L is for Larus smithsonianus, the Herring Gull!

The quintessential seagull of the Gulf of Maine. They can be surly and fierce or very chill and graceful. Often within the same moment.

But seriously folks. K is for KING CONDOR!

Very beautiful. Very powerful. Very large, as it turns out, whenever I meet one in person at a zoo.

Dinovember, day 22! This mymoorapelta thought she found a nice place to snack in peace, before the fruitachampsa showed up and started chasing insects.

Seriously though, J is for JAY!!!

And how could it not be? I LOVE Blue Jays! They are beautiful and wonderful and anyone who says they don’t like them is probably a narc.

Dinovember 18, its another double day, and they aren’t even dinosaurs 😅

First pic, this little Eilenodon better hope that sunning kepodactylus doesn’t notice it. Maybe the pterosaur won’t be a bother, but why chance it? Get moving!

F is for Finch! 🐥🧚🏻‍♂️

They’re sweet, they tweet, and they are said to be trusted Fairy friends! They’re so tiny and colorful and just seeing them makes me happy! May our holiday season be filled with wonderful winter finches!

It is a sure sign of summer when we start to see these brave little flycatchers at the lake.

D is for Dromaeosauridae!
One could argue that this one is a cheat, depending on how you define “Bird”. One could also argue that this is my thread and I get to make the rules, so there.

Dinovember, day 15! Halfway done!

A haplocanthosaurus stuck in the mud flats made these two marshosaurus think they had an easy meal. They probably should have waited just a little longer 😬

Dinovember, day eleven! A little pack of dryosaurus, vedging out in a field of ferns and horsetails, while the lookout dutifully keeps watch.
