Cedar waxwing!

[Suhas Malpe @suhasmalpe]

A California Classic pairing: Cedar waxwings and Toyon berries, it is a common sight during the fall and winter months. These birds are attracted to the bright red berries of the toyon shrub.

@miamorgan0001 I appreciate the kind words. Can you tell me which 3 pieces are you interested in?

[Suhas Malpe @suhasmalpe]

It's always fascinating to observe wildlife behavior! Perhaps this owl might be using the rocky area as a vantage point for foraging.

The warm sand was the best kind of bed, ever. As Pip and Puddle lied on their belly, the sun climbed higher, the sounds of the colony drifted around them, but for Pip and Puddle, the world was just a soft hum. And for now, that was all they needed...

Elephant seals are capable of diving to incredible depths, experiencing significant pressure changes. During these dives, their lungs can collapse. The mucus-like substance, appearing as white "snot", acts as an anti-adhesive, preventing their lungs from sticking together.

It wasn't a startled gaze. This was different. A quiet curiosity radiated from the doe. There was intelligence in her stare.

For a timeless moment, we were suspended in a shared stillness. Was I a threat? A curiosity? Something else entirely? As I held my breath.

Perked ears are a primary way for deer to identify potential threats in their environment. It might simply be out of curiosity.

Observe other body language cues to understand the doe's full state.

The joyful experience took a dramatic turn when I observed the eye ball of one of the bucks had popped out… I was shocked. It was a reminder about the harsh realities of survival. Nature is a force that can inflict pain and suffering, yet also inspire awe and wonder.

Young bucks with small antlers, engaged in an energetic head butting, bouncing off each other, taking turns to initiate the contact, chasing each other and the mock charges once was joyful.

As the hunter prepares for its next meal, a moment of pre-flight stretch, reveals its wild beauty as it scans the landscape.

Two barn owls, looking all fluffy and curious.

[Suhas Malpe @suhasmalpe]

Following local tips, I ventured onto a nearby marsh trail and soon found a promising nest box. The surrounding tree was littered with obvious signs: feathers, droppings, and owl pellets.

@jermide Thanks again! 🙏

The overnight mist had transformed into a thin layer of ice, clinging to the owl's feathers and highlighting the bristles. You can also see it around its facial disc.
