Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
Have you ever notice all the variety of life in your neighborhood and nearby habitats? Definition of Biodiversity: the variety of life in the world, or in a particular habitat or ecosystem.
I live near a lake and forest, in which there is always something to see. If you have a small pond, river or your very own backyard habitat, the ecosystem is amazing. The threats to the ecosystem are many, a few are loss of habitat, over exploitation and the spread of non-native species.
The first time I saw the Green Heron at our lake. It is great to see such a variety of birds at our lake.
Lesser Yellowlegs, I was confused since this bird's leg colors look like bright orange to me?
A couple of Solitary Sandpipers at our lake.
Below some shorebirds, the Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs and a Solitary Sandpiper.
My mosiac from our walk on the local fire road lined with tall pine trees, next to the lake, some fall leaves and mushrooms, an Osprey in flight, our lake and a Belted Kingfisher across the lake.
A view of the sky and clouds, later the same day after our walk on the fire road.
I am thankful to live in a state and neighborhood with such biodiversity. It is the variety of life, I have only seen a small amount of species contained on earth. Biodiversity is important to people and the health of ecosystems. It is beautiful when you take in the wonder of it all.
I am always thankful for your visits and your comments.
Thank you Michelle for hosting. Thankful Thursday
