Hey y'all! I think it's time to update my pinned #aboutme post. If you're new here, my name's Archer. I shoot a little bit of everything, but primarily focus on #wildlife and #landscapes. Thank you to those who have followed along or interacted with my posts! 📷🦢🌲

I almost missed #FlyDay! This #pelican came in for a landing on the old pilings in the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. I locked on early and held the shutter down. #photography #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #birdsinflight

So regal. So beautiful and specialized. An evolutionary marvel. #Pelicans seem so large and heavy and yet they glide seemingly effortlessly through the air. They have a surprisingly large wingspan. Perhaps that's the nature of their grace. #photography #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #EastCoastKin

Is everyone ready for the weekend? I've got a bird watching trip planned for tomorrow -- hoping to come back with some good shots!
