Crescent moon. Heavy fog. Bright lights. This is my 10-month (so far) biodiversity project where I am documenting the moth species in the forest around my house and forest restoration project. 1200+ species do far. #biodiversity #moths #restoration #nature #birds

I finally bought a video editor and am trying to work on some of my videos from Colombia. This is a crested bobwhite with a handheld zoom at 500 mm. It's not bad but the file limitation of 50 mb on bluesky really limits the length and resolution. #birds #birding #nature #birdphotography
