak.

 

[Rose of Sharon]

First pine warbler for the season, a squirrel stuffing his face with some birdseed, a Carolina wren, and a very hard to see female ruby crowned kinglet along with a chickadee in a tree, lol!

 

[86 ssinit]

False....they drop on you from the ceiling and jump out at you when you are not expecting it. They are fine outside!

Think you may have seen 8 Legged Freaks to many times .
I too tolerate spiders. Very creepy but more good than bad.
Saw this guy yesterday. It’s getting cold! Surprised a bird hadn’t eaten it.

 

[Rose of Sharon]

The colder and darker it gets, the more vibrant they look

 

[86 ssinit]

So driving over to my sons house and stopped at a light there’s a flock of parrots in the tree in front of meanother escaped creature that has adapted to here.

 

[DoubleDutch]

Dutch birdlife again

A chickadee (I think) checking me out from the roof of our kitchen.

 

[kansas]

I saw 8 turkeys near a busy street yesterday. These were in front of my house a few winters ago.

Beautiful pictures as always

I vote sparrow, probably a house sparrow.

What the heck! Haha. A flock of parrots in NY. Who would have thought..

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Fat squirrel munching on a bitter bolete.

Hawk in the tree and than flying away from me.

Sorry but birds again.

Damsel fly on the lime tree next to the swordtail tank

 

[Thunder_o_b]

As late in the season as it is I was surprised to see a hummingbird in the yard.....

 

[Thunder_o_b]

It is the season, Merry Christmas.
We have used this as Christmas cards in the past. A shot from outside the art collage of the University of Akron, from the time I thought I would become a fine art photographer.

I may have posted this shot before, after so many years and photos it is hard to keep track.

 

[FunnyFish]

It's that time of year that I put the feeders out for the Anna's hummingbirds that stay here all year round. They have quite the personalities, and once the snow comes I've got videos in the past of 10-12 swarming me while I bring out the feeder filled with warm sugary goodness

 

[Thunder_o_b]

A tiny bee on a small flower.

 

[Rose of Sharon]

And there they are totally IGNORING the new suet cage I put out for them, lol!

 

[FunnyFish]

Well, these weren't taken today, but when living in Alberta I saw lots lots of grizzlies and bears. On the island, we have TONS of eagles. I just love watching wildlife in their natural habitat.

Tomorrow is a day off so hopefully it's nice enough to take my gear and go find some photo opportunities

 

[Thunder_o_b]

Wonderful photos there.

Kind of wildlife. A visitor in the cat's litter box. Squeekers was not happy. We let the little monster go outside.
