Barn Swallow Fledgelings Even with a long lens, I aim to give new bird parents a wide berth- but I swear, this year, bird families are insisting on setting up next to me to demand their photos be taken. These swallow parents corralled their little guys my way, and I chose to believe they chose me as their noble protectorate. (Yes, I know it was really that I was near the sunny warm spot with lots of bugs to eat). This is my second photo from the swallow visit, which actually shows remarkable restraint on my part, as I probably snapped a thousand. 😊 #swallow #fledgeling #barnswallow #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #natgeonature #vogel #oiseaux #bcbirds

Willow Flycatcher feeding Her Young A fellow bird enthusiast who was passing me on the trail commented that while it was lovely to hear the babes calling out in the trees, it would be awesome if one became visible, just for a moment. As if answering his call, out swooped the parent from one direction and the little guy from another, to feed on the bare branch in front of us for a mere moment before taking off again. I would love to borrow this guy's secret birding genie for a day. #flycatcher #willowflycatcher #birds #vogel #oiseaux #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #bcbirds #natgeo #natgeonature #birdsofpixelfed #babybirds

Sixty-two million years ago, four million years after the sky fell, a stretch of Egyptian seafloor filled with fish — and held them, perfectly, in stone. Five hundred specimens. More than twenty kinds. A petrified aquarium pulled from blistering sand at a site called Qreiya 3. The asteroid gutted the ocean's food webs, and into that emptied water the percomorphs exploded into needle-toothed predators and the ancestors of tuna and seahorses. https://twp.ai/4hs7AI #Fossils #Paleontology #Science #Egypt #Ocean #Nature #Extinction #DeepTime #NatGeo #EarthHistory #ThistleAndMoss #TheGathering

Science / the fossils 62 million years ago, 4 million years after the asteroid, a stretch of Egyptian seafloor filled with fish — and held them in stone. 500 specimens. Paleontologist Sanaa El-Sayed pulled them from blistering desert, closing a ten-million-year hole in how life rebuilds after catastrophe. https://twp.ai/4hs7C2 #Science #Paleontology #Fossils #Egypt #Extinction #Ocean #Climate #NatGeo #ThistleAndMoss #TheGathering
