    Bird photos—in the 15-17 years category there is an amazing pic of a bird silhouetted in an orange moon and it is just astounding! There is also one near the end with bird’s neck bent backwards to see behind. That is wild! And one where the bird built a nest in a traffic light!

      Watch the video winner—it is just…wow😳.

        Oh, thank you! I had skipped it and went back—you’re right, not to be missed. I wish they had identified the birds at the lek (mating dance). I *think* they are sharp-tailed grouse, judging from some other photos I found online, but I am very far from being a bird expert. The drumming sound is made by their feet!

          Yep, that’s them! I wondered what bird. I almost skipped the video too.😁

          Simply awe-inspiring! Those birbs know how to shake their tail feathers!

      Those pix are just stunning!

      That was my favorite.

      Also love this one; such a pretty color!

        There’s too many great ones for a favorite, but I feel this one:

          😄 I missed that one!

        • 6rabbits October 2, 2023 / 10:13 am

          The face on that mom!😂

            Those false eyelashes are WAY over the top!

      • 6rabbits October 2, 2023 / 10:14 am

        Yes! The first pic is the one I referenced!

      • DEBG October 2, 2023 / 4:32 pm

        Yeah, I wouldn’t mind a print of that one hanging in my bedroom.

        Those photos blew me away.

    As a resident of NYC for the past 73 years, I would like to point out that NYC is one of the safest cities in the country.

    • Ricky & Bibi's Mom October 2, 2023 / 8:51 am

      Same here, only 65 years—but that’s since birth, and I’m a third-generation native.

      Glad all NYC’s zoo animules and aquarium fishies were well-cared for and safe.

      • Dubravkamcvmd October 2, 2023 / 3:50 pm

        OK well I was three months old when my parents moved here with me.

        • Ricky & Bibi's Mom October 2, 2023 / 4:30 pm

          But you’ve still been here longer! Hi, neighbor!

    P.S. “In living green” — good one, Mike!

    Friendly train doggie is adorable.

  4. DEBG October 2, 2023 / 9:30 am

    Love that sunwoof doggie so much! Can’t wait to check out everything else after work.

  5. Georgiana October 2, 2023 / 10:51 am

    I love Huxley the friendly doggy.

    I miss “The Zoo,” filmed at the Bronx and other zoos in NYC.

    So many great links today. I wish Huxley was riding my train, make the commute much better. Sunwoof pic, had me cracking up. So glad Riley the kitty still gets to go on adventures. Bird photos are just gorgeous and all the photographers so talented.
