Sharing my IG video from back in July 2023 of rescued, captive reared and released Sea Rocket, Wild Indigo and Prickly Pear, and our most precious Imani (Monty and Rose’s boy) at Montrose Beach!! Sea Rocket and Imani went on to successfully raised three chicks in 2025 !

Love my #delightbox portrait of baby Sea Rocket, Prickly Pear & Wild Indigo by @timkocher.bsky.social. It commemorates our visit to #MontroseBeach on 7/21/23 to see the captive #pipingplover chicks from NY after their release in #Chicago 🥰 @chicagopiping.bsky.social #endangeredspecies #sunlightbox

Lightbox made with layered white and black paper in a wood frame up against a sunny window. The image is of three young piping plovers on a sandy beach. The one in the center is reflected in a puddle of water. Overturned boats, buildings, a lifeguard tower, people having fun and the waves of Lake Michigan can be seen n the background. The blue sky and clouds are visible through the open back along with the surrounding trees.

An early #robertredford role: playing a murderer in the 1961 detective series The New Breed, starring Leslie Nielsen. The show only lasted one season, but the intro is mighty cool. #quinnmartin
