Singer, cat servant, bird nerd, nature lover, photographer, and procrastinator I’m very concerned that our society is much more interested in information than wonder – in noise, rather than silence. - Fred Rogers

Living its best life. πŸ’œ (My husband's name is Jody, too!)
Nothing like getting the stink-eye from a Loggerhead Shrike. πŸ˜„ 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. πŸ’™ #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.

Mama Barred owl - her eyes are gorgeous πŸ’œπŸ¦‰No owlets this morning, but they've been seen making short flights through the branches. #owlphotography #owls #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #lakeland #polk #sunrise #circlebbarreserve #wildlife #saveourplanet
I posted on my page, too. This little orchid has personality. πŸ·πŸ˜„

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

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. πŸ’™#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. πŸ¦‰πŸ˜Š

Here's a feed cleanser for you.
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.

Old bone spurs doesn't care about anyone except himself.
Nice to see that journalists with integrity still exist in this country. #fightthegoodfight
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.
It's the only peace we have some days...

Found some peace in this.
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 β€œwhat’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.
