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

Missing all their #WindowsOnWednesday, but if anyone needs parts for their International Scout, just reach out and I'll go hack them off for you.

Standing at the end of my driveway in 7˚ F temperatures and my dogs are rolling their eyes at me.

Anyone know what all these colors in the sky are? (ISO 3200, f/2.8, 22 sec)

For #RockinTuesday, the Yellowstone Chapel in Mammoth, WY (Yellowstone National Park), built in 1913 when the US Army managed the park. Local sandstone was used for the structure.

The light was just perfect that day.

Visit if you can.

Garden of One Thousand Buddhas in Arlee, #Montana.

One of the most pleasantly surprising locations I have ever photographed in Montana. Zoom in and see all the Buddhas!

My first winter in #Montana and Yellowstone National Park. As much as I try, I cannot duplicate the purity and innocence of my first time seeing this winter scene. To this day, my favorite bison photo.

Judging by all the staples and the cans, I'd say this telephone pole has seen some shit.

No context photo of the day.

I promise this is the last #One of this grain elevator because I just didn't capture any more!

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. 🙄

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".

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.

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.

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