I'll tell you what horrifies me about this violence. It's how I feel about it. It's hard to summon empathy & compassion for folks who want our lives to be worse, want those unlike them dead/to not have rights, & who are fucking fascists. Being surrounded by hateful bad people changes you.

Just to be clear, snarky social media posts or speeches at protests have no effect on physical takeovers of government buildings or lockouts of government workforce employees. Trump and Putin are winning, and Americans are losing.

For #SquirrelAppreciationDay
please take a moment
to recognize all the Squirrel Moms out there
who hang by their toenails
while maneuvering squirmy toddlers
like that’s just a regular thing Moms do😄

This Reddish Egret was putting on a show. My husband always knows he's going to get a nap in the car when I find one of these characters in a good spot, because I'm going to be occupied for a while.

Happy New Year! I was able to get 104 species on my Jan. 1 Big Day. My favorite sighting of the day was probably this family of Sandhill Cranes (2 adults w/ their 2 progeny from last year) who decided to celebrate the New Year by beginning work on the next batch of babies.

An extremely rare (vagrant) Snow Bunting is hanging out in Brevard County, FL and is attracting tons of visitors. I felt bad being one of them, but he seemed generally unbothered as long as we all kept our distance. What a beautiful bird.

This Roseate Spoonbill was really such a cutie, hamming it up for me at the Orlando Wetlands back in March. One of my favorite species to photograph.

This late Red-Eyed Vireo was the first all migration season to give me the opportunity to shoot its photo. They are such beautiful birds.

Baby dinosaur and its mama. Being a bird parent is no laughing matter.

Hello! I am a nerdy bird and nature person who loves to take photographs and share them. I can;t figure out how to add alt text but will get that sorted soon. This Roseate Spoonbill was a cutie.
