Here's a Tricolored Heron I photographed in Florida. These elegant birds are known for their distinctive coloration and hunting prowess.

It is the pectoral fin. :)

Sometimes you can't get the picture you want. 😭

How’s everyone doing?

Here's a Little Blue Heron I captured in Florida. Its sleek blue-gray feathers and keen hunting skills make it a fascinating bird to observe.

I got to hold this yesterday. Anyone want to guess where this shark tooth was found?

We're doing a blind ranking of 10 sharks! This is Day 10. You won’t know which species comes next. Reply with this: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Place the Blacktip Reef Shark where you think it belongs. Remember, you won’t know what’s next!

One of my favorite things to do around serious birders is call gulls "seagulls." It's almost as good as saying "irregardless" around my dad.

This tooth was found in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, in Utah. This is what it looks like today. But, anciently, it had sharks.

The idea of Nebraska having also been a shark hotbed is kind of mind-boggling, isn't it? :)

Sharks possess specialized electroreceptors called ampullae of Lorenzini, allowing them to detect electric fields produced by prey. These small jelly-filled pores on their snouts help them hunt in murky waters or find hidden animals, a crucial tool for their survival.

This is a problem for me. #utpol

Mangroves serve as vital nurseries for species like lemon sharks (Negaprion brevirostris) and various rays, including the mangrove whipray (Urogymnus granulatus). These sheltered habitats offer young sharks and rays protection from predators and abundant food as they grow.

I got to ask Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D about her research on Hawaiian bobtail squid. So, yeah, I'd say my day is going pretty well. She's so cool!

I'm on the belief Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D is one of the greatest people on earth. Thank you so much for your time.

When you're at the surface, about to descend, this is exactly what you want to see below you.

Oh, well, by all means, go ahead and just swim right over the top of me.

This is, by far, my favorite shark to swim with. Caribbean Reef Sharks are tolerant of divers, they have the prototypical shark silhouette. And they're absolutely beautiful.

Sometimes sharks don't want you to get back on the dive boat. It's important you listen to them. Sharks are friends.
