Don't forget to appreciate the common birds. Just because they're common doesn't mean they aren't special

This is a golden crowned kinglet. These are one of the smallest birds in Illinois, being around 3-4 inches long on average. They also move faster and more unpredictably than a toddler that just chugged a redbull, so getting one to sit still long enough to get a photo was pretty difficult

America's 3rd shoreline, the great lakes. We just left Grand Marais, on the north shore of lake Superior

I'm going on a canoe trip in the boundary waters (NE MN) this week. May the call of the Loons ease my suffering and heal my soul

Now that it's not a sauna outside, I've been breaking out the camera again. I'm glad to have caught a good photo of a monarch before they leave for the year

Sorry for the break from photos, I've been doing a lot of fishing this summer. Photos will return! I'm going on a canoe trip to the boundary waters in September, but I haven't decided if I feel comfortable bringing my camera equipment yet

Digging into the vault. Northern harriers are one of my favorite raptors

One year ago tonight, the night sky wow'd much of the planet with dancing colors in what was one of the best aurora displays of the last two decades.

This was the scene all the way down on the freakin' Oklahoma/Texas border that night! Even had overhead pillars. Let's do that again soon, yeah?

One year ago tonight the sky lit up and created a truly unforgettable experience. The last substorm in the early morning was particularly incredible, and that's when all 3 of these photos were taken. Prints are available for purchase as well
