Male Northern Cardinal

My dream came true. I found this at Disney yesterday.

I love eating ice cream next to a fire. It’s like a race, you know? A race against time.

Setophaga petechia - Yellow Warbler

This is honestly one of the cutest birds in the world.

I think this is an Eastern Ringtail. It was found on August 5th, at the Shenandoah River State Park in Virginia. What a neat bug!

Passerina cyanea - Indigo Bunting

It’s his first summer.

Weird bird dream

Okay, so, I had a really weird dream last night that kinda turned into a nightmare. It was morning, and I woke up to the sound of a huge flock of starlings, so I got up and looked out the window and, as suspected, there was a huge flock of starlings, but then it just kept getting bigger until the sky was covered in birds. It wasn't just starlings anymore, it was crazy. The world got really dark, but once the birds passed everything seemed pretty normal. EXCEPT!!! There were all sorts of cool birds all over the place, a really rare bird came to the bird feeder, I can't really remember what it was, but it was so cool. I grabbed my camera and tried to take pictures of it. Key word: tried. My camera wasn't working and the rare bird flew away. Then I woke up feeling really disappointed.

This is the jumping spider that lives on my desk. It just caught a fruit fly.

Once this chickadee noticed me, it stood up much straighter. It’s so adorable.
