My first migratory Sandpiper shot of the season.
Baird's Sandpipers breed on Arctic coasts and islands from Greenland to Siberia. They winter in west South America in Ecuador. Peru, Chile and Argentina. Their migratory routes pass through much of western Canada and the US.

This is a lamellophone instrument played with the performer's mouth and plucked with a finger to create a sound
First seen in China already in the 4th century B.C, which classifies it as one of the oldest instruments.
Guess what it is?.

A rare sighting of a Harris's Sparrow (Immature) at Hulls Gulch, Boise, Idaho
The Harris's Sparrow is the only North American songbird that breeds in Canada and nowhere else in the world.
The Harris's Sparrow was named after Edward Harris, a friend of John J. Audubon, who collected a specimen in 1843. Audubon eagerly named the specimen thinking he was the first person to do so. Little did he know that Thomas Nuttall collected the bird first in 1834 and named it "Mourning Finch."
I have no idea what they make at this place, but my thought was some up-sized moonshine distillery, or a meth lab. I think this was someplace between Raton and Las Vegas, New Mexico. For sure I-25 and northern New Mexico. I've kept a journal since 2009 with date, odometer, and nearest town. So for a picture like this that was taken in 2012, by the date & time of day it was taken, I can usually figure out roughly where I took the picture.
Forster's Tern.

Cooper's hawk on the hunt. It landed here just for a second or two before taking off again in pursuit of its next meal. I was lucky to be looking in that direction or I never would have seen it. All very silent.
Temminck's stint is a small wader. This bird's common name and Latin binomial commemorate the Dutch naturalist Coenraad Jacob Temminck. The genus name is from Ancient Greek kalidris or skalidris, a term used by Aristotle for some grey-coloured waterside birds.

On winter’s margin, see the small birds now with half-forged memories come flocking home to gardens famous for their charity.
The green globe’s broken; vines like tangled veins hang at the entrance to the silent wood.
With half a loaf, I am the prince of crumbs;
By snow’s down, the birds amassed will sing like children for their sire to walk abroad!
But what I love, is the gray stubborn hawk who floats alone beyond the frozen vines;
And what I dream of are the patient deer who stand on legs like reeds and drink that wind; -
They are what saves the world: who choose to grow thin to a starting point beyond this squalor. - Mary Oliver

The Meller's chameleon, sometimes called the giant one-horned chameleon, is mainland Africa's largest chameleon species. This bright green and yellow lizard grows to lengths of 2 to 2 1/2 feet (61 to 76 centimeters). Like all chameleons, its eyes can move independently.

I found this fellow today in some difficult, low light conditions. I believe I have the ID correct on him as a Hermit Thrush, though Google Lens keeps pointing to a Swainson's Thrush. The latter would be a lifer for me, but I think it's a Hermit. Correct me if I am mistaken. Thrushes look so much alike.
Thanks for Viewing.
Bennett’s Millpond, Edenton, North Carolina. It’s a beautiful place, but I’m not sure it’s safe. One fisherman who was there carried a gun because of all the water snakes around! Another couple who was there fishing said they didn’t go there much because they didn’t want any trouble! But right here, you may see it from the safety of your own living room. *Explore No. 157, June 16, 2016

Anna’s Hummingbirds are among the most common hummingbirds along the Pacific Coast, yet they're anything but common in appearance. With their iridescent emerald feathers and sparkling rose-pink throats, they are more like flying jewelry than birds. Though no larger than a ping-pong ball and no heavier than a nickel, Anna’s Hummingbirds make a strong impression. In their thrilling courtship displays, males climb up to 130 feet into the air and then swoop to the ground with a curious burst of noise that they produce through their tail feathers.
Anna's Hummingbirds normally have a body temperature of around 107 degrees Fahrenheit—that's a scorching temperature for a human. When outside temperatures fall, Anna's and many other species of hummingbirds enter torpor. Their breathing and heart rate slow, and their body temperature can fall as low as 48 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature warms, the hummingbirds can become active again in a few minutes.

We started out March with a trip out to the Big Thicket national reserve to look for the elusive Bachman’s Sparrow. It was a very early morning but the loss of sleep was worth it when we got to see this little beauty singing away in the early morning light.

For the past four years, a male Barrow's Goldeneye has come to this small urban lake as soon as the ice melts away from the shoreline just like the Common Goldeneye do. This is unusual though since central Alberta is not within the normal breeding range for a Barrow's Gldeneye. It is probably the same male because the migration and mating path is so specific.
Since there are no female Barrow's Goldeneye available, it mates with a female Common Goldeneye each year. This is not rare where the ranges overlap, but something unique to observe here.

Anna’s Hummingbirds are common in urban and suburban settings as well as wilder places such as chaparral, coastal scrub, oak savannahs, and open woodland. They are notably common around eucalyptus trees, even though eucalyptus was only introduced to the West Coast in the mid-nineteenth century.
Anna’s Hummingbirds eat nectar from many flowering plants, including currant, gooseberry, manzanita, and many introduced species such as eucalyptus. They also eat a wide array of insects from understory leaves, crevices, streambanks, or caught in spider webs, plucked from the air, or taken from flowers.
Primarily they target smaller insects, like midges, whiteflies, and leaf hoppers (one female was found with 32 leafhoppers in her stomach at once). They also help themselves to tree sap (and insects caught in it) leaking out from holes made by sapsuckers.

A couple of shots from a trip to Land's End Last week. The sunset was a bit of a bust but got some nice moody shots.
Runoff at Yellowstone's Firehole Spring on it's way to the Firehole River. The mix of colors and textures fascinate and captivate me. I spent a few years as a microbiologist/chemist long ago. The small world is a mind bender.
More examples in comments.
"The hydrothermal features of Yellowstone are magnificent evidence of Earth’s volcanic activity. Amazingly, they are also habitats in which microscopic organisms called thermophiles—“thermo” for heat, “phile” for lover—survive and thrive."
ps: I like it when you call me Phil.
"Species, unseen to the human eye, thrive in waters as acidic as the liquid in your car battery and hot enough to blister your skin. Some create layers that look like molten wax on the surface of steaming alkaline pools. Still others, apparent to us through the odors they create, exist only in murky, sulfuric caldrons that stink worse than rotten eggs.
Today, many scientists study Yellowstone’s thermophiles. Some of these microbes are similar to the first life forms capable of photosynthesis—the process of using sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide to oxygen, sugars, and other by-products. These life forms, called cyanobacteria, began to create an atmosphere that would eventually support human life. Cyanobacteria are found in some of the colorful mats and streamers of Yellowstone’s hot springs." nps.gov

Still in the aloe patch at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, an Allen's samples the nectar. Do you think she might be pregnant? Do you think she might be Rufous (notched tail)?
This photo of Paterson's Curse was taken in the Flinders Ranges National Park in South Australia.
It is a weed that reduces pasture productivity and is toxic to livestock as it causes reduced weight and, in severe cases, death due to liver damage.
It can also kill horses and irritate the udders of dairy cows and the skin of humans.
It is native to western, southern and southwest Europe and has been introduced into Australia, South Africa and the US.
In Australia it is known as Paterson's Curse and is supposedly named after the Paterson family of Cumberoona, New South Wales, who planted it in their garden in the 1880s.
It is also known as Salvation Jane, Blueweed, Lady Campbell weed and Riverina Bluebell.
