Today, I treasured a few serene moments with a flock of juvenile Semipalmated Sandpipers. Barely a month old and fresh out of the Arctic, there’s a good chance I’m the first human this bird has ever seen - hence this intimate moment. #shorebirds #avespla… https://t.co/NLVqr5MesN

Easy to see why phoebes are my favorite. Enjoyed running into this roaming hatch-year on a mullein stalk yesterday. Still with its youthful gummy gape, loosely textured body feathers, and cinnamon wing bars. #manometsummer2020 @manometcenter https://t.co/AbVWHL8Ijt

This is the ideal river, you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.

More Wood River critters, this time the Appalachian Brown. I saw quite a few of these wetland butterflies in the marshy riverside vegetation. Such sharp eyespots. #lepidoptera #inaturalist #rhodeislandwildlife https://t.co/71NX5h7GhL

Big hoss. This bullfrog hangs out at the small pond in the middle of #SwanPointCemetery. Makes me wonder two things... how old are you and what does it take to keep you fed... #bullfrog #lithobatescatesbeianus https://t.co/Gbf1tosTTE

Those aren’t birds! They are Gray Seals resting in classic “bottling” style. A typical summer high tide scene off the bluff at @manometcenter. #marinemammals #grayseal #manometspring2020 https://t.co/mts1VDsBR6

While many of our eastern forests are recovering from rampant deforestation, they’ve got a long way still to go. I was reminded of this by this giant white oak, a relic of a bygone age in the beautiful maturing woods of Arcadia Management Area. #easternd… https://t.co/5Lw0w3IS3i

A male Ebony Jewelwing. This broad-winged damselfly was delightfully plentiful yesterday along the edges of the Moosup River floodplain in westernmost Rhode Island. A jewel in every sense. #ebonyjewelwing #calopteryx https://t.co/UY6BZftftI

Gotta love the contrast on this tyrant. Taking a break from battling the Red-wings for the top perch. #manometspring2020 @manometcenter #easternkingbird #tyrannustyrannus https://t.co/CAn3nF14qw

This summer was supposed to be the last chance to study birds in the Arctic Refuge before oil development began. But COVID-19 has put the research on hold—and drilling the pristine landscape may be up in the air, too: https://t.co/1jjiXXtEcX @BurOak5
