In an ideal world I would just post photos of birds.

Happy #FrigateBirdFriday to all who celebrate (just me?). Until recently, I'd only ever seen frigate birds sailing majestically by on ocean thermals - so it was quite surprising to find them just hanging out in this estuary in Costa Rica... 🤯 #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #travel #CostaRica

Happy #mockingbirdmonday everyone! (OK, I made that up, but I wanted an excuse to post this photo of a slightly grumpy looking mockingbird from a trip to New Orleans a while back) #birds #birding #city #nature #wildlife #nola

The sun is shining and it's starting to feel warmer. Looking forward to hanging out on the beach with this crew soon... #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #beach #sun #spring

Dipping back into my Costa Rica photos from last year to share this black guan making its way through the thick understory of the Monteverde Cloud Forest. I think it saw us... #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #travel #costarica #forest

I'm reminded of a walk through a forest, a while ago: a cacophony erupted and overhead flew a red-tailed hawk, pursued by a mob of crows. The hawk had threatened their young; it did not end well for the hawk. No one is too big or too strong to be taken down if determined people work together. #birds

On a trip to New Orleans, we met this tricolored heron wading in shallow water in City Park. It seemed totally unfazed by our presence and let us get close enough to take these photos. #birds #birding #wildlife #nature #city #neworleans #nola
