Welcome to the prairies! In my day job I'm a microbiology prof @hilllabsask.bsky.social, but weekends are for the birds (literally)

I would be too. Just for fun when the summer gets hot I play the game of “Does anyone remember winter?”

Great shot. Had so much fun on the weekend doing a prairie pothole tour. Water!

Sure it's July, but romance season continues for the Best Ducks. Three stages of a ruddy duck display:
1. Pose with stiff tail
2. Make bubbles by smacking your fabulous blue bill on your chest
3. QUACK!

Just wanted to give a shoutout to all the bird and nature photographers I follow. Not only are your photos fantastic but it’s so nice to have a space where if I’m feeling a bit glum, I can just open an app and BAM! There’s a picture of a good little guy! You rule, keep on doing what you do!

It was quite the high wire act and what you can’t see is that there were several others on the same fence wire. Chaos!
