I found this Rock Sandpiper at the Oregon coast. They breed in the Arctic, but eke out a living along the Pacific coast in winter. Since they're almost always found on rocks, shouldn't we call them Rockpipers? #bird #birdphotography #naturephotography #rocksandpiper #oregoncoast #shorebird

Be careful where you plant St. John's Wort - it takes over any space it's planted in! The flower is about 2 inches across. This was one of the first #flowerark photos I did. Many more to come! #flower #stjohnswort #flowerphotography #nature

This Loggerhead Shrike landed just for a moment on a trailside post. It was surveying the scene for little critters to snatch for a snack. #bird #birdphotography #loggerheadshrike #shrike #naturephotography

Here's a Varied Thrush I saw a few weeks ago in a cool, wet northwest forest. This one is a female. I love the scalloped appearance of the feathers on their side. #bird #birdphotography #variedthrush #naturephotography

Last week we released 18 #takahe to start a new population in the Rees Valley, near Queenstown, NZ. There will be challenges, but it's an exciting step towards establishing self-sustaining wild populations, and a great example of collaborative #conservation. www.doc.govt.nz/news/media-r...

Here's another in my series of studio flower shots. Maybe I should give a name to this series, how about the #flowerark in honor Joel Sartore's #photoark? This is a yellow Clivia. While this photo is from last year, it's blooming again right now! #flower #photography #clivia #flowerphotos

I love photographing water birds in harbors. The calm waters reflect all kinds of interesting colors. This Common Loon was at Garabaldi, Oregon just a few days ago. #birds #birdphotography #commonloon #loon #naturephotography

I visited the Oregon Coast a couple days ago, and encountered this Red-breasted Merganser. This appears to be a female (immature males look similar, but not this time of year). They will head to the arctic to breed in the summer. #bird #birdphotography #redbreastedmerganser #naturephotography

This maple tree in the Portland Japanese Garden is one of the most-photographed trees in the world - but not often with snow, as the garden closes when it snows. Takes some pretty fortuitous timing to already be there when it snows.❄️ #landscapephotography #snow #winter #Japanesegarden #gardens

Today on Mt. Rainier, this was a typical scene. Falling snow increased throughout the day - coating everything in white and making it sometimes difficult to distinguish up from down. #landscape #winter #mtrainier #landscapephotography #snow #phlumf #subalpinefir

This colony of Common Murres was on the Oregon coast in winter 15 years ago. These birds have endured a difficult decade, with mass die-offs mostly due to food scarcity in warming oceans. But these were vibrant at the time - a real treat of nature. #birds #birdphotography #commonmurre #alcids

The sun sets on the central Oregon coast. Winter can be a great time to visit the coast, with few crowds and dramatic weather to keep you entertained. I think that's a Western Gull on top of the rock, but hard to be certain. #sunset #landscapephotography #Oregoncoast #photography

The Common Grackle is well, common. But when they're displaying like this one is, and the light hits just right, they're striking. #bird #birdphotography #photography #commongrackle #naturephotography

Dark-eyed Junco- slate-colored Junco hyemalis #photography #birds #wildlifephotography Juncos are the "snowbirds" of the middle latitudes. Over most of the eastern United States, they appear as winter sets in, and then retreat northward each spring.

This is the view from the front porch of the lighthouse keeper's house at Heceta Head, Oregon. Can you think of a better job than hanging out here, keeping an eye on the lighthouse? Ok, I suppose there was more to the job than just hanging out. #travelphotography #travel #lighthouse #oregoncoast
