I have a number of photos of birds that have caught my taking their photos, but this one is by far the funniest because of the head tilt.

I've posted on Substack for the first time! If you'd like to read some brief thoughts that I have on state parks, please check it out! There are also some cool animal photos of course.

Visit your state parks!
Our state parks deserve more love.

Super happy with how this shot of a common ground dove (Columbina passerina) came out!

One of the cutest finds from my Field Ecology Lab this past semester: a Rio Grande Leopard Frog (Eleutherodactylus cystignathoides)!

The river has finally opened up again post hill country flood so obviously we’re going out in sear of critters! Found my favorite freshwater turtle, the guadalupe spiny softshell!

If you hear the trees screaming, it’s probably a blue jay!

Finished up my summer internship, so here are some of the highlights of what I found in the samples during my last week: unknown species of scale worm, unknown amphipod, and a Spionidae!

This scissor-tailed flycatcher posed so nicely for me during a recent trip to Lake Corpus Christi State Park!

I doubt that there is a single family in America that hasn’t benefitted directly from the NIH.

I can’t help but love all the laughing gulls that were flying overhead during an evening beach trip
