Managed to find this pair of Long-eared Owls this morning down at the lake. I've known this pair has called the lake home for a while now, but they've been extremely ellusive until now! #birds #raptors

Throwback to this Wilson's Phalarope shot I took back in June that I forgot about. #birds

Tonight my little Eastern Screech Owl friend down at the lake was the most cooperative it's ever been for me! #birds #raptors

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.

One of my favorite Bad Religion albums and one of the best punk albums period.

The Red-breasted Nuthatches are out in full force, seems to be an irruption year for them. I've never seen so many of them here in Eastern South Dakota. #birds

Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk(just before rescuing it and taking it to the raptor rehabillitation at the local zoo)

My view of the McCook, NE tornado. One of my favorite individual intercepts, but I missed the tornadoes afterwards because I stopped at the farm house that it hit to help with search and rescue.

Got some shots of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) tonight. This is a fairly faint comet, so I made a stack of multiple shots to bring out more detail of the comet. I also used this opportunity to get a shot of the Andromeda Galaxy. Brave new world of photography for me lol. #astronomy

This Eastern Screech Owl down at the lake last week. This little guy has been a resident there for about a year now and is pretty reliable!

Always great to see an owl return to the same territory for the fall/winter season. This little Eastern Screech Owl gave me some great photo ops last year and it looks like it'll give me many more this year too! #birds #raptors

The ground is down there somewhere

Wish I had better shots of it, but it looks like it wasn't a Bridge Creek look-a-like just for show after all.

Haven't been able to get out and bird much, but I did get a nice shot of this ground squirrel near my apartment this morning lol. Itching for it to get cold enough to get rid of the bugs so that I can start owling again!

The guy on the right outright saying "just kill them" during a discussion on what to do with homeless people flashbanged me

Everyone has different trauma responses to drug related childhood trauma. I chase tornadoes and spend absurd amounts of money on camera gear, and the vice president commits war crimes 🥰

Managed to get my first Merlin shot today! #birds #raptors

Went back out this morning and he was still there sleeping. Managed to nab him and get him into a box for transport to the raptor rehab at the local zoo. He was still alert, but very weak and didn't put up much of a fight. The zoo rehab he just needs food and fluids. #birds #raptors
