Owl families are amazing. Both parents put considerable effort into raising the babies and families stick together for months after leaving the nest. This fledgling Barred Owl was perched on a low branch. They curiously bob and tilt their heads to look around and judge distances.

Still having a great time attracting different moth species to my porch. This visitor is a Pearly Wood Nymph. Check out the close up of the colorful overlapping scales of chitin on its wing! So stunning and velvety looking.

The American Woodcock is a primarily nocturnal sandpiper that lives in young forests next to open habitats like meadows. The best time to observe them is often at dawn or dusk in early spring, when they perform a unique courtship ritual.

The toad will see you now. Step into his abode, but be sure to bow before you address him.

Barred Owls tend to be a bit more active during the day compared to other more strictly nocturnal species. This one hunted from this low branch a while and then coughed up a pellet!

I never thought I would see this let alone be able to document it. Death is coming and the mother Osprey has no clue. She is too busy preening her chest. What do you think happens next?

If you were a fish, would you rather be swallowed whole by a Great Blue Heron or whisked away by an Osprey? – at Ridgefield, CT

Family portrait! Great horned owl visits her owlets at dusk. Was lucky for all of them to look my way in just one photo of many taken. Shortly after, mama went in to feed herself & the babies. Delayed post. Owlets have fledged. (Queens, New York) #birdwatching #wildlife #nature

Beavers were highly active weekend, and these photos I took inspired me to learn more ab them! They are a rare example of a socially monogamous mammal which mates for life. They live in colonies, and parents share the lodge with their offspring until they are about 2 years old! – at Ridgefield, CT
