Cool. I grew up on a farm in Jones County.

In western South Dakota that looks very familiar. Love it.

Wow, what a great shot!

Here’s Oscar.

Another old favorite – a dapper looking Pintail drake. #Birds #Waterfowl #Ducks

One of my favorites from a couple of years back: A few Bohemian Waxwings were mixed with a larger group of Cedar Waxwings taking turns at the birdbath. These cousins took a break and posed nicely to show their similarities and differences. #Birds #Waxwings

A Tricolored Heron on the shore of Apalachicola Bay at St. George Island, Florida. #Birds #Shorebirds #Herons

One of a pair of leucistic Eurasian Collared-Doves that were visiting the feeders over the last couple of months. It was rare to see them together as they seemed to dislike each other's presence. #Birds #Leucism

From a few Augusts ago, a Calliope Hummingbird sampling the Fuchsia flowers hanging outside my office window. #Birds #Hummingbirds

White-tailed deer twin fawns exploring the backyard during warmer days. #BabyAnimals #Mammals #BlackHills

A juvenile Yellow-crowned Night Heron going through that gangly phase of life along the Apalachicola River Ramble Trail. #Birds #ApalachicolaRiver
