I keep forgetting to post here. Anyway, Newt and I earned our 20th overall title, the Trick Dog Elite Performer title (TKE), back in August! ✨
(Our story was called “The Search for Nessie”)

We had an amazing time at our local Siberian Husky specialty last weekend, where Newt went Select Dog twice for two 5-pt majors towards his GCH! We are now at 23/25 pts and have all 3 majors required for his grand. I am so proud of us 🥹✨

Newt earned two more titles recently, the VSWE and the PKD-N! We are currently working toward the PKD-I, the PKD-BK, and the TKE! He now has 18 titles. 🔥

Enjoy this photo from our most recent snowstorm last week. ❄️

Got a lovely photo of Whistler yesterday with the cherry blossoms. They are already in full bloom at the raptor center I volunteer at! 🌸 #swainsonshawk #birds

This local mom and pop shop specializes in and serves the most comforting bowls of pho. I went with steak, tendon, and tripe this time. Their broth is so clear yet flavorful and they always put so much meat into each bowl. #pho #comfortfood #noodles #vietnamesefood #noms #noodlesoup #delicious

This is a photo I took a few years ago of a White-throated Sparrow in the snow at my house. I couldn't believe what I was seeing as I was taking this shot.

Bushtits are very social birds. They travel together in large flocks during the winter, and the younger birds help their parents with nesting. Here an adult male is snuggling with a recently fledged male.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This stunning print of Wisconsin artist Diane Splinter's "Crane Spirit" reminds us of the beauty and fragility of the Endangered Whooping Crane – and that saving this species is in our hands. Order your print: bit.ly/3Q5bn9s

Yesterday was #WorldWetlandsDay a category of birds I haven’t managed to draw many of (yet!) but this avocet piece was inspired by Saturday’s visit to the Exe river 😄 #birding 🪶

In these trying times, nothing is more comforting than a bowl of Lanzhou hand-pulled noodle soup with sides of pickled wood ear, freshly-steamed dumplings, and spicy cumin lamb Rou Jia Mo. 🤤

This was such a cool encounter this morning at @tapirvalley.bsky.social

I was moving slowly through the forest when I flushed this Black Hawk-Eagle from a low perch near the trail, and it moved to a clear area with a squirrel in its talons.

What a treat to see this bird so close!

Today I’m sharing a photo of another one of our ambassadors at the California Raptor Center. This is Phoenix the Peregrine Falcon, and she is another one of our birds that I train with regularly! She enjoys getting showers from a spray bottle and sunning! #addBirder
