Went looking for birds and found Kermit, instead.

This is at the Loess Bluffs Wildlife Refuge in #Missouri, just north of Kansas City. Spectacular view of Snow Goose migration. Is #videography a word? #kansascity #loessbluffs #photography #wildlife #snowgeese

So often I want to get the closest image of my subject, but it doesn't always work out that way. Use what you have and have fun with it! #wildlife #wildlifephotography #coyote #deer #whitetailed #loessbluffs #nature #outdoors #nikonphotography #nikon #missouri

Here is a series of shots I took of a beautiful mature bald eagle landing with food at Loess Bluffs NWR, Missouri. Late December 2025. #eagle #baldeagle #LoessBluffs #raptor #birdsofprey #wildlife #wildlifephotography #Missouri #stickingthelanding #Nikon

Unearned bald eagle arrogance? Check. Attention-grabbing hairstyle that obviously uses a lot of product? Check, check.

Yep. Confirmed juvenile.

Lincoln's Sparrows are secretive birds not usually seen thanks to dense cover habitats. (Not that one would know this thanks to all of the photos of them out there. Me thinks the sparrow doth protest too much.)

After minutes of silently creeping near him, he finally saw me. He didn't give me another thought, but it was nice to be noticed.

He was coming in fast on some other birds, so of course I yelled out, "Duck!"

To say I wasn't ready to capture this juvenile bald eagle against a bright sky after it exploded from a tree is to say the truth. (Tom Cruise and me: we can't handle the truth.)

One. One shot out of nearly seventy sorta worked. Sheesh.
