For #WoodpeckerWednesday, here's a Red-shafted Northern Flicker. This one is a male and was possibly excavating a nest cavity before it took a break and flew over to another tree. A female was nearby. #Nature #Photography #Birds #PNWBirding #Oregon #WillametteValley

It's not quite spring but don't tell the Merlins in North #Seattle that! This pair made quite the spectacle yesterday as the (presumed, I'm a security nerd not an ornithologist!) male called loudly to his partner who arrived not too long after. They didn't stay long as the local murder and resident red-tailed made themselves known and began protecting their airspace.

Wow, even MORE snow this morning! The backyard troopers aren't letting it slow them down at all though! Seeing all these vibrant colors flittering across the white landscape is such a treasure and rarity here in the emerald city. #Seattle #pnwbirds #pnwbirding #seattlewildlife #birds #birding #snow #snowbirds #wildlifephotography #northernflicker #downywoodpecker #bewickswren #townsendswarbler #redbreastednuthatch

This should be my final album in the Favorite Shots of 2024 collection! 2024 was a magical year for me, rediscovering my love of photography and opening my heart to my feathery neighbors and reconnecting with the side of myself that wants to create and revel in the wonders of our world.

Caspian Terns might be my most favorite lifer to encounter last year. Hearing their raspy calls and watching them dive for a meal with the Ospreys and Kingfishers at Dumas Bay was truly a spectacle and joy. There's a few Great Blue Heron pictures in the mix as well, it was a delight to be so close to these gorgeous derp-sticks and they make for fantastic subjects in photos haha.

Oh how I adore woodpeckers! 2024 brought me some great encounters with all of PNWs finest trunk crawlers. I love the Pileated and Downy woodpeckers quite a lot but have so many frequent Flicker and Hairy visitors to my yard. #Seattle #seattlewildlife #woodpecker #pileatedwoodpecker #northernflicker #downywoodpecker #hairywoodpecker #pnwbirding #birding #birds #wildlifephotography

It’s a beautiful day for backyard birds here in the Pacific Northwest. ☺️

Just got my “Little Brown Jobs” sticker sheets placed at the Portland Audubon Nature Store!

As an avid #birder, this is extremely exciting – please celebrate with me?

I’ve been working on something a bit different!

This sticker sheet features a handful of “little brown jobs” – small brown birds that to the casual observer might all look the same. But if you look closer, there’s a universe of variation and subtle beauty up there in the trees!

When I actually have the stickers in hand, I’ll make a big fuss – until then, enjoy these sweet little critter drawings.☺️
