He sure is a face only a mother could love. I spotted a majestic bald eagle in this exact same spot a few days earlier, but naturally, it ghosted me before I could snap a photo. This guy, however, had absolutely no shame and posed for the camera like a supermodel.

Last week, I had the incredible luck of spotting this beautiful Spotted Sandpiper on the Great Miami River. While the lighting didn't quite cooperate to do it justice, I'm still thrilled to share this glimpse of such a fleeting moment.

Meet the absolute diva of the backyard. This song sparrow wasn't just singing; she was actively auditioning for a Broadway solo and, quite frankly, completely crushing it.

I'm confident this is a sparrow, though it looks quite different from the ones I usually photograph. It might be a field sparrow, but who knows? I guess I need to go back and look at some of my field sparrow photos to compare.

Tracking down this magnificent great blue heron was quite the adventure. He was tucked away deep in the foliage, making capturing a clear photo a true test of patience.
