Got to spend some time with this cute little nubbin this morning: Harbor Seal, Corte Madera Creek, #Marin #California #MarineMammal
A Harbor Seal in still waters of Corte Madera Creek. Its head is just above the water, as it swims left to right. The reeds make interesting stripes reflections across the water.

The harbinger of spring, the 🪶Red-winged Blackbird. It’s always a bit sad to see them flocking up and leaving at this time of year.

Common Gallinule for the #BirdOfTheDay theme #Black&Red 🪶📷

A photograph of a Common Gallinule perched amongst thin stems with its wings fully spread, framed within a clean white border. Facing right in profile, the dark slate-grey waterbird features a bright red frontal shield and bill tipped with yellow, a white stripe along its flank, and patterned brownish-grey wing feathers, set against a soft-focus muted green background.

Another look at the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak.
#Grosbeaks #Red&Black #BirdOfTheDay #nature #wildlife #photography 🪶
A Rose-Breasted Grosbeak perches in front of a blurred green background. He’s looking to be in fine fiddle with a bright eye and exceptionally clean beak. He’s turned back toward us as if wishing to show off the fullness of his red breast.

The look of love. 🥰 A pair of Puffins on Skomer Island gazing into each other's eyes.* #Plumescrolling #Birds #Nature #WildlifePhotography #UKWildlife 🌿

* Or engaged in a staring contest and waiting to see who will blink first. 😉
Photo of two Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) standing on a ledge, looking at each other. The Puffin on the left has their back to us, and their head turned to the right. The Puffin on the right is standing with their right side towards us, and their head turned so that we see their full face. The birds have black backs, wings, tails and necks, with the tops of their heads also black while the sides of their faces are white. Their eyes are black with orange rims, and their legs and webbed feet are orange. Their colourful beaks are narrow when seen from the front, triangular in shape seen from the side. The base of the beak has a a large patch of blue-grey enclosed within a pale yellow border, while the rest of the beak is red with a couple of pale yellow stripes.
