the unique Swan Goose (which is well named, i think) offered close-up views in dreary weather back in June. i remember this being the first time i felt really excited about my photos. that green compliments them so well! #birds #photography

lifer Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay from October. fun fact, this is the roof of a campsite bathroom 😅 very photogenic! this also happened just after a failed sunrise watch (full cloud cover). he cured the disappointment, but i still wish i saw the pink mountains. #birds

one of my most memorable life-list additions came in the form of this american three-toed woodpecker. on a 6 mile hike, i heard a woodpecker many times and only saw one on the way back. it stayed just feet from me for a while, once even too close for the telephoto to focus. just amazing. #birds

for Black #Birds of #BlackFriday Here's 2 Rusty Blackbirds from this year, first is spring, the other fall. Theyre pretty infrequent here, I love their fall plumage and really want to get a good pic of it but they seem love shadowy secluded spaces. #Photography

why do the US and england have different names for common birds in both places. golden-crowned kinglets and firecrests are the same, right? it's confusing #birds

my lifer Horned Lark from October at Antero reservoir. i had to hunt down this visual after hearing them for nearly an hour, but i like how the photo came out more artistic than mine usually are :) #birds #photography #nature

the most i've ever worked in a 2-week period is 31 hours (i am a full time highschool student), so try 45 hours in 2 weeks with thanksgiving and only 1 day off from schoolwork? doing my best to keep a streak of going outside but wow, tough. i have 16 hours left this week. also, moon.
