I'm a photographer based in Montana. My handle comes from the bird site before the nazi bought it. Sit back and enjoy.

I promise this will be the last one of this grain elevator. Maybe.

A little more up close and personal version of yesterday's image in Amsterdam, #Montana.

I hope y'all are doing okay.

Last time I was by here, I didn't have a wide enough lens with me. Almost went off without a hitch today. 🙄

Tall grain elevators on a very narrow road in Amsterdam, #Montana.

Found this little guy on our walk today. If anyone can take him in and give him a place to call home, just reach out. He's very well rounded.

Two cute little chickadees warm up in the early morning sun. Known as the 'horaltic pose', this warming of the body helps these birds fly almost effortlessly for hours.

For #SamoyedSunday (yes, it's a thing), this is my older boy. His self-appointed job is to never let me out of his sight as opposed to my other boy who is like "Dude, I've got more important shit to do".

Late Night Music Break

If for no other reason than the theatrics of Mark Stein killing it on vocals/keyboard and Carmine Appice on drums, watch this video.

That, and it's a great cover of a great song. My dad let me stay up for this show.

C'mon people, let yourself enjoy something. You need it.

Abandoned cabin along the Missouri River. Another of my personal favorites for a myriad of reasons. It's even in color!!!! 🤪

Been a long week. I hope y'all are good.

Comet, #Montana
This was the first true ghost town (no preservation) that I had ever come across. Little did I expect to become completely fascinated with these abandoned, falling down types of towns.

This needs no explanation.

I apologize for my entire generation that no matter how much we tried, nothing fucking changed.

Wild Horse Saloon/Hotel Montana in Reed Point, #Montana.

Permanently closed I believe, but still for sale if anyone's looking for a new gig!

Free Stuff - Reed Point, #Montana

With about 200 residents, Reed Point is a pretty typical small town in Montana. I've only visited once thus far.

For #NationalBirdDay, here are four toucans I photographed a few years ago. I had no idea we had toucans in #Montana, and I was stoked to find four in one tree!

At one time this homestead was a tiny state park. Budget cuts ended the lease in 2010 and was no longer open to the public. This past summer, a tree tried to murder it! I got permission from the landowner to take a few photos.

Idunno. Maybe it's just me, but waking up to news that your country just bombed another country and displaced and kidnapped its leader should make a bit more headline than the scrap bin of CNN. Pretty sure I voted for none of this. NYT, you should be ashamed.

The Wolf Moon just before sunrise this morning.

My neighbors had to contend with me in my bathrobe for said photo session! 🤪

Thank you for all the love, support, and kind words over the past year. Happy New Year to all!

I'll finish out the year with one more of my favorites.

Just a couple more before it's 2026 here and I turn into a pumpkin or something.

My favorite accidental 'Two Things At Once' of 2025. A schoolhouse built in 1902 with a jet flying to who knows where.

My favorite dog photo of 2025. One would think my boys were stoic thoughtful animals by this photo as opposed to the silly goofballs that they really are!

One of my favorites from 2025. Completely accidental as I was placing my camera on the kitchen table (yeah, I know, it's not where it belongs!) and I pressed the shutter somehow. A GoFundMe for new light fixtures has been established (I'm kidding).

My most licensed/sold/printed image and I still ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I sorta get it. For the last #MountainMonday of 2025, the Absaroka Beartooth range. I once licensed it to an insurance company and had to rethink my life.

The final #Stunday of 2025! This was my girl that I dragged across the country when I moved to #Montana. She spent 13 of her 16 years out west.
