photo from Saturday, July 5, on 196th Street, Maquoketa, Iowa
I stopped to take this photo on my. way to Codfish Hollow. That 2 minute delay caused me to be caught in the storm without shelter.

There's a trend...

Saw whet owls, so tiny! Captured images of these two last year. Haven't been out looking yet this season. Also known as pocket-sized murder floofs. This is my contribution to #SuperbOwlSunday

Hiked along the Brazos river in Texas with my grandchildren this summer.

It's almost eagle season again here along the Mississippi River in Iowa. Here's one from last winter. #birds

This image is a stack of 5 images taken consecutively during a storm. Bridges in the photo are the old and new I-74 bridges over the Mississippi River.

Here's a pair of Great Horned Owlets. #birds

Here's another pocket-sized murder floof, aka Northern Saw Whet Owl. Taken January, 2024. Wink! #birds

I began my 2024 with a whisper, capturing photos of Northern Saw Whet owls. I recently saw them described as pocket-sized murder floofs...and I found it very fitting.
