Since I’ve been taking pictures of birds, I’ve lost my neck for more abstract landscape. But autumn colours and changing light makes it very tempting.

They’re still pretty elusive to my lens, but I feel like after a year of hunting I can pretty reliably eyeball them when I hear them. And once in a while, they pose for me. All hail the belted kingfisher

I particularly love the cormorant migration. And they often look like a keffiyeh in the sky.

And as an aside, know what? When birds gather they don’t RSVP.

If you’re newer to resisting this level of repression, please listen to those who know. Don’t RSVP to a protest.

This great egret is celebrating a nice little snack. I don’t think the fish is quite as celebratory though.

Accessibility matters.

you can turn on a feature that prompt you to include all text every time.

ironically, the share button didn’t work for me so I had to post this as an image, but here’s the link to checkyour own score

I was hoping to catch a night heron in the moonlight last night, but a great blue will have to do.

if only I had a full frame and a tripod, I would’ve gotten some really interesting shots, but this cleaned up OK I think .

Kayaking gives you shakes, but it also gives you great angles.

This is the closest that I’ve ever gotten to a baldy… It’s a juvenile and I almost didn’t take the picture as I thought it might just be a turkey vulture lol

My first ever cedar waxing. Pretty far from my camera, but it was exciting to catch.
