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

Another red-headed woodpecker! They are quite a sighting on a cold winter morning! #birding #birds #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #woodpecker #puremichigan #art #cute #timelinecleanse #winter #snow #mi #michigan

White-throated sparrow! #birding #birds #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #sparrow #winter #puremichigan #michigan #snow #whitethroatedsparrow #mi #cute #adorable #timelinecleanse #animals #art

I think so! It was -11F so it was very cold! They didn't seem to mind too much though. :)

Male red-bellied woodpecker and some tree sparrow friends. ♥️ #birding #birds #birdwatching #🦉 #puremichigan #mi #michigan #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #woodpecker #sparrow #redbelliedwoodpecker #art #timelinecleanse #michigander #winter #snow

It's been a long trip back to Michigan but well worth it! It's so good to see friends and family again. and - short eared owls! #puremichigan #michigan #michigander #owl #nature #wildlife #winter #shortearedowl #birding #birds #birdwatching #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #cute

The Victor - it always amazes me just how many bugs this guy catches. He's so fierce! #bird #birding #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #pretty #vermilionflycatcher #flycatcher #art #🦉

Amazing shot!

It is! :D He evaded the Sora’s notice as long as I watched.

Soras are very secretive little birds. It’s always a treat to see them! #birding #bird #birdwatching #sora #rail #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #art #wetlands #cute #adorable #timelinecleanse #🦉

Another throwback today, this time to the Lilac Festival last year in Mackinac Island. 💜 #puremichigan #lilac #mackinac #mackinacisland #flowers #florida #homesickness #pretty #beautiful #michigan #huron #lakehuron #mittenstate #mi #timelinecleanse #nature #naturephotography

So pretty! Great shots! :D

One of the best. I can’t wait to be back. 💚

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

Absolutely beautiful. Those colors are incredible and that reflection is perfect. Well done. I used to love visiting Ontario and hope to again soon!

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 #🦉

Old abandoned road leading off through the forest. Filled with mountain lupine.

Somebody somewhere
Needs an endless old road
Filled with flowers today

Aww. They look so cozy!

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

Anytime :D

It’s an Osprey :)

This will be the Republican Recession.
