Female red-headed merganser! They seemed right at home in the frigid waters of Lake Huron. #birding #birdwatching #birds #🦉 #duck #merganser #puremichigan #winter #lakehuron #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #art #ice #michigander #mi #michiganbirding #huron #porthuron

This is the bird I wanted to see most during my time in Michigan. I wish I'd gotten more time with it, but I'm happy to have seen it at all. This toasted marshmallow is a snow bunting! #birding #birds #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #puremichigan #🦉 #bunting #snow #winter #huron #cute #snowbunting

I’m feeling very, very homesick. I go back to Michigan next week, so until then, I’m reminiscing on past memories, like seeing this buck last year on a foggy morning. #puremichigan #deer #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #art #michigan #homesickness #michigander

I love watching Eastern Phoebes. I see them often, and they’re just as ferocious as the other flycatchers! #birding #birds #birdwatching #cute #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #art #easternphoebe #phoebe #flycatcher #spanishmoss #florida #🦉

Today’s adventure was full of wood ducks! I didn’t edit the colors here - the males really are that amazing. #birding #birdwatching #birds #duck #duckies #woodduck #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #art #ducks #pretty #colorful #timelinecleanse #cute

I’ve been a mess with anxiety lately. Nature helps. It was good to see some gators after all the cold. #florida #reptiles #gator #alligator #swamp #reptile #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #art

I had the absolute honor of seeing a wild whooping crane today! These birds are incredibly endangered. #birding #birds #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #conservation #art #crane #florida #whoopingcrane

Pied-billed grebes are so cute. They’re incredibly graceful birds in the water and always fun to watch! #birding #birds #birdwatching #photography #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #florida #art #grebe #cute

This tropical kingbird is another rarity here in Florida. He’s been hanging around with the vermilion. 💛 #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #art #cute #timelinecleanse

It makes me so happy whenever I see native sparrows. This is a Savannah sparrow, even though it’s missing some typical yellow markings. #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #sparrow #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #art #cute #timelinecleanse

I didn’t notice the caterpillar till I got home. Luckily for the caterpillar, the flycatcher didn’t seem to notice either! #nature #photography #wildlife #birds #birding #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #flycatcher #art

For a bit of a timeline cleanse, here is a photo of a female belted kingfisher from a couple weeks ago. #nature #wildlife #birds #birding #art #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #kingfisher #florida #timelinecleanser

Decided to go see the female vermillion flycatcher again on this gloomy day. She’s just so pretty! #birds #birdphotography #birding #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #photography #art

A throwback shot! This fork-tailed flycatcher was in the Tampa Bay Area in December. What a thrill to see one! #nature #wildlife #birds #birding #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #birdphotography #florida #flycatcher #photography

Christa Z @keekachu.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

This photo was so close to being the shot I wanted. Flycatchers are just so fast! But I’m going to share anyway, I’m pretty thrilled about it. #birds #bird #birding #birdwatching #nature #wild #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #florida #vermillionflycatcher #photography

This past Sunday I woke up early to try to find a female flycatcher spotted in the Orlando area. I found her, and we watched the sun come up. I just love these little birds! #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #birdphotography
