Photographer and carpenter. Started photographing birds a year and a half ago. Using a Nikon Z8. Most of the bird shots were taken with a 500 f/4 lens. All photos posted are mine, unless clearly identified as reposts.

Thank you Colleen. I’m a bit frustrated by the low resolution that bsky posts photos at. The original is tack sharp! I appreciate your comment!

Thank you. I’ve spent quite a bit of effort getting a decent Kingfisher shot. Finally today in the rain I got lucky! A wonderful Christmas present. Crossword and sudoku are my puzzles of choice.

I know. It's crazy! I've seen them eating frogs, lizards, gophers, mice etc.

Two of my favorite presidents. I met Jimmy Carter but a year later, in 1979. The most underrated president ever. My father was his FDA commissioner from '79 to '81.
