The purple #seastar aka #OchreSeastar - Pisaster ochraceus - is one of the most commonly found #starfish along the coasts of #BritishColumbia. You can see they have thousands of tiny feet on their legs to help them move around.

The purple sea star is considered a #KeystoneSpecies & an essential indicator of #OceanHealth.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 10 - A female red-winged black-bird eyes me suspiciously in case I discover her nest. Looks like she just finished lunch.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3 - Still one of the highlights of my summer--photographing a female (or juvenile) merlin in rural Alberta. This one let me get within about 6ft of her, and I have a couple close ups, but I love something about this one along the fence line.

Good morning Fedi Friends!

As we pulled into our drive after an early morning appointment, I glanced into the field and spotted this little fellow just resting there. She/he looked so pretty through the flowers in the morning light, I took this. It's 10x zoom from my phone, so the quality is as you would expect, but I wanted to share with you all and wish you all a good #WildlifeWednesday morning!

I hope you all have as good a day as possible.
