Bird photographer hobbyist. Began birding to give my then 13-year-old child and I something in common. Now years later, I'm obsessed, and they could care less. All photos are my own unless otherwise noted. #exPost #exX #Ohio
Happy #Blackbird #FeatheredFriday friends.. Rusty Blackbird wishing you a happy shopping day! #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin 🪶📷🦉

Happy Thanksgiving friends... A favorite Wild Turkey shot from '24: "Turkey's hitching a ride out of town b4 the Thanksgiving holiday". Have a beautiful day everyone--I'm very thankful you all are in my life. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature 🪶📷 #eastcoastkin #photography

Give credit to the photographer otherwise you’re stealing their work.

Hi, former turkey farmer here who raised flocks of heritage breed turkeys specifically for Thanksgiving:

What?!
Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."

Happy #Wrendsay friends... Came across a family of Carolina Wrens last week but only managed to get two of the four in one shot. Still, pretty cool find.

Happy Tuesday friends... nothing marks the start and end of seasonal migration like sight of Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Was surprised to find a couple still in my area, while most others have left for warmer climates. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin 🪶🦉📷

Happy new week friends... Caught this Brown Creeper yesterday and enjoyed watching as they looked in every nook and cranny of the tree bark for a possible meal. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #Photography #eastcoastkin

@rkroepke.bsky.social Hi Robyn— wondering if you’re in FL for Thanksgiving? Hope you are. Have a great Sunday!

Happy Sunday friends... Just finished making my yearly 2026 calendar; going back through my hard drive to find 12 favorite shots w/a few more thrown in for good measure. Here's 1:90k that did not make the cut. #birds #birdingOH #nature #photography #wildlife #eastcoastkin🪶🦉📷

@skwinnicki.bsky.social FYI I’m not sure how far this is from you, but an Orange-crowned Warbler was spotted today at Lodge Pond trail in Ross, OH this morning… could be a nice day for a road trip 🤩 (reported on Discord)

Happy #featheredfriday friends... Our invasive-resident species, the House Finch is wishing you a fine day and please overlook their inherent, English Accent. #birds #birdingOH #nature #photography #wildlife #eastcoastkin🪶🦉📷

This violent rhetoric is unbecoming of the Presidency and dangerous in a time of heightened political violence. We all need to lower the temperature. Dangerous distractions when we should be working to lower costs and make life more affordable for hardworking American families are just wrong.

Happy Thursday friends... From May, I came across this lovely Common Nighthawk & took about 50 shots while they were waking up to start their evening hunt. Just a cool, camouflage-friendly bird. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin🪶🦉📷

Happy #Wrensday friends... I caught a Winter wren last Friday during my cemetery walk, but the photos were lousy... so I've reached back to Oct. '24 for a better photo to share. A very feisty kind of cute. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin

Happy Tuesday friends... working through my hard drive and found this Wood Stork from my visits to Myrtle Beach over the years. A bird who's beauty is unique only unto themselves. #birds #birdingSC #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin

Happy new week friends... the great thing about fall migration is, you never know who might show up--like this Common Loon who took a break at an area cemetery pond. Very cool indeed. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin 🪶🦉📷

Happy Sunday friends... One bird I don't photograph often is the Mourning Dove, primarily because I'm not looking for birds near feeders. Nevertheless, I caught this beauty just chilling on the forest floor and thought, why not? #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography 🪶🦉📷

Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

He never did lower egg prices, instead he just said they’re lower (they’re not).

He never did release the Epstein files, instead he just said they’re a hoax (they’re not).

When your health care costs go way up 📈next year, just remember the GOP majority in Congress:

🛡️Stopped efforts to save your ACA tax credits
🏥Slashed Medicaid by $1 Trillion
🩺Defunded medical research
🧓🏻Cut Medicare

All to give massive tax breaks to their Billionaire buddies.

Happy Saturday friends... while birding Friday, I ran into a chorus of White-throated Sparrows gleefully beeping and singing. Love our winter residents! #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin 🪶🦉📷

Happy #FeatheredFriday friends... 1st time I saw a Sandhill Crane was at Yellowstone in 2016. Came home, went to the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge in Curtis, OH and was shocked to see they lived there too. Oh, what a blessing! #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin 🪶🦉📷

If birds were actually government drones, then there wouldn't have been any birds during the shutdown.

It's over.
