First trip to Puget Sound did not disappoint! GBHE are a joy to try and photograph.

Had fun looking for owls last night.

Here’s my turkey for turkey week. Wishing all these birds and being peace and comfort.
I stopped eating bird 29 years ago, no regrets. #birding #wildlife 🪶📸

Both good luck and good fortune came together and for the first time in four years, burrowing owls have been spotted again at the wetlands park/former landfill. I was able to see (my first!) one today from quite a distance. 🪶🦉📸 #birding #owl #wildlife #omsystem

There is a red shouldered hawk, rain or shine, out on a powerline on a busy street. I saw him perched there in the pouring rain this week and am inspired by the resolve and spirit. 🪶📸 #birding #wildlife #photography #omsystem

#photofailfriday #blurd 🪶📸 not sure what I will do with my sparrow photo collection, but I love to snap them and missed ones like these still pain me 🤦‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😰

A little sunshine from this Western Meadowlark I saw last week on a (currently) very rainy day. The grasses make for the dreamiest backgrounds. 🪶📸 #wildlife #birding #microfourthirds #omsystem

Glad I have some sunny photos to edit before we get rivers of rain. The kestrel is a jewel and I saw at least 7 of them on this walk through fields this weekend. 🪶 📸#birding #californiabirds #birds #omsystem #wildlife #photography

A quick snap turned into a happy surprise at my first meeting with a California Towhee. A real bird’s eye view! 🪶 📸 #omsystem #microfourthirds #zuiko #wildlife #california #sonoma

I LOVE the natural world. Experiencing awe and wonder are a big part of what keep me going. As the fragile little animals do their best to survive, I take heart and inspiration from them.

I found a northern flicker this morning. 🪶

Here’s to hoping bluesky can be something other than rotting internet garbage. A kestrel having a snack.
