Lots of warbler chatter today, but not many sightings. I did have this lovable knucklehead commenting from the sidelines though. "Uh-huh, I see you talking, catbird. Who gives you peanut suet?"

And here's my #timelapse of the kingfisher painting for @Laszlo !
This is my very first timelapse and quite a big step for me, because up until now I've been very insecure about my work process, thinking it was "not good enough". I'm done with that kind of nonsensical thinking...
This is a 1 minute timelapse of the 3 hours and 27 minutes I spend painting over a course of three sessions.

A nice day just relaxing out in the lower 40 and waiting to see who shows up. #SpringMigration

Mood. My garden loves the rain, though. #BirdsOfMastodon #Birds

Feed me!

#Coot chicks are beautiful in their own way.
They differ visually from their parents like the caterpillar from the butterfly...

Personally, I think they are aliens that can be raised like a cuckoo by the #coots and then faithlessly fly away with their flying saucer.

One of the most handsome warblers of spring migration just out here defying gravity.

First of the year ant-mimic jumping spider. I am holding the stem of the plant the spider is on - it shows that this spider is truly ant sized! #macro #macrophotography #ants
