Stunning, mysterious and diverse – Australia’s 1700 orchids are the jewels of the country’s flowering plants.

Not only are Australia’s orchids unique in their beauty, they also possess diverse qualities – greenhoods flower in winter and trap unsuspecting fungal gnats to pollinate themselves, while sun orchids have numerous flowers that only open on sunny days.

Oh, another roadblock. Guess I'll just wait and take some photos.

In the last 125 years, bobcats have recovered significantly from extremely low numbers, with several million individuals found throughout North America today.

Bobcats help reduce the spread of diseases from animals to humans partly because they and other large mammals are poor disease vectors. Bobcats also prey on the small rodents that easily transmit pathogens.

Bobcats are back, and they’re helping protect people from zoonotic disease

A bobcat, with its characteristic reddish fur and black markings, trots across a snow-covered field in central Oregon, in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, hunting birds at the Warm Springs National Fish Hatchery.

Sharing a few favorites before my social media break that starts Nov 26. I'll be posting a few wood duck photos throughout the day.

I really like this one as this male was swimming gently enough to capture a nearly perfect reflection.

A male wood duck slowly swimming in water so still that you can see the reflection of the duck which has a green head, red eyes and a multi colored bill.

A contemplative moment with a new friend as we consider crossing a bike path to get to the freshwater marsh on the other side.

(I may have helped in escorting… um, carrying it across. 🤗)

#Wildlife #Frogs #Amphibians

A Green Frog, approximately 4inches in length sits stoically on the very far edge of a bike path. It has just come from an expansive marsh and is preparing to cross the path to where the marsh continues. The front part of its body is a mossy green color while it is sandy tan in the rear. Moss is breaking through the concrete of the path.

I had the immense pleasure and honor of seeing a #GiantPacificOctopus in the south Salish Sea today. #octopus #pnw #PugetSound #SalishSea #nature #wildlife
A large giant pacific octopus rests in clear water with rocks and barnacles. Its coloration is pinky. A small bit of the boardwalk covered in moss or lichen can be seen.

A tricolored heron getting ready to strike its prey. I've been revisiting older photos on my memory cards.

I'm not sure why I dismissed the photo when I took it. I like the composition of the blue water, wingspan and reflection.

Do you ever go back and look at older photos?

A tri-colored heron with its wings partially open stands gracefully in shallow water, casting a clear reflection on the surface. The tranquil setting highlights the symmetry between the bird and its mirror image.

From Stephen King’s “Salem’s Lot” to Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” to H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Dunwich Horror”, whip-poor-wills have often been a dark omen that haunted classic American #horror #fiction.

But as the birds’ populations have declined by a horrifying 70%, they’re also seeing a near-extinction in books and movies:

The whip-poor-will has been an omen of death for centuries − what happened to this iconic bird of American horror?

A new film adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘Salem’s Lot’ swaps in an owl for the book’s haunting whip-poor-wills, showing how species loss is also tied into cultural loss.
