Good morning 🍂🍂🍂

I'm able to get started a little early this morning thanks to my pals, Ben and Charlie. 😅

Ryuta Ogawa, Japan.

A baby green sea turtle photographed at the Ogasawara Islands, Japan. "The baby turtles born on the islands have to migrate more than 1000km north to their feeding habitat," says photographer Ryuta Ogawa. "I came across this hatchling in the shallows.

It almost looked as if it was calmly preparing for its long journey ahead. I waited for the moment it surfaced for a breath of air to get this particular shot."

2021: I'll put the old #Christmas tree into the garden waste bin for recycling.

2022: I'll chop the old Christmas tree up and burn it to help keep the kitchen warm.

Dark-eyed Junco

"Dark-eyed Juncos are neat, even flashy little sparrows that flit about forest floors of the western mountains and Canada, then flood the rest of North America for winter. They’re easy to recognize by their crisp (though extremely variable) markings and the bright white tail feathers they habitually flash in flight. Dark-eyed Juncos are among the most abundant forest birds of North America." - allaboutbirds.org

Chipping Sparrow

This photo isn't as clear as I would like it to be, there was a lot of noise. But look at the haircut on this bird.

"The oldest recorded Chipping Sparrow was at least 10 years, 11 months old when it was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Ontario in 1998. It was banded in the same province in 1987." - allaboutbirds.org
