Just some more baby goose spam, 'tis the season! www.copper.gay/wildlife/honk #birds #wildlife #photography

A message in summer days #art

Living in a big city, a pigeon in a tree can be an odd thing to see. Whether they're on the ground or up in a tree, they're very pretty birds. Next time you see a pigeon, stop and admire that iridescence. www.copper.gay/wildlife #birds #wildlife #photography

After seeing baby geese out and about in Lincoln Park yesterday for the first time this season, I took my big boy lens out over lunch today to find more to admire :) copper.gay/wildlife/honk #birds #wildlife #photography

More recent favorites from my sketchbook!

Finally! The first gaggle of baby geese I've seen this year, I'm excited for many more! I wish I had my camera with me. copper.gay/wildlife/honk #birds #wildlife #photography

It's wonderful to see the Canada geese and their goslings this season!

Lincoln Park's wild black-crowned night heron colony is back in full force in the zoo. Their eyes are so striking, like rubies. copper.gay/wildlife #birds #wildlife #photography

what is your favorite warbler species???

Watching wildlife, both animals and plants, wake up for the spring is a sight for sore eyes. copper.gay/photography/... #photography

As we wait for baby geese, I dug through my goose archive, my goosechive if you will, and found this near the bottom. Back from January 2022 when my respect and love for geese began to blossom. copper.gay/wildlife/honk #birds #wildlife #photography

My thoughts on Generative AI

A goose made a nest in the Wrigley Field bleachers, forcing a section of seats to close to fans. buff.ly/sOdYBxA

You know spring is in the air when you hear their mighty 'conk-la-ree' roar, when you see flashes of red swooping down at park guests. Red-winged blackbirds have returned in full force and I'm pretty happy about it. copper.gay/wildlife #birds #wildlife #photography

I went to a local art night and made this collage, the first I've done in my adult life. I used a glue stick and it felt very nostalgic. HONK AT YOUR ENEMIES!

Thought I’d share a doodle today #artsky

Nature is waking up in Chicago and I couldn't be more happy about it. I spent many hours Friday and Saturday around North Pond just admiring the busy wildlife, like this cardinal getting her nest ready for the season. www.copper.gay/wildlife #birds #wildlife #photography

Saw redheads for the first time ever in Belmont Harbor a few days back, which is wild to me because they're not uncommon and I'm always by they water, even in the winter. Such pretty colors! copper.gay/wildlife #birds #wildlife #photography

Honk honk!! I 3d modeled some geese at a park because geese are cute #art #3dmodeling #goose #nature #natureart

Some of my favorite Lincoln Park signs. I hope you're able to visit an Important Bird Area (IBA) someday soon. copper.gay/photography/... #photography #chicago

Totodile finds...something??

A frozen over North Pond getting some use on a cold day a few years back. Views like this make winters in Chicago worth it, at least that's what I keep telling myself as we trudge along into February. www.copper.gay/photography/... #photography #chicago

One of the first shots I got of a bee back when I started taking wildlife photos back in 2022. I like it because the bee looks so small compared to the plant, like a mini planet from Super Mario Galaxy or something from the bee's perspective. www.copper.gay/wildlife #wildlife #photography

A double-crested cormorant drying their wet feathers after a day of hunting in Belmont Harbor a few late summers ago. I miss the summer... www.copper.gay/wildlife #birds #wildlife #photography

Nothing is scarier than the roar of the mighty red-winged blackbird during peak nesting season. Be careful, they swoop. www.copper.gay/wildlife #birds #birding #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #photography

In my experience, cardinals are hard to get shots of. Constantly flying around, always hiding behind branches. Was glad to finally get a shot like this last winter! www.copper.gay/wildlife #birds #birding #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #photography

Visiting family in suburban rural Nebraska for the holidays. We were birding around a pond and a bald eagle gave us a Christmas Eve gift! copper.gay/wildlife #birds #birding #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #photography

Brainstorming Whenever I start drawing for the day, sometimes the hardest thing to do is figuring out what to draw. It can either be having too little ideas of what to do, or in this case too many. From my art archives of 2021! #illustration #cartoonart
