A northern flicker at my feeder! I love it when these #birds come through Minnesota 🪶

Look at this red-headed beauty. Such bright plumage! I love seeing all of the woodpeckers return to MN. This is a red-bellied woodpecker. #birds 🪶

Sorry I missed World #wildlife day yesterday. I love nature and do my best to see as much of it as possible daily. I hope you will do what you can to preserve it. We can’t live without it - we just can’t. “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” — Albert Einstein

I love filling my feeders on March 1 - it brings all the #birds to the yard!

If you are in the #TwinCities rn, you know why we live here. What a beautiful day!

Pretty soon, we’ll be seeing little ones around our ponds again. Baby #birds are the best 🪶

As it is now “the deep mid-winter” here in Minnesota, I am longing to be in the Caribbean. This parrot was aboard a fun cruise we took in the Dominican Republic in Oct 2023. 🪶 #birds

A lot of people don’t love Canada geese, but I always enjoy them as photo subjects, because they are more accessible than most #birds and as such allow for lots of practice. 🪶

I had a great morning on the beach at Morro Bay a few years back. This long-billed curlew was among other #bird friends and was unbothered by me and my long lens🪶

Resident #birds in Minnesota winters are special 🪶

Recent trip to the Bahamas did not disappoint. The reefs off of San Salvador are in really good shape for being in the Caribbean. #addocean

Hello #bird lovers! I am sharing with you this little blue heron that I hung out with when visiting Punta Cana,DR in 2022. Water and shore birds are among my favorite subjects. 🪶

Here are some more pictures from a recent. #Scuba trip that we took to the Bahamas. The San Salvador reefs are in really good shape for the Caribbean and I was delighted to see so much variety of wildlife. 🤿

I love it when the northern flickers come through my neighborhood because it means Spring is imminent. This is a shot from last February

Had the chance to hang out with this mockingbird in Baton Rouge this weekend. I’ve missed these #birds since leaving Texas. We don’t get them often in Minnesota. 🪶

Grateful this US Thanksgiving holiday for the #nature that surrounds me.

In honor of the US Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, I wanted to share some pics of our local turkey flocks. So many neighborhoods in the Twin Cities have them. It’s always fun to watch them do their #bird things. 🪶

A pair of bald eagles hung out in our backyard a few winters ago. #birds of prey are fascinating 🪶

Good morning #bird lovers! I captured this little juvee yellow-crowned night heron at dusk in the Bahamas. It visited the same area every night, I’m guessing because of the frogs. 🪶

Hello #bird people! Felt a bit like a pap after seeing the look on this egret’s face. A photo from greener times here in MN.

We came back from the Bahamas recently where we went #scuba diving. I got my Advanced OW certification while there and we saw some great wildlife. Excited to go back - San Salvador has one of the best protected corals left in the Caribbean.

Good morning #bird lovers! Here’s a red-wing blackbird that I saw in my local park this spring. I always miss them this time of year.
