Please read this article from the June 2025 issue of Birding mag by @aba.org, titled "The Core of Birding: Friendship and Distance", by my friend/editor of Birding, Frank Izaguirre @birdizlife.bsky.social, who also kindly wrote a wonderful foreword to my book "Out of the Lyme Light." #birds

I enjoyed a serene moment while watching this Trumpeter Swan family from a distance. #birds #swans #birdphotography

I had a magical encounter, deep in the woods, with this Scarlet Tanager. Not only was it foraging down low, but it came quite close a couple of times. #birds #tanagers #birdphotography

I’m having a romance with these Harlequin Ducks. Can’t get enough of these two beauties. ♥️ #ducks #birds #harlequinducks

Lovely Mrs. Eastern Bluebird 💙 #birds #bluebirds

People ask me "why don't I ever see owls", I reply owls are the masters of disguise. Well, this Long-eared Owl was perched totally out in the open, right next to a very busy path. I counted 25 people who walked right by it and never even saw it. No wonder they don't see one hiding in a tree! #birds
