Be careful if you visit Plumb Beach. This tick was documented there today. Google search said it is an "American Dog Tick," known to transmit Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever & Tularemia. Not known to transmit Lyme disease. Check your legs if you walk in tall grass during high tide.

The Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea) appears brilliantly blue, but its feathers contain no blue pigment. Instead, the color is created by the way light interacts with the feather structure. #IndigoBunting #Birding #BirdPhotography #JamesFallettiPhotography @nature_org

This pair of Black-winged Stilts thought I was too close to their nest on an agricultural pool near Pinoso even though I was a field away! Always very noisy. Look at those legs though. #birds #birdsseenin2026 #birdphotography #naturephotogtaphy #birding

I took this photo back in May at the Seep in Central Park. I loved the cardinal's bright red feathers against the green leaves. A print of this photo will be in a group show opening Saturday 2 to 5 pm at the Riverfront Gallery inside the Yonkers Public Library. Stop by!

Round 2. I started over today. Any favorites? I know there isn’t a number 1. I already ruled it out.

I wouldn’t be here if not for La Bamba. As always, my deepest gratitude to the Valenzuela Family. The documentary American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez (playing wide this year) beautifully chronicles the genesis of that film and my casting.

Longevity is earned. Looking back, was there one role that changed the trajectory of everything that came after?
