Lots of immature Northern Cardinals in the woods behind my house recently. A juvenile flies a short distance, then the mother follows it - they do that over and over. I guess she's giving them flying lessons. #Birds #nature #photography #Cardinal #NorthernCardinal

The brightly colored adults get all the attention but the ugly duckling juveniles deserve some love too. Red-headed Woodpecker - Angelina National Forest - July 2023 #birds #photography #wildlife #nature #USForestService #USFS #USDA

Black morph Red Fox - 7/7/19, 4:32 a.m. on the Dalton Highway, north of the Arctic Circle. It didn't get completely dark that night, but 4:32 a.m. was like dusk, so it's a little grainy if you look too close, but COOL animal, huh?? #photography #RedFox #Nature #DaltonHwy #Fairbanks #Alaska #mammals

Photobombed by a caribou. I was trying to get a shot of a golden eagle (through a car window), and an attention-craving caribou managed to crash the party. I never did get a decent photo of the eagle. #birds #mammals #Denali #Alaska #caribou #GoldenEagle #photography #photobomb

Before I took this photo in 2002, Woodhouse's Toad (Bufo woodhousii) was not known from Padre Island. #amphibian #toad #PadreIsland #herpetology #photography
When in Peru, if you're a carnivore, you've got to try this staple meal: Guinea Pig pizza - a couple of weeks ago. Yum.
yes, it's non-native and invasive in the US but I kinda liked the photo. #birds #photography #nature #wildlife

Restoration finally finished of Notre Dame Cathedra. It must be a different experience to see the 900 yr old church all new and shiny. It was a waste of money, imo. I got to see it before the fire in 2016. Chimera overlooking Paris from the NDC - 11/06/16 #photography #Paris #NotreDameCathedral
Caribou - 7/7/19, 2:33 am, it was summer in Alaska and above the arctic circle it was light most of the time, but it was a little dim at 2:33 am so these grab shots were a little grainy. #photos #photograph #Caribou #Alaska #DaltonHighway #Mammal #PrudehoeBay #Deadwood #Fairbanks

Drizzling rain and looking into a harsh white sky, I didn't see these Steller's Eiders until it was almost too late. I threw up my Nikon and banged off a few at 7 f/s, and got one that was decent. I could read the band and got it certified by USGS. Threatened species. #birds #nature #photography
This one was a little soft. It was almost dark. Angelina National Forest
