My wife, @loaf11.bsky.social and I have two very strange cats. Here is the head of one of them. The rest of him is under there somewhere. #fizzgig #cats #caturday

Not a lot of wildlife at the wildlife refuge today, but the skies were off the charts! #landscape #photograpy #wildlife #mammatus #bluesky

Mighty Hawk! 🪶 #birds

We were driving up a mountain road on a gorgeous autumn day, hoping to find a Great Gray Owl. Then we got a sign. 🪶 #birds #owls

Lovely light. The sun was in and out this day... mostly in. I set up and waited, hoping the perfect window would open in the clouds and, it did. #BryceCanyonNationalPark #landscape #photography #nature

A common tern preens on the banks of the Klamath River in southern Oregon. 🪶 #birds

I was scanning a cliffside at Lava Beds National Monument and did a double-take when I came across this Barn Owl deep within a crevasse. At first, I thought it was standing at an angle, but it was actually leaning on the wall. The sun was setting and it was just waking up. 🪶 #birds #owls

~ Fishing in the Creek ~ What a thrill it was to sit on a dune and watch these brown pelicans dive for fish in the shallows. There's just something about freshwater flowing into the ocean that has always fascinated me. 🪶 #birds #wildlife #oregoncoast

I've never followed a plaque before, but these are interesting times. Follow the plaque, and the plaque might follow you back!

Happy Friday, everyone! Here's one of my favorite photos from this year. What an incredible emcounter!

Barn owl. I recently spotted this one hiding in a very chaotic willow tree. #bird
