I've seen a few loons in recent years, but they're usually far away in huge lakes, so I was surprised to see one in a small lake nearby. Their sleek breeding plumage is amazing up close 🤩

Nothing better to test your camera's autofocus capabilities than photographing tree swallows in the snow zooming over a lake. Keeper rate was about 0.000001% 🎯

After months of restoration efforts from the hurricanes, happy to hear Fort DeSoto finally reopened this week. Sure sounds like a great place to be after a week of single-digit temps here in the Midwest 🏖️

An eastern screech owl gets ready for his busy night 👀 This was my first attempt at long-exposure owl photography, glad a couple of them turned out.

A snowy owl perched atop someone's home. Loved how it looked on the snow-covered roof with the cloudy sky behind it, as if it were floating in air. ❄️🦉
