Late might thoughts no. 6: i just learned about tarsiers. What do you think it feels like being born with super hearing and night vision? How do they master hearing everything all the time? #tarsiers #cutelittleguys #mammals #adaptation

Grue...as opposed to like...idk..teal???

Late night thoughts no. 5: acknowledging the things that don't happen in a day seems easy. Considering the accumulation of things that didnt happen over a few decades is much harder. The mental health is low lately. #anxiety #decisions

A very nice wildlife veterinarian, and rehabber was able to take the bird and give him some medication. The next day, he looked great and was able to be released back in my yard. #birds #wildlifephotography #bird #wildlife

I wish i liked more things so i could enjoy them simply and overlap. I like birds. Drawing birds. Painting birds. Making entire life stories for birds. Watching birds. Watching videos of other peoples birds. Learning about birds at fairs. Looking at bird taxidermy. See? #birds #hobby #life

Sept. 6 is International Vulture Awareness Day! By consuming carcasses, #vultures prevent the spread of deadly diseases. Their bald heads, super-strong stomach acid, and ability to process pathogens--even anthrax--make them perfectly adapted for that essential role.

Went to the Fiber Arts Festival in Salida, CO today. Who knew you could make yarn in so many ways and uhh...smells. The alpacas and sheep made themselves known! 🐑🦙🐐 If you use bird down...is it still a fiber?

Don't forget to check this out! #kidlitgn kidlitgn.com/2025/09/03/w...

I highly recommend this delightful documentary - two dudes (non-birders) decide to complete a big year (see as many birds as they can in a year) living out of a van. Wonderfully done. Free on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl-w...

Here is my illustration for this month's @scbwi.bsky.social prompt: "Mismatched". My inspiration for this month's prompt was the quote "Don't judge a book by its cover". What stories would this devious princess and sweet vampire tell? #scbwidrawthis #scbwiillustrators #scbwi #kidlitart

Late Night thoughts #4: if domestic cats are descendants of desert cats...why does my cat sound like someone stirring a jar of mayonnaise when he grooms himself? And why is it so loud?! #cats #desertcats #tooloud #moist #hygienic #latenights #nosleep

New level of gremlin unlocked! Pouring baking chocolate chips onto the kitchen table and eating them one by one. #lazy #gremlin #friday #tired #selfcare #amtreatingmyself #chocolatechips

Late night thoughts #3: my brain likes to give me 10 new picture book ideas, 5 new painting ideas (that I will never get to) a Titanic amount of self doubt and remember a pilates work out from 3+ years ago. 🫩 #artsyfartsy #creativelife #stahppp #nuerodiverse #sleepy

When it's nigh on #fallmigration and you some #birds that aren't supposed to be where they are in your scope 😂 #sandhillcranes in #Colorado in Chaffee County! Anyone else see them at Clear Creek Reservoir? #birding #uncommon #ebird #birdwatching

Late night thought: Why do I bother myself so much? That inner voice that isn't helpful! 😤 Sometimes it's #anxiety, #mentalhealth, or #pressure. I think this is what #selfcare means. Not just spa days and brownies 😅 building healthy #habits for longevity. Silly #pigeon #art.

As an author or writer, one of the hardest things for me is to get up and write early(5am), but it is also one of the best feelings to have when you are done writing for the day. - Wrtr #amwriting #Writing. ~Any extra writing during the rest of the day then just feels amazing. #author #writer

Oh to be tiny next to a big big fish. #KidLitArt #DigitalArt #Fish

Late night thoughts about #nature. If two looking flies are having a contest...is it to the death? Also learned that the evolution of blowholes has in NOT relocated the breathing orifice behind the head but the tube is still in front of the brain case. #wild #showerthoughts #birds for tax.

Do you ever get a sudden overwhelming sense of dread that you’ve done something wrong? 👀 Yeah, erm… we do too. But then we say aloud, “You are good, you are kind, you are enough!” And we relax
