Are condors just big vultures, or is there more to the story? #vultures #californiacondor #birding #wildlife

🧐 Did you know new bird species are still being discovered in North America? I sure didn’t—until Dustin dropped a fact in our recent vodcast that sent me down the rabbit hole once again. Turns out, science is constantly reshuffling what we thought we knew. Let’s dive in! ⬇️

This is what happens when you're married to a birder. You're minding your own business, recording a vodcast with your love & the next thing you know, you're trying to figure out what other animals have red eyes like loons. So here we go, folks. I've climbed out of the rabbit hole with news to share!

Dustin took me for a hike through some local marsh that’s frozen over for winter. We saw bluebirds, blue jays, juncos, chickadees, titmice, and a winter wren. He’ll post a few photos later today so stay tuned! But first, time to defrost ourselves! 🥶 #winter #hiking #birding

It's been a long 24 hours, and we're not even sure what to say. So here's a river otter, everybody. Despite it all, nature remains a pretty awesome thing. So we're focusing on that. #nature #otters #wildlife #photography
