"I found that penguins differed in their reactions to being hoisted between human legs. Some were calm, mildly befuddled at how they got a foot off the ground. Others acted as if they were possessed, squirming and slapping and biting. Penguins are beefy birds, sleek bullets of swimming muscle, torpedoes of power, and they slapped impressively hard."

What It’s Like to Live on Antarctica and Study Penguins As a Scientist

How I came to feel at home in what some call the last wilderness on Earth—Antarctica.

Hi Mastodon. I'm Mick, a wildlife guide based in Granada region of #Spain. I'm looking forward to connect with fellow birders, botanists & entomologists throughout the Fediverse.

Regularly out in the countryside of Andalucia & further afield posting info & images about my adventures & encounters with the natural world.

Here's a photo of a close encounter with Iberian Lynx I took a few years ago.

Also this Tuesday morning up at Whiskeytown, a Steller's Jay combing the moss on an oak tree for stashed acorns.

The number 1 rule of photography is to capture the things that give you joy. I went to the lake tonight, I missed the best light and thought I wouldn't get anything good. But it was warm, and peaceful and as the sun sank the water turned pink and the pied stilts came across the shore right in front of me and I thought it was beautiful so I took some photos of them and their reflections. I've had to apply some serious de-noising as these photos were taken in the almost dark and I've also taken the liberty of removing some little black splodges that were marring the mirror perfect water. I think these give a good FEEL of the serenity of the moment, although obviously I can't capture the whole experience of sunset outdoors on an unseasonably warm Autumn night. #birds #birdphotography
A pied stilt and it's reflection - the stilt is facing the camera and it's legs merge into those of the reflection and just go on forever and ever with a little teeny chubby body on either end.
A pied stilt hunting through a pink hued sunset lake. There are a few drops of water falling from it's bill and it's red legs make crazy geometric shapes with their own reflections.

Ok I'll post the aurora photos soon, but look at this photo!

A Heron tries to fish under the auroral glow.

#aurora #heron #birds #moon

a bay at night. the whole scene is lit by a faint green glow from the aurora. in the horizon, the crescent moon sets behind the mountains. the moonlight reflects off the surface of the water, and in the middle of it, the silhouette of a heron is visible

an iridescent blue purple bird with wings spread wide and little feet tucked up into their body. they are facing the camera and have their head to the side so their shiny eye is visible. every feather in their wings and tail are spread wide as they hover in the air next to a martin house where the tail of another martin is visible. they are in front of an out of focus bright green background

I love how France has both so many birds and also so many wind farms. We can build sustainable solutions that support powering our economy and a also wildlife.

Be ungovernable, like birds who make nests OUT OF ANTI-BIRD SPIKES. A new study describes resourceful Dutch & Belgian corvids besting evil architecture by stealing metal anti-bird strips and using them like thorny twigs, to construct their homes.

Like thorns, the spikes may protect their nests from predators.

Lead author Auke-Florian Hiemstra wrote an epic 🧵 about his research that's worth a read: twitter.com/AukeFlorian/status…

There is a feather out of place.

I like the way the crest looks on this female northern cardinal. I didn't notice the odd feather on the wing until I started processing the photograph. It makes me wonder if something happened or did, I just catch her before her all fixed up for the day. A fun thing about spring is everything turns green, a really nice background for bird photos.

This is a female northern cardinal. She is standing on some brick pavers that I put down years ago to define my bird feeder area in the middle of the yard. Some of the rough brick color and texture is visible through the green grass. The background of this picture is mostly very green grass. The cardinal is facing right with her right side facing the camera. The cardinal's crest i very prominent and pretty. A dark purple front edge sticks straight up from the top of her thick conical orange beak. The crest tapers like a fan to the back of her head and the color quickly fades from the dark front edge to orange, then gets lighter until it blends with her light brownish orange face and body. There is a black ring that circles her beak, and her black eye appears to stare forward. Her right wing, that lays neatly against her body, is a mixture of orange and black, but there appears to be a purplish feather out of place at the shoulder. Her orangish tail sticks straight back parallel with the ground. Pink legs reach down to feet that are hidden by grass.

Like this hummingbird, I can see the weekend from here, and it is bright and warm and shining with potential. Hope you have something awesome planned. My agenda is to read a thick book. What's yours?

This wee cuteness was captured in Tucson, Arizona, in September. #hummingbird #Wildlife #birds #NaturePhotography #nature
