American wigeon - also called a baldpate by some. Drought caused a huge decline in these birds forty years ago, although their population has recovered. But it shows how vulnerable all of us are to climate changes. #birds #wigeon #ducks #wildlife #nature #photography #conservation #protectnature

It has been difficult to sleep lately. I can't imagine why. But it is time to start the new day. #birds #owl #burrowingowl #morning #sunrise #stretch #wildlife #nature #photography #conservation #protectnature

Roadrunner and kestrel hanging out in the same tree. More often than not, roadrunners stay close to the ground, but they will go into trees. 🪶 #birds #roadrunner #kestrel #raptor #wildlife #nature #protectnature #photography #conservation

It is not unusual for wildlife to approach me. However, this encounter of a bat that had gotten soaked in the rain went to my husband. It went straight to his camera, which he set down; then it flew to him presumably for warmth. #bat #wildlife #nature #photography #conservation #protectnature

Male wood duck. The wood duck population has increased over the last couple of decades due to conservation efforts. Those efforts need to be increased now that our parks and natural habitats are in danger. #birds #duck #woodduck #photography #wildlife #nature #conservation #protectnature

The song of the red winged blackbird always makes me think of Bosque del Apache - one of my favorite places to visit, and a place that is in danger due to the gutting of our national parks. #birds #redwing #blackbird #nature #wildlife #photography #protectnature #saveparks #bosquedelapache

One of my favorite sounds is to hear gambel's quail calling. I enjoy watching them, and knowing they are nearby #birds #quail #gambelsquail #nature #wildlife #conservation #protectnature

A red shafted flicker in New Mexico. The underside of its wings are bright red, as opposed to flickers in the eastern United States whose wings exhibit a yellow hue. #birds #flicker #woodpecker #wildlife #nature #protectnature #birdphotography #photography #birding

With wildlife photography, you never know what you may see. Like this rare sighting of a Jason in the wild. #photography #fridaythe13th #jasonvorhees #winterwonderland #horror #scarymovies
