Dismantle the oligarchy and the patriarchy. I'm still just a small town girl who loves wildlife photography and hates the patriarchy. Unless otherwise noted, all photos posted are my own. 🫘 Iowa Blue Dot

Today, I am hitting the Mother Road for a little while, then going to the mountains. When I get home, I'm going to head east. A couple of years ago, I went to both coasts in June. I won't get quite that far this time, but still some good fun. Look forward to plenty of roadside oddities. #Route66

My last Iowa bird for a while: I haven't posted this one yet because I wasn't really sure about my ID. If anyone wants to chime in, feel free. When I first photographed, I thought this was a bank swallow. Merlin identified it as a tree swallow.

#SmArtist Parts of a whole. Probably because I'm working on a project right now using parts of photos to make a whole picture, I've got mosaics and stained glass on my mind.

I think this display from the House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin qualifies as #WackyWednesdayArt

Since I'm posting #birds I typically ignore while chasing new lifers, here's an underappreciated Grackle preening his beautiful feathers.

For #tagTuesday The gum wall in Seattle

I had a day of birding where I only saw the more typical #birds I decided to share this female Brown headed cowbird today.

#MountainMonday Has me all the way west in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest

#BlueskyMonday has me admiring some buildings in Milwaukee.

Yesterday was super hot, but I wanted to check out a newer birding place. I didn't have much luck, so my best share is this mourning dove who wasn't the least bit shy. #Birds

Stun day is tough for me, because I've seen so many stunning photos. Since I tasked myself to come up with a #Birds daily, I try not to post birds on other themes. This one spoke to me today. It's a Pied Billed Grebe swimming in the reflection of a covered bridge. #StunDay #EastCoastKin

All are welcome on my page, even the colors that aren't on this flag.

Good Sunday morning, #Birds feed. Papa House Finch taking on the feeding duties. I love the babies with their fluffy old man eyebrows.
