Living its best life. 💜 (My husband's name is Jody, too!)

Nothing like getting the stink-eye from a Loggerhead Shrike. 😄 At least I'm not a lubber grasshopper. This bird is their only avian predator - they can eat them while discarding the lubber's toxic thorax!

Adult Reddish egrets have quite the dance when they're foraging for fish - lots of zigging, zagging, flapping, and jumping. It's like watching a ballet with a little modern dance thrown in. 💙 #birdphotography #egret #reddish #darkmorph #naturephotography #beach #birds #florida #nature #ftdesoto

The Pileated Woodpecker is the largest living woodpecker in North America - they rarely nest in the same hollow tree twice, even though a mated pair will stay in the same territory year-round.

Flying high! Dad started his dance, but mom wasn't interested. That left Breezy to stand there and pretend to learn something from Pop. 😄

Breezy's version of the Crane pose. Look closely and you can see the nictitating membrane over its eye. It's used beneath the normal eyelid to protect the eye from dirt and debris while foraging, etc. 💙#Florida_sandhill_cranes #birdphotography #birdsofbluesky #naturephotography #yoga #cranepose

Revisiting old photos from a beautiful local park in Hillsborough County. These were my first photos with the Nikon D7500 in 2023, my first "real" camera since high school. #orchids #blueskyorchids #flowerphotography #flowers #photography #eureka_springs #floridaparks #protectourparks

Barred owl perched on a branch deep on an interior trail - Hillsborough River State Park. It was sitting directly behind owl signage on the trail. 🦉😊

Early morning sentry, while its sibling stays tucked in behind it. The owlets will be branching soon!

Golden hour was golden - 10-week-old eaglets with the parents delivering the catch of the day. Best hour I've had in a while.

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

Photographing my favorite sandhill cranes is a perfect way to spend a cool, sunny Florida afternoon. Our 5-day-old colt, Breezy was quite interested in getting tucked in for a little mid-day rest with Mama McBeakerson #sandhillcrane #colt #birds #florida #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #love

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.
