@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialThis mallard is in eclipse. He moulted his pretty feathers over the summer and he's not looking to impress anyone heading into autumn. This change of colour helps him avoid predation.

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialCurious mallard checking me out.
I'm pretty sure she wanted me to feed her. Sorry lady, not today

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialToday's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Paridae, any of the species.
I love chickadees. They seem to follow me around, acting goofy the whole time.

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialTrust fall!
In September, the ruby-throated hummingbirds were posing for photos while waiting at the feeders. They eat as much as possible before their migration to central America

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialIt's that time of year... Silhouettes of geese in flight and noticing that I need to clean my sensor again! 😅

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialThrilled that I got a snap of a tiny zebra jumping spider! My kids befriended the one that lives by our door. He seems as interested in us as we are in him.

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialThe bees were hanging under some flowers this morning. Almost done with pollinator season, but I'm still seeing a few every day.

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialI love sparrows in the fall. They compliment the colours of the season so well.

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialAs winter nears there are fewer insects to observe. A warm say this week meant a sluggish tufted globetail let me take some photos. They serve double duty, pollinating and eating aphids!

This downy woodpecker was foraging among phragmites in the local park.

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialMy first encounter with a red bellied snake. They're a small woodland species native in my area.
This one was less than 10 inches long, and is about full grown!

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialRemarkably normal and common, mallards in the park have offered me unique closeness and odd angles. They spend time close by, directly under the bridges. They're the only bird I view from this angle.

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialThese bumblebees spent the night sleeping on one of my last coreopsis flowers. They're very sluggish this morning, I don't think they'll be flying around much longer.

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialThis heron flew low and fast straight at me. Both of us squawked in surprise and I barely got my camera up before it flew away.
Sadly, these branches decided to clutter my frame!

@jasonslivingroom.bsky.socialThe bold jumping spider is responsible for my mental shift from "ew creepy" to "wow fascinating".
Now I'm always looking for new spiders!
