What a pleasure it was to finally discover and photograph my favorite duck. Loons are absolutely unique and adorable and I was so excited when I spotted him. #ducks #birds #wildlife #photography

What a treat to capture. An Eagle chasing down an Osprey right when the Osprey released the fish. This was so cool to see. #photography #birds #wildlife

Later last year I had the privilege to go out west to see the sights. I set a task for me to do as many high quality panoramic photos. This is a 22 photo stitch in monument valley! Yes I also do landscape! I’m in love! #photography #landscape #nature #sony #rocks

We got a screamer. The Red-Winged Blackbird is quite the vocalist. This guy was not happy I was around him… clearly #birds #wildlife #photography #sony

The ravens were so pretty out in Utah. To them they are just another bird but to see them for the first time up close was very cool. It was neat to see such an intelligent bird. This was actually taken at Delicate Arch. #birds #utah #wildlife #photography #sony

Moooooooooo, the first animal I took a picture of on my trip was the elusive and hard to capture… common cow. I wanted to try a black and white style since it was rainy and overcast. #photography #sony #mammals

Show me your favorite duck photos! This one is definitely mine. These 6 wood ducks at my local park posed nearly perfectly in line on a log. I held my breath when I saw them, and the photo turned out great #birds #photography #wildlife 🌿

The forest behind them has some pretty serious issues with invasive plants, but a local nature organization has done some work there, and had a workday just a couple weeks ago. I hope they keep working on it, some areas there's not much on the ground except fortune's spindle

Day one of the road trip took me through Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and left us right on the border of Missouri. Highlight of the day was this gorgeous barn. #Barn #Landscape #Photography #Sony

Just had a nightmare that I took a trip out to the park and I saw a bobcat playing in a field. I took out my camera bag to photograph the cat but when I opened my bad my camera was left at home. Truly terrifying.

If I can’t find a wood duck why not just stick with the photogenic Mallard. Just beautiful. I love these guys. #birds #wildlife #photography #sony

The wait is over! I’ve spotted a Belted Kingfisher after over a year of bird photography. Last time was in South Carolina. These birds are so tough for me for some reason. So happy I got to get at least a video. Short sweet and simple video. #wildlife #photography #sony #birds

During mid-summer I had an incredible run in with a Downy Woodpecker some of my best looking shots. Such a pretty and handsome looking bird. #birds #wildlife #photography #sony

Ok, maybe not "definitely" my favorite, because I forgot about this one I was taking a photo of this deer standing in a beautiful field, and somehow managed to catch an indigo bunting in the photo as well. I didn't know it was there until I went to edit it. No motion blur either, very lucky shot

New bird off my checklist ✅. The little cutie patootie. The Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Just look at the little fella. I just want to squeeze its cheeks. #birds #wildlife #photography #sony

Yes! The ever so unique and incredible Pileated Woodpecker. Such an awesome not so little pecker. It’s sounds and calls are so interesting. I was so happy to get close to these fellas. #birds #wildlife #photography

One of my most popular and most attractive photos iv taken. Taken on Christmas Eve this was pretty good gift for me. The fact this was really early in my photography career gave me a lot of motivation to keep pushing. #Birds #Photography

One of my most proudest photos. A beautiful Flicker perched on a branch in front of the moon. It’s not everyday you will be able to get a shot like this. Patience and time is key. I was lucky enough to have some beautiful morning conditions and a perfect spot for birds. I think it came out great.

It was such a pleasure to be able to film these amazing Bison. How amazing was it to see them sprint around. Definitely one of my highlights in my new learning curve, which is videography. This was shot in Big Bone Lick State Park in Kentucky.
