Baltimore oriole, singing the song of his people from high in the treetops.

A cooper’s hawk stopped by for a look around the neighborhood.

I caught these common goldeneys swimming and fishing on the last remaining bit of open water on Lake Waubesa.

I was hiking Governor’s Island in Madison yesterday when a bald eagle swooped over my head and landed on one of the trees along the shore.

Seeing a northern cardinal showing off that vivid red is a welcome sight in the middle of winter, when bright colors are so rare.

I felt lucky this woodpecker paused in the open for this photo. I ended up with quite a few outtakes (like below), following her while she jumped around looking for treats in the trees.
