Golden hour with one of spring’s brightest little travelers. 💛
Yellow Warblers may be tiny, but they light up the woods like flying sunlight. These backyard moments are the ones that keep me reaching for the camera.

Between predators, storms, migration, habitat loss, and winter mortality, the odds are already stacked against them.

Handsome Indigo Bunting!

I went looking for warblers this morning, and found a hidden gem! This is a special day, first Indigo Bunting of 2026!

Warbler season is upon us! My favorite group of birds to go after and photograph! Also the most challenging bird for me!
