American #Woodcock /Timberdoodle

During migration, these forest #birds drop into #NYC green spaces to rest—turning the city into a hidden refuge. If they don’t move, you’ll never see them. MEEP!!

A cool surprise—I recently realized an article I wrote was published by Bergen Community College.

It captures a spontaneous night where #photography, #astronomy, and real-world #learning came together.

Hope to see you there.

Excited to share a new feature on my journey as a photographer & educator in New Jersey.

From the classroom to the field, it’s all about storytelling, connection, and seeing nature differently.
