Heck yeah!!! Let’s go #Seahawks

Let’s #GoHawks

I finally crossed paths with one of the birds I’ve been hoping to photograph for weeks. Short eared owls aren’t the easiest to find, and most evenings I come home with nothing but cold hands and a quiet drive back. #Fujifilm #bird #wildlifephotography

As I prepare for a snowstorm overnight, I’m reminded of summer days when scenes like this were right at my feet. A quick pause in the yard, a quiet visitor in the grass, and a reminder that warmer days always come back around. #wildlifephotography #fujifilm

I feel that these Mourning Doves are regretting not going with their friends south. #fujifilm #bird #wildlifephotography

Captured this Great Horned Owl by pure luck. Was driving home, my daughter and I saw it on a road sign. Flew home to grab my camera and came back ASAP. Fortunately, he was still there and I was able to capture this moment!! #fujifilm #bird #wildlifephotography #wisconsin

Dawn on the water. Quiet light. An eagle moving with purpose before the day begins after feasting on fresh duck. Shot on my Fujifilm as the first blue tones drifted in. #wildlifephotography #fujifilmxseries #bird

I’ve been using the Peak Design 25L Outdoor bag for the last year. I’ve enjoyed it, but felt it was a bit complicated at times, mostly because I was trying to puzzle piece items into it. For my bday, my lovely wife offered to buy the 45L! Hoping this solves my problems! #Peakdesign #photography

As some of you know, this year is my first ‘real’ year birding. I originally set a goal of 100 species, which I achieved w/ ease. After today, I am adding 2 more species, Northern Strike and Rough-Legged Hawk, I sit at a respectable 168 species. Been a fun year! #birding #wisconsin

Cold mornings like this make me long for spring and summer. Since we got skunked looking for owls, here is a picture of a king fisher I took in July. #bird #fujifilm

Got skunked this morning while searching for owls. Two mornings in a row, no owls, which is a bummer as both mornings the light has been superb. Oh well, maybe next time.

Saw this snow bunting while I waited for the snowy owls in the cold this morning. Was fortunate to have a half-dozen or bopping around. #bird #fujifilm #wisconsin #wildlifephotography

Captured this Northern Harrier hunting in the early evening. Shot on #fujifilm #bird.

Finally captured a snowy in-flight. Froze my butt off to get this shot but it was worth it...Shot on #fujifilm #bird #birdphotography

Snow Owl Yoga. Shot on #fujifilm #wildlifephotography #bird #birdphotography

Hours of quiet, then chaos. Two Northern Harriers cut through the stillness—gone before I could breathe it in. These are the moments that keep me coming back. Shot on the Fujifilm X-H2S with the XF 500mm. #wildlifephotography #birdsofprey #birdphotography #fujifilm

#Hope is back on the menu boys.

Just want to say, I love the #iphoneair - every time I pick it up, it feels incredible. Nice work #apple

I’ve been after a decent picture of a Sora for awhile. Finally came together this past weekend. #fujifilm #birds

New lifer - Little Blue Heron in NE WI. Got a tip last night and searched for em & walked away empty handed. Went back this AM and got lucky! #fujifilm #bird #birdphotography

Stumbled upon this Green Heron on my bird walk this evening. #bird #birdphotography #fujifilm

Crane covered itself in clay and mud. #bird #fujifilm #birdphotography

Always remember, Geese are asshole. #birds #fujifilm - Was fun capturing this sequence. Before/During/After.

Was taking some pictures of this King Fisher and had a Mallard and Dove fly into frame. #fujifilm #birds

First time I’ve been able to capture a Redhead this close! Stepped out after the big rain storm and they were closer to shore. #fujifilm #birdphotography #bird

Was able to capture the second date… #birds #fujifilm

First Date…Captured this Hooded Merganser pair yesterday @ sunset. Shot on #fujifilm #bird #wildlife flic.kr/p/2qUvhzV

Fitting that my first post on Flashes is one of my favorite pics from 2024!

Is the IRS just rubber stamping returns this year? I've never seen my refunds hit my bank account so fast. I assume w/ all the cuts they must be...?

American Medical Association is providing regular updates on bird flu and other infectious diseases on YouTube. I highly recommend subscribing to their page, especially since CDC has been axed by FOTUS #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/user/AmerMed...

Good. I sort of miss instagram of old.

Recently began moving over to #flickr - I never really posted much on #Instagram but have not been on it in weeks and really enjoying my time on Flickr; www.flickr.com/photos/20212...

Was fun sneaking up on this heron to snap this pic. Spent about 40 minutes inching closer and closer. #bird #fujifilm - Follow me on Flickr for more; www.flickr.com/photos/20212...

#Bird is the word with this red winged black bird. Shot on #fujifilm

Love this shot that I was able to cpture of a white-crowned sparrow! Shot on #fujifilm #birdphotography

Looks like it is gonna be lights out for the #Lions. #nfl

This is great - Instagram has become so annoying

Not a great photo but this lil bird is way off course. First time a White Wagtail has been seen in #Wisconsin. Shout out to the Birders who first saw it this week. Probably the first and last time I will ever see this type of bird, which is native to Europe & Asia #bird #birdphotography #lifer

As we close out 2024, here are my favorite #wildlife and #bird photos. All shot on #Fujifilm

Snowy Owl & Pheasant captured earlier today in NE Wisconsin. Been searching for this owl for the last week, visiting common areas daily… #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #fujifilm

Not rain nor snow will keep this goldfinch down. #wildlifephotography #birding #birdphotography #fujifilm
