I like movie watching and bird watching 🎥 🦉 I spend my days writing code at Slack and my evenings making the pinball tournament app Match Play Events: @matchplay.events 📍 San Francisco, CA (via Denmark) 📸 Canon R6 Mark II, RF 100-500
One of my first bird photos (with a fresh edit this morning 😅). This marsh wren is from 2023 when I rented an Olympus OM-1 camera to try things out (I eventually ended up buying a much heavier setup 😂). Looking at it now I realize it's not really in focus 🙈 #BirdOfTheDay 🪶
The male black-headed grosbeak flew off immediately, but the female is beautiful in her own right 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
I'd been on the lookout for a Wilson's warbler at eye height for weeks when this one popped out right in front of me for maybe five seconds at Dragonfly Creek in the Presidio #BirdOfTheDay 🪶
I saw my first juvenile last weekend and didn't know what I was looking at! It was so young it didn't know that it was supposed to immediately flee 😂
My latest lifers with photos: Lewis' woodpecker and the solitary sandpiper (San Francisco and Half Moon Bay respectively) 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
Nothing better than stumbling on a #MilkNoir by accident. Stephen McNally has a bank to rob, but first he must enjoy a delicious glass of buttermilk. VIOLENT SATURDAY (1955) turned out to be a real banger! 🥛 ❤️
The San Francisco garter snake is endemic to the San Francisco peninsula and has been listed on the federal endangered species list since 1967. I was lucky to see both a young snake and an adult snake at Año Nuevo State Park this weekend. 🐍
A pigeon guillemot prepares for landing while bringing a meal back to its nest. Likely a type of gunnel caught while diving. 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
A young osprey was testing its wings this weekend, trying to keep its balance in the air. It would jump up, hover briefly in the wind before touching down again (China Camp State Park, CA) 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
This year I've gotten a lot better at telling the little brown birds apart. Two from this spring: Lincoln's sparrow in Joshua Tree National Park and a White-throated sparrow at Fort Mason in San Francisco 🪶 #BirdOFTheDay
A great blue heron in its element, moments after catching brunch 🐸 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
Thinking about the beauty of the lark sparrow this morning (Big Morongo Canyon Preserve) 🪶
Only a little blurry but here is a red crossbill taking a bath this weekend 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
Forster's tern letting the whole neighborhood know what's up 📢 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
Pygmy nuthatches set up shop in a small hole in a tree (Alamo Square Park, San Francisco) 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
Close encounter with a white-winged dove 👀 🪶 (Big Morongo Canyon Preserve) #BirdOfTheDay
My favorite bird of May is this Pacific wren, caught in a short break from singing on Mount Tamalpais 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
Wish I was back in Joshua Tree hanging out with this young chuckwalla 😍 🦎
I love the texture of both the barn owl and the tree (Big Morongo Canyon Preserve) 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
A wood duck looks up to make sure I'm not a danger to her ducklings 😅 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay
