I hear Red-Eyed Vireos almost all the time when I'm out hiking, but I rarely get to see them close enough for a shot. They love to stay up high in the canopy. #birds #nature #wildlifephotography #PhotographersUnited

Common Yellowthroat - The males stayed quite elusive, coming in quite close but never coming out of cover. This lovely female sat in the open for a good bit, long enough for me to capture a few frames. #birds #nature #wildlifephotography #PhotographersUnited

She hurt her wing 3 summers ago and we thought she might not migrate. Her baby stayed with her late, but they eventually left We worried, but last spring here she was, walking up the fence with her droopy wing! This year, same thing! That wing droops but she flys! This is our friend crow! #Birds 🪶

Wilson's Phalarope feed by spinning in place, creating vortices that draw up invertebrates from the bottom, and then darting their heads into the water to capture their prey. #birds #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Throwback to 2021 and one of my first attempts at macro photography, this orange hawkweed, also known as devil's paintbrush. While a beautiful plant, it is highly invasive in Minnesota. #flower #wildflower #macrophotography #PhotographersUnited

The Senate version of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” mandates public land disposals across 11 Western states, fast-tracks fossil fuel leasing. It’s a massive giveaway to industry—at the expense of wildlife, ecosystems, and the public. ACT NOW! westernwatersheds.org/actionalerts...

Eastern Kingbirds are a staple of the Great Plains in the summer. Drive down nearly any gravel road and you'll almost certainly spot one perched on a barbed wire fence. #birds #nature #wildlifephotography #PhotographersUnited

It's important to take some time for self care, like this Semipalmated Sandpiper. #birds #nature #wildlifephotography #Nikon #PhotographersUnited

Had a birding first today - a bird with a band. I went out in 30mph winds with low hopes of getting any shots, but this pair of Red-Winged Blackbirds was quite cooperative. The male was banded, but I couldn't get all of the band numbers. #birding #nature #wildlifephotography #PhotographersUnited

One of many images captured today. A cygnet keeping close to mum. Such a wonderful moment to experience and the peak of my springtime! Have a good night. 🤍 #UKWildlife #Birds #MuteSwan #cygnet #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #PhotoHour

I spent the morning hiking the North Country Trail in Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge. I heard many birds and managed to photograph a few. Details in the alt text. #birds #nature #wildlifephotography #PhotographersUnited

The nest is built and they are taking turns sitting on eggs. But the nest is never really finished. This Horned Grebe has found the perfect plant to add to their home! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶
