For #WaderWednesday another Collared Pratincole as it sweeps through the wetlands, gulping down bugs. They must have left us on migration, as I haven't heard or seen them for a week. #birds #ElHondo

A bird that is brown on its back and top of the wings, flies above the water in a wetland. The background is green reeds out of focus. It has a thin black collar that runs from eye to eye, below the chin, thus the name. The base of its short bill is red and its belly is white (unseen). We are looking at the bird from the side and above it.

🐸Banded bullfrog (Kaloula pulchra). Max. size 75 mm (3"). Females tend to be slightly larger than males. Found in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Singapore, Thailand, Viet Nam. Considered Least Concern by the IUCN. 📷by josch13 on Pixabay

A frog sitting on a shiny surface. It is looking to the left in the picture. It is a very dark brown. An orangey stripe runs from just above the nostril, over the top of the eye and down the upper part of its side. Though not visible in the picture, it does of course have a similar stripe on the other side of its body.

This tree smells like vanilla...🌿 ...I checked. Happy #ThickTrunkThursday! 🤘😶‍🌫️ #TreeHuggers #SaveTheTrees #GetOutThere #GreenTherapy

A beautiful Pinus ...ponderosa, aka Ponderosa Pine enjoys the sunlight. Ponderosa pines emit a distinct scent, most noticeable on their mature, orange bark, that is often described as vanilla or butterscotch, and this aroma comes from terpenes in the bark that are activated by warmth from the sun. The scent is more potent on warm, sunlit days. Now you know.

🌧️🌵Rain clouds and cooler temps meant a sweet hike in the high desert, what I affectionately call the cholla patch. Met some birbs; Turkey Vultures, a friendly Thrasher, and a miracle fly-by from a juvie Anna's, but no Wrens, which left me sad faced. 🫤 Today's #birding, and #hiking! 🪶🌿 #Photography

A cloudburst dumps rain a short distance away in the high Mojave Desert with blue sky above on our hike after work today. Don't strain your eyes looking for Turkey Vultures yet, I'm saving those for a separate skeet. A fresh looking, as in young, Curve-billed Thrasher checks us out. The peashooter notoriously doesn't do BIFs but we gave it a shot anyway with a sparkly juvenile Anna's that buzzed both of us. And I tilted my camera for a nice look at the Peacock Mountains getting drenched by the clouds rolling to the east. Thanks for looking!
