Watching this family of doves, the elders guiding their young (three egg clutch) to forage for seed in the habitat. Extremely rewarding. #mourningdove #bird #birdfeeding #birdwatching #backyard-habitat #resistwithlove #nature #wildlifephotography
A parent bird allofeeding goes beyond simple nourishment; it is a lesson in survival, teaching vulnerable offspring how to find food for themselves. #bird #birdfeeding #birdwatching #backyard-habitat #resistwithlove #nature #wildlifephotography
California Scrub Jay takes a moment on the roof to meticulously rearrange its almonds from the daily pickup before flying off to find the perfect hiding spot. #californiascrubjay #bird #birdfeeding #birdwatching #backyard-habitat #resistwithlove #nature #Wildlifephotography

August slipped away, but the heat stuck around. Early evening and it's still 102°. #flowers #heat #butterfly #backyard-habitat #resistwithlove #nature #wildlifephotography
September is here, a gentle transition that offers the last warmth of summer by day and peaceful lengthening evenings by night. #september #bird #backyard-habitat #resistwithlove #nature #wildlifephotography
Took down the bird feeders a week ago to give the little songbirds a break. Cooper's Hawk continues making its rounds. Still, it's pretty impressive to see such a dedicated predator up close. #CoopersHawk #bird #Birdwatching #backyard-habitat #resistwithlove #nature #Naturephotography
Thank you, August 2025, for all the natural beauty. For the heat, the growth, the light and the surprises. It's been a gift. #NatureGratitude #flowers #backyard-habitat #resistwithlove #nature #Photography

With the bird feeders temporarily removed because of hawk visits, the once bustling habitat has gone quiet. The resident black phoebe seems lost without its usual flock to boss around. #blackphoebe #bird #birdwatching #backyard-habitat #resistwithlove #nature #wildlifephotography

The backyard habitat is a constant lesson in the rhythms of nature. Every photograph captures a new moment, a unique interaction, and a reminder of the subtle but significant changes occurring all around. #bird #backyard-habitat #Connectingwithnature #resistwithlove #nature #Wildlifephotography
There are over 6,000 lizard species found across the globe. Fresh water should be provided at all times for habitat lizards. #worldlizardday #lizard #backyard-habitat #wildlifephotography #BackyardNature #BackyardWildlife #Connectingwithnature #resistwithlove #nature
