HERE IT IS: Earlier this month, without any planning, I drove 6 hrs to the desert to capture the last full lunar eclipse until December 2028 Over 3 hours I shot over 3000 stills, but not the stars Last Tuesday I drove 4 hrs to capture the stars After 30+ hrs figuring out editing, this is DONE 🧵

15 phases of the moon captures between March 2nd at 12:37 and March 3rd at 4:36AM; the moon goes full full to crescent, then red and back towards crescent. the foreground is of a joshua tree and rocks with light pollution; the light pollution is from the original foreground. no milky way due to it being on the other side of the sky

Belted kingfisher did you know They do not nest in trees. Instead, they dig long burrows, which can be 3 to 12 feet deep, into the soft, sandy banks of rivers and streams. The tunnels are often angled upward to prevent flooding. #birds

I set up a birdfeeder in my new home last month, but haven’t had too many customers. A hawk and a barred owl live close by and sit in a nearby tree.#birds

Ocellated Antbirds are one of the shyest Costa Rican antbirds and they very seldom get close. But there were a few family groups this morning with a bunch of hungry young birds and the adults were busy showing them how to hunt for insects flushed by the army ants. #birds #nature At Tapir Valley
