Art and Science MATTER

Artist and lover of science. I am a large scale chalk artist, bird watcher, and photographer. All of my pets are rescues; they rule my heart. Photos are my own.
#BirdOfTheDay, #BirdsOnTwigs I caught this Bay Breasted Warbler during spring migration at Magee Marsh on Lake Erie in Ohio. This location brings birders from across the world to witness concentrations of warblers as they pass through. Amazing. #birds #birdphotography #birdwatching #birdmigration

#BirdOfTheDay, #Songbirds Here is a chipping sparrow hanging out in a sycamore tree I have in the yard. These little guys are so sassy. I love their rapid-fire chipping song.

#BirdOfTheDay #stripe This urban bird is on vacation at the beach. Rock doves - pigeons - are uniquely colored, each individual is different. Most birds have colorations and patterns they adhere to, not this guy! #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #beachlife #ocean

Last year’s trip to Michigan to get sunrise photos of lighthouses along Lake Michigan. Those waves were monsters crashing against the lighthouse.

Patient mockingbird with an over-the-shoulder gaze. These guys are starting to establish themselves in Ohio where they have typically been found further south.

Young Coopers Hawk working my bird feeders. This shot was taken through my kitchen window. He missed on his incoming attack and sat, seeming to reflect on his mistake. #birdoftheday #headshot #birds #birdsofprey #birdphotography

My sweet lab, Sadie. She was diagnosed with a tumor in her bladder. It is inoperable. 11 months and counting since the bad news. Every day is a gift. #dogcancer #dogs #dogfamily #photography #bwphotography #cancerisawful

Lake Erie birding visit. Large flocks Canada geese, ruddy ducks, gadwall ducks, and SWANS. (About a dozen bald eagles too!) nice to see the Ottowa National Wildlife Refuge open after the shut down.

Vermillion Flycatcher - a gorgeous little bird. I took this photo at Sweetwater Wetlands Park in Tucson, Arizona. Surrounded by desert, the water at this park attracts so many species of birds and animals.
