"All Ears and Eyes...and maybe a tongue or two" Each day these the red fix kits wander just a LITTLE but farther from the den. But when they do they remain keenly aware of every slight sound and movement in the very busy residential neighborhood when Mom and Dad chose to set up housekeeping. #howardcounty #mdwildlife @marylanddnr @usfws #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #cuteanimal #foxes #mammalsofinstagram

Nature Nuggets from DelMarva: One of the most commonly occurring plants in the Delaware and Maryland marshes lining the shore is the Swamp Milkweed - also known as Asclepias Incarnata. Here are a few factoids about this amazing plant: 1. Swamp milkweed attracts a profusion of butterflies, especially the monarch butterfly. Besides harvesting nectar, the monarch butterfly also lays it eggs on milkweeds. The plant will thrive in average garden soil as long as it does not dry out completely, especially in the spring. Thus, it is an excellent addition to a native plant garden. 2. Swamp milkweed, Asclepias incarnata, is named for the Greek god of medicine, Asklepios. Incarnata, is from the Latin carn, meaning "flesh" and atus, "like", because its hue is sometimes like flesh or dusty rose in color. 3. Swamp milkweed’s smooth narrow leaves are lance-shaped with sharp tips and occur in pairs. Sometimes the leaf’s edges turn inward and upward suggesting the prow of a ship. 4. The round, flat flower heads are deliciously scented of vanilla, smooth lance-shaped leaves turn a glorious gold in fall, elegant seed pods become a crafter's dream, and who can resist helping the silky seeds catch the breeze and paraglide away. For more cool flora and fauna facts tune into Brendan At The Beach on Comcast Ch. 8 and Mediacom Ch. 2 from Milton to Berlin. #BrendanAtTheBeach #flora #Delmarvanature #plantsofMD #Asklepios #milkweed #naturalsplendor #naturevsnuture #MDwildlife

A little light tackle fishing yesterday at Harford Glen. Caught some smallmouth, largemouth, fallfish, creekchub, long-eared sunfish, pumpkinseed, redbreast sunfish, and a shad that jumped out of my hand before I was able to identify the species. . Always nice to get out with some small tackle in a smaller/shallow stream, doing some wet wading in some nice weather. . . . . . . . . . . #fish #fishing #stream #bass #largemouth #smallmouth #fallfish #sunfish #pumpkinseed #microfishing #harfordglen #catchandrelease #mdwildlife #getoutside #maryland #wildlife #largemouthbass #smallmouthbass #outside #outdoors #Streamwalk #wading #wetwading

Mice in the garden update. The mom is very protective as can be seen by her guarding her bebehs.

Another day, another noodle in the garden hanging out with the tomato and basil plants. . This little garter snake wasn't too thrilled with me getting close as can be seen by his widening of the body. Many snakes will do this to make themselves look bigger and more threatening. Luckily, this little guy has seen me enough that he doesn't just dart away and let's me get close enough for some decent photos. . . . . . . . . . . . #snake #gartersnake #noodle #boopthesnoot #garden #wildlife #snaek #mdwildlife #biodiversity #maryland #angryeyes #environmentalscience #environment #ecology #biology #herpetology

Atlantic Ghost Crabs are ninja stealthy on beaches and most active at night. They create shelter holes close to the dunes to scavenge in the wrack line of the beach for dead animal and plant matter that washes up as the tide goes out. You can easily identify them with their clear tracks in different directions from the hole in search of food. #beachwildlife #beachlife #marinebiology #crustaceans #crabs #dunes #njwildlife #mdwildlife #wildlifephotography

Diamondback terrapin- Marylands state reptile! What better way to celebrate national turtle day than with this species.

First northern ringneck I've found in a few years now, hanging out at the bird bath and getting some warmth in the morning.

"Not So Still Life" No single bird in this photo is sharply in focus. But there's something about it that appeals to me. It reminds me of one of the spectacular impressionistic paintings by @mbmarsden.

One of the most common herpetology questions I hear is “Are newts and salamanders the same?” Newts belong to a family sub-group of salamanders called Pleurodelinae, and the red-spotted newt is one of the most recognizable herpetofauna of Maryland. Most people observe them as red, terrestrial juveniles that inhabit lush forest floors. These juveniles, called efts, start their life cycles as fully aquatic larvae and later transition into olive green-yellow aquatic adults that prefer still or slow-moving waters. The newts found in Maryland are the red-spotted subspecies (Notophtalmus viridescens viridescens) of the eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), though other subspecies have red spots as well. Of the 22 salamander species in Maryland, the red-spotted is our only newt species

My "office" view for the day while I was out helping Maryland DNR with black bear presence surveys. A perfect day to be in the field out in Allegheny County. . These surveys are conducted across multiple states by hanging cans of sardines up in trees along a transect. The transect is then checked again 8 days later to check for bear activity. . . . . . . . . . . . . #bear #blackbear #fieldday #volunteer #volunteering #dnr #survey #maryland #wildlife #mdwildlife #gooutside #wildlifesurvey #md #mountains #appalachia #mammal #outdoors #nature #environmentalscience #ecology #wildlifebiology #biologist

Love how this decently large black rat snake posed for me today while I was out in the field. . This 5 foot noodle was out enjoying the warmth and sunshine and didn't seem to mind me being a bit close. . Tis the time of year for all the herps to be out basking in the sun and getting ready for some spring/summer romance. .

It is mesmerizing to watch a Common Tern fish. They hover above the water and then plunge down to catch fish. 📸 these 3 pics last summer 2021 while kayaking around Assategue. 🚣‍♀️ Love the water droplets in these pics. #birdphotography #birdwatching #birder #birdlife #birdphotos #birding #birdlovers #birdphotographer #birds #ilovebirds #birdsofmaryland #birdsofinstagram #marylandwildlife #marylandphotographer #marylandphotography #mdwildlife #marylandnature #marylandwildlifephotography #marylandwildlifephotographer #canonrebelt4i #canonphotos #wildlifephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotos #natureofinstagram #naturephotography #women_wildlife_photography #terns #commontern #assateagueisland
