A #mockingbird I caught just after it took off.
Or is it a mockingbirb?
Butterfly-friendly native CA plants purchased from a local conservation group have collected a caterpillar! Looks like a Sphynx moth.
Now I just need to finish transplanting the rest of the plants into the actual ground!
#Clover. One flower out of a field.

And in related news, this confirms that @pixelfed now supports image uploads from @Tusky !
(That’s been the one thing missing from just using the Pixelfed website on my phone: it works great in a browser or as an installed PWA, but uploads can only start in the website. You can’t start with a photo gallery and share images to the site or PWA.)
Went for another hike today. I think this is the best photo from the walk.
#Birds of #MadronaMarsh. There were a zillion red-winged blackbirds, at least one group of goldfinches, some starlings, and of course the usual geese and ducks.

I saw one of these #birds fly out of a bush, across the trail, and into a tree. I stopped. I waited. I looked, but couldn’t spot it. I took another, slow, careful step. Another #sparrow flew out of the bush, across the path, and into the tree. I stopped again.
This went on for about FIVE MORE ROUNDS before a couple of them flew into another bush and stopped where I could SEE them!
Then one of them flew off while I was aiming. 🤦
Goldfinches in sunlight, house finches in silhouette. And there were a bunch of each, just at opposite ends of the park. (I suspect the glob of leaves next to the goldfinches is hiding a nest.)
#Jacaranda canopy, first #LookingUp and then from the side. In the same park as the previous shot. #trees #green #nature

Oh, cool, the Flickr post of this photo got featured on Explore!
I took so many photos of this #squirrel trying to get a good shot yesterday that I caught it blinking.
Another #FierySkipper from the first spring of the pandemic.
Looking through photos I somehow missed posting before. Here's a #FierySkipper #butterfly spotted last summer. #nature
Call your doctor if you experience double pigeon.
This Say’s Phoebe, unlike the squirrel, was kind (or unconcerned) enough to stay put while I walked around it to get both a better angle and better light. #birds #nature #SaysPhoebe
