PEEENT… PEEENT… PEEENT… – at Ridgefield, CT

Cathedral Pines and Black Spruce Bog

Chaos shuffle is the only thing that’ll bring me back to play atp, always going against the same collection of perks on either side is just too stale

Also makes me think of God of War Ragnarok. GoW 2018 had puzzles and enemy mechanics that took some experimenting to figure out. In Ragnarok you can’t spend more than 30 seconds trying to solve a puzzle before your companions start shoving the answer in your face with dialogue.

When I encountered that message I googled it because I thought the crystal was too damn obvious and that the message must be for something else. Weak spots that stand out are such a common mechanic in games, I really don’t know why they felt the need to point it out.

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.

Yeah that’s what annoys me most about it, also misinforms people

This one makes me so mad lol… the amount of people that probably assume it’s real without a second thought 🫠

Behold the Small-eyed Sphinx Moth

Giant Leopard Moth

Definitely recommend it! It’s pretty easy to try, I just hang up a cotton sheet and run an extension cord to a couple of blacklights clamped to adirondack chairs sitting in front of it. Then I just go out and check what’s there every once in a while!

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.

Agreeable Tiger Moth

1st is a Dogwood Thyatirid Moth, 2nd is a White-blotched Prominent (I think), and 3rd is a Georgian Prominent.

Kinda going through a moth phase, here’s three species I photographed recently. #mothing

How bout this picture I took of a wild box turtle

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

Buggy update sounds like the perfect intro to DBD to me… pretty honest representation of what we’re all used to

Pfffttt

I think it does good to acknowledge the underlying reason why all the most prominent historical figures in ornithology are white, when today it should be ideally be pursuable anyone who has passion for it.
