I’ve really been enjoying turning some of my photographs into illustrations! What do you think of this killdeer? #birdnerd #birds #illustration #wildlife #birding #digitalart #florida

New design alert: Golden-crowned kinglet! 👑✨ Because sometimes your side quest is spending 20 minutes watching a tiny bird the size of a ping pong ball hop through pine branches, and that's valid. For fellow bird nerds: sidequesters.etsy.com #birding #birdwatching #BirdNerd #SideQuest

Day 4 of #inktober (murky). I wasn’t sure exactly where I wanted to go but I kept thinking of swamps and decided to try get a layered look with various hatching methods. How did it turn out? #inktober2025 #swamp #depth #artchallenge #ink #lineart

Check out this T-shirt I made based on a very cute chickadee! sidequesters.etsy.com/listing/4381... I saw this chickadee in my backyard and I loved the way the light was hitting it! #birds #birdnerd #natureisbeautiful #tshirt #wildlife

Day 3 (crown) #inktober2025. Not a theme I was particularly excited about, but I’m happy with the result. #inktober #ink #crown #art

Beautiful Florida Scrub-Jay! These guys are fun and often love posing for photos! #birds #birdnerd #natureisbeautiful #florida #photography

My creation for #inktober day 2 (weave). I went with the idea of a wizard weaving spells together. How did it turn out? #inktober2025 #ink #art #illustration #magic #dnd #rpg

Day 1 of #inktober (mustache)! Trying to push myself a bit with some illustrations. #inktober2025 #illustration #art #dnd

This chipmunk is ready to quest with you, but only if the price is right! #chipmunk #dnd #quest #tabletop #illustration

Just summited Huron Peak! First 14er and there’s even cell service up top! Saw a few birds but didn’t even think of lugging my camera up here! #colorado #14er #huron

I love the colors on Green Herons and I spotted this beauty at the Merritt Island NWR! Make sure you visit if you have the chance! Share or comment your favorite recent sighting below! Nikon D7500 + 200–500mm @ 500mm, 1/1250 sec, f/5.6, ISO 320 #birds #photography #natureisbeautiful #birdnerd

I love when I can get up close to a subject, but sometimes it’s nice to see these birds in context! Hope you are having a wonderful day, very cold and snowy in Colorado today! #birds #birdnerd #photography #natureisbeautiful

I spotted this beautiful white-crowned sparrow at the Fountain Creek Nature Center in Colorado! #birds #birdnerd #photography #natureisbeautiful #colorado

Happy Sunday! I will always love a scrub-jay and this woodhouse was kind enough to pose for a picture! #birds #birdnerd #photography #natureisbeautiful

Enjoy this beautiful barred owl I spotted when visiting Kansas! I so rarely spot owls that any chance is a special treat! #birds #birdnerd #photography #natureisbeautiful

I spotted this beautiful Clark’s Nutcracker at Rocky Mountain NP! It was so crowded when we went that we didn’t see much wildlife and were constantly bumping into people on the hiking trails. 😢 #birds #photography #birdnerd #natureisbeautiful

Who doesn’t love a pigmy nuthatch? Hope this brightens your day! 💙 #birds #birdnerd #photography #natureisbeauiful

Beautiful cattle egret I spotted at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! It was just stopping by one of the open air exhibits to say hello! #birds #photography #birdnerd #natureisbeautiful

Great Blue Herons are a favorite and it's easy to see why! They are probably largest bird most people will see, relatively approachable and their plumage cannot be beaten! #birds #birdnerd #natureisbeautiful #photography #herons

We had such a great trip to Grand Teton NP and Yellowstone NP last summer! Getting up close and personal with this coyote was definitely a highlight! We spotted him as we were leaving dinner and I only managed a couple shots before he disappeared! #coyote #mammals #wildlifephotography #photography

Sometimes you get lucky! We have broad-tailed hummingbirds that hang around in the summer, but they almost never sit still! I got very lucky that one perched at eye level when I had my camera with me! What’s your luckiest sighting? #birds #birdnerd #photography #hatureisbeautiful

What do you think of this anhinga? It’s not in the typical pose, and I love the beautiful red eye! You won’t notice that without getting incredibly close! #birds #birdnerd #photography #natureisbeautiful

Sometimes our retention pond would fill up and I’d get excited to see what species would visit. Highlights included roseate spoonbills, wood storks and these mallard ducklings! There’s only about 6 inches of water but they didn’t seem to mind it! #birds #birdnerd #photography #ducklings

I spotted this beautiful Black-headed Grosbeak last summer while visiting Grand Teton NP! That was such a great trip and we spotted so many animals! What are your must see national parks? #birds #birdnerd #photography #natureisbeautiful #nationalparks

Little blue herons are almost unrecognizable as juveniles because they are pure white! This one is right in the middle of its transformation, straddling childhood and adulthood! It’s the only one I’ve ever spotted at this stage! #birds #birdnerd #photography #natureisbeautiful

Check out this beautiful male mallard! Note a particularly rare bird, but I love the way their green heads reflect the light! #birds #ducks #birdnerd #natureisbeautiful #photography

It’s not my normal bird photograph, but I hope you’ll enjoy it just the same! I found this lizard while in the Everglades and the lighting was too perfect! I have no idea what species it is, so feel free to let me know in the comments! #lizards #everglades #wildlifephotography #natureisbeautiful
