Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (Tyrannus forficatus)

It seems that kingbirds like this sign as a bug lookout. [ diasporasocial.net/posts/56062… ]

Had an excellent moth trap at Bath City Farm yesterday. I'll post photos of the moths tomorrow, but first here's some of the non-moths we caught. Most excitingly, a Bombardier Beetle, the first time I've ever seen one! This uncommon beetle famously ejects a noxious spray around 100 degrees C as a defensive mechanism. Also found Acorn Weevil, Birch Shieldbug & Red-legged Shieldbug

This Luna moth waited for the sun to warm her wings on a curb in a parking lot early this morning. I’m very lucky to have seen her because a Luna moth lifespan is only a week to 10 days. #moth #moths #nature #insects #wildlife

🐿️ California ground squirrels — the ones you see nibbling seeds in parks — have been caught hunting, killing, and eating voles for the first time ever documented by science.

For 12 years, researchers watched the same squirrel population in a California park. They had only ever seen them eat seeds, acorns, fruit, and the occasional insect. Then came a summer when vole numbers exploded — ten times the usual.

The squirrels didn’t hesitate. Adults and juveniles of both sexes began stalking, chasing, and pouncing on voles. They bit the necks, removed the heads, and stripped the fur before eating the meat. In one summer, scientists recorded 74 vole-kill events.

MAGA might rant about blue hair, but Trump can't handle an eagle without getting attacked. Meanwhile this queen...

#WildLife #Birds #MAGA

"I'm a rescuer for a raptor rehab, and I got the call for this guy in the middle of me dyeing my hair." Picture shows a woman in a long sleeve blue shirt and blue jeans with black hair which is partly dyed purple and partly blue. She's carrying an adult bald eagle in a grey blanket, and it's holding still looking at the camera with a WTF expression. Someone comments, "The eagle looks like he's about to say 'and I'll do it again.'"

Well it was quite the day for wildlife here in far north Queensland :)

I stayed at Etty Bay and was rewarded with a 15 min cassowary promenade passing FirstDogonTheMoon's excellent sign and also kind of doing an Abbey Road (Etty Road?)

After a drive up the very scenic ranges to Yungaburra I saw a platypus swimming around for approx 30 min. I didn't try to take photos, I just admired how they are so water adapted that with all the swimming and diving not once did I see a splash, the water just flows around them 🥰

Beaut beetle which I noticed flying and which then landed in the grass at my feet. Managed to get some reasonable shots as it moved quite slowly and let me get quite close before flying off. Seen at Glen Erin near Bowen, Qld. Canon R10 and RF100-400 lens. Hand held, natural light. ID-ed on iNaturalist as Rhipicera mystacina.

Looking up and a joint common buzzard as it flies overhead, its beak open as it calls, and swings half open as it beats them. White clouds with blue sky behind it
