#50 this may not be the most visually stimulating photo, but I find the behavior interesting. A Downy Woodpecker hangs below a branch to sip water that collects and drips off after a rain shower.

#57 this photo is a lesson in always having your camera with you. My kids just wanted to go for a car ride out to the causeway. This cormorant was nice and close and I could park and snap a few shots out the window.

#58 the light was low in the pines, in the heart of last winter. Not ideal for photos, but this group of Kinglet borbs was very chill with me and let me hangout with them for quite a while.

It's November 1st. That means its time for my 2nd annual favorite photos countdown! For the rest of the year I'll be posting my best of the best (imo) from 2025. If you guessed it's mostly birds, you'd be right.
