Red-bellied Woodpecker

Nature is an antidote that has the power to overcome darkness...seemingly crafted carefully for this purpose.

I am honestly surprised how much I have been reading. Holy Moly.

The Power of Family and This Stalker I Found by JackHawksmoor (Batfam, WIP. An AU were Bruce found Jason after he was resurrected, and Tim joins the family. Also, Tim knows about them being vigilantes, but the fam doesn’t know that he knows, so shenanigans ensue.)

Everything Will Be Just Fine by lonelynpc (Batfam, WIP. More goth dad Battinson)

always an angel never a god by Arwriter (Batfam, complete. Trigger warning for suicide attempt. Jason gets hurt, and Bruce talks to him about his concerns. Much hurt/comfort ensue.)

Unbelievable by BoredomBeckons (Superbat? Kinda? They are at least good friends :) Complete. Bruce’s persona is a bit too good. Clark thinks Batman is joking when he tells him his secret identity. Shenanigans ensue.)

WE’LL SWIM WITH THE CURRENT. by orpheusaki (Batfam, complete. Mermaid AU. Bruce carries baby mermaid Jason. It’s super adorable.)

the color violet by TheResurrectionist (Batfam, complete. Slice of life. From the point of view of a EMT. Newly warded (is that a word? it is now) Dick gets hurt, and New Dad Bruce deals with it.)

I was in a candy mood, so I got the snickers latte with my croissant.

There is a pond next to were I work, and it is common for us employees to take a walk around it during lunch. I always see so many cool birds, and I’ve been itching to bring my nice camera there to get some good pictures. The only time I’ve willingly come to work on the weekend, and it’s for some birds, lol.

I FINALLY GOT A GOOD PICTURE OF A BLUE HERON!!!

Also look at this little guy! A robin! And he caught himself some breakfast!!

The whole geese family!!

BABIES

MORE BABIES

I’VE BEEN DETECTED

Grackle!

Green Heron! I’ve only ever seen the big blue guy, so it was excited to see this little green guy!

I was so excited when I got this picture, because I only see them when they’re flying! It’s a barn swallow! For a while, I couldn’t figure out what kind of swallow where flying around the ponds. I thought they were probably barn swallows because of the red bellies and necks, so I’m super happy I got this picture to confirm my suspicions!

I also saw some new birds at the arboretum, along with the usual suspects :)

A male and female wood duck:

I had no idea what this guy was until I got home to examine the pictures, but it’s a yellow-billed cuckoo!

A red-bellied woodpecker:

I crossed paths with another birder when I was walking, and he let me know that there was an owl in the area I was coming up to! I was so happy I was able to spot him. A barred owl:

I have been trying to get a picture of this little guy for a while. An Acadian flycatcher:

PHOTOGRAPHER SPOTTED. AGAIN.

Tree swallow!

a cute little white-breasted nuthatch!

A BEEEEEEEE:

I just really like this view:

Pretty flowers!

Lily pads!

More flowers!

I also have tomorrow off because of the holidays, so don’t be surprised if you see another post from me with more birds!

Sunday Birding 7/9/23

So many good birds I saw Sunday! I might have gone a little bit overboard with taking pictures. When I uploaded them to my computer, I had 1152. That’s the most I’ve ever taken! But again, I saw sooooooo many good birds!!

There were a BUNCH of juvenile green herons out!

The brown thrasher was so nice and posed for me in a tree:

a male goldfinch! the first of many Sunday:

a male red-winged black bird, taking a walk:

there was actually a whole family of them out!

BARN SWALLOW IN FLIGHT:

Canadian geese!

And the goslings are looking so much like adults now:

at the arboretum, the first bird I saw was a tufted titmouse:

another male goldfinch:

also, his wife (she was a bit camera shy, lol):

a neat bug:

BEEEEEEEEEEE:

A male cardinal, singing his song:

A red-shouldered hawk! I think they were being harassed by the cardinals:

I was able to get this neat shot of them flying away!

an eastern bluebird! Male, I think:

The goldfinches again! I thought this was a neat shot!

Some brown-headed cow birds, perched high in a tree:

this carolina wren was easy to hear, but tricky to find:

an indigo bunting hanging out at the top of a tree:

PHOTOGRAPHER DETECTED (carolina wren again):

The female eastern bluebird:

A downy woodpecker (male, I think), getting a snack:

A female red-bellied woodpecker:

Another titmouse, grabbing a seed to eat:

Another indigo bunting! He looks so dramatic with this lighting:

A tiny black-capped chickadee!

I wasn’t entirely sure what this guy was when I snapped this picture of them soaring around. When I got home, I was able to ID them. A Mississippi kite!

Some pretty flowers:

Some more bees:

Butterflies!

Turtles!! Ngl, I really like the flat guy:

I might have freaked out when I saw these guys, but I FINALLY got some good pictures of ruby-throated hummingbirds! There was a group of them at a feeder I got a lot of pictures of these guys, so I might make some separate posts with these pictures. Here are a few of my favorites:

“GO AWAY GARY, NO ONE LIKES YOU.” >:(

Some more flowers:

YOU GUYS. THIS WAS MY FAVORITE PICTURE OF THE DAY:

Another butterfly:

And the final pictures, some water lilies! I just think they’re pretty:

I heard a chirp that wasn’t familiar and discovered a Red-bellied woodpecker!

*Supposedly, they like to dine on the Lanternfly, but I don’t know if that also applies to their eggs. If it does, this bird won’t go hungry anytime soon.

World Wildlife Day

The World is full of amazing creatures from every possible medium. From the birds of the air to the majestic whales of the sea, wildlife abounds in the most unusual and unexpected places. Wildlife benefits us in many ways and has since timed out of mind. World Wildlife Day is a day to remind us of our responsibilities to our world and the lifeforms we share it with.

Even though we might like to think so sometimes, humans aren’t the only living things on Earth. In fact, we’re far outnumbered by other living things, from animals and plants to fungi and bacteria. Wildlife isn’t just something that we passively observe; it’s part of our world, and something we need to care for. World Wildlife Day is your chance to celebrate all wildlife, from the smallest insect to blue whales. No matter what you love about wildlife, you can spend the day taking action to help protect it.

This day is all about raising awareness of wild flora and fauna across the world. Whether you love animals, you’re passionate about plants, or you’re concerned about climate change, it’s the day that you can use to educate yourself or others. You can celebrate the incredible biodiversity across the world and perhaps get out there to explore the huge range of flora and fauna the world has to offer. Celebrating World Wildlife Day is a must for anyone who loves our planet.

History of World Wildlife Day

On March 3rd, 1973 the United Nations General Assembly took a stand to protect Endangered Species throughout the world. Whether plant or animal, the importance of these species in every area of human life, from culinary to medical, could not be understated. At this time hundreds of endangered species were being threatened every year, and extinction was at a staggeringly high rate. CITES was put into place (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) to ensure that the world did not continue to hemorrhage species that would never be seen from again.

On December 20th, 2013 another step was taken to help spread awareness of the fragility of endangered species in the world. At its 68th session, the UN declared that each year World Wildlife Day would be dedicated to a new purpose and idea to help keep people abreast of the changing nature of our world, and the treasures we stand to lose from the animal and plant kingdom if we don’t take care.

Sometimes the day highlights an endangered animal or group of animals, while in other years, it has focused on a specific issue affecting the world of wildlife. Previous themes have included getting serious about wildlife crime and listening to young voices. World Wildlife Day is implemented by the CITES Secretariat, working together with relevant UN organizations. The day might not have been around for long compared to some others, but it’s already made a big impact. If you are passionate about the Earth and everything on it, celebrating is a must.

World Wildlife Day Timeline

1900 First wildlife conservation act is passed in the US

The Lacey Game and Wild Birds Preservation and Disposition Act is passed by Congress, which is the first legislation of its kind in the United States.

1948 International Union for Conservation of Nature begins

This is the first effort toward conservation that is supported by governments and societal organizations globally and its purpose is to encourage cooperation and the sharing of resources regarding conservation.

1961 World Wildlife Federation is established

A group of individuals who are passionate about protecting endangered species and places bands together to secure funding to this end.

1973 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species

Negotiated in Washington DC, CITES is an international agreement between governments to protect the survival of various wild species by ensuring that trade does not threaten them. The signing takes place on March 3.

2013 First World Wildlife Day is celebrated

At its 68th session, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) declares March 3 as the day to raise awareness and and celebrate the wild animals all over the world.

How to Celebrate World Wildlife Day

You can celebrate World Wildlife Day on your own or with others, whether you just want to spend some time contemplating the majesty of nature or you want to spread the word about just how amazing the world’s wildlife is and how we can protect it.

The first thing that always comes to mind when we think about World Wildlife Day is heading out to our local zoo or botanical conservatory and reminding ourselves of the vast variety of life our world offers. If you have children, this can be one of the best ways to really introduce them to the wonders of the animal and plant kingdom. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, an outdoor excursion with a book of local flora and fauna (That’s plants and animals) can help make that connection come even closer to home.

You could also spend the day spreading the word about the importance of our wildlife. If you love our planet, what better way to celebrate everything on it than to encourage other people to care about it too? You might create an event, get people to sponsor you or create some education materials. Choose a cause that matters to you, whether it is a local one or an international wildlife issue that you want to highlight.

Another way you can get involved is finding out what this year’s theme is by stopping by www.wildlifeday.org and finding ways to get involved. The website has a map of events that you can search to discover things to do near you, or you could add your own event to encourage others to get involved too. You can find a range of useful materials on the site too, including posters, logos, a social media kit, and a special action card that you can use to take photos. You can find suggestions for World Wildlife Day hashtags to use on social media or any materials that you create for your event too. Some of their suggestions for getting involved include running a competition, engaging with influencers, celebrities and politicians, and showing your appreciation for those who help to conserve wildlife every day.

There are few things as important as making sure that the world’s biosphere remains healthy, every time we lose a plant or animal, we have no way of knowing if a cure for a disease or some new medical breakthrough was lost with them. World Wildlife Day is your opportunity to do your part in preserving our world.
