This may be a lukewarm take at most but I feel that generative AI has little or no place in wildlife photography (and other art forms) with @birderjax and @typacoo_draws cameos #wildlife #birding #noai

Here are some shots I got from our day birding with @hjacobson44 in Lake County, MT

Stilt Sandpiper was a lifer for me! This bird was distant but provided some good looks as we watched it hanging out with a Lesser Yellowlegs.

American White Pelicans are always a fun subject to shoot. This one flew in from high up, slowly circling a small pond before landing.

To my surprise, we saw multiple Merlins. These small falcons are fun to watch as they sometimes can be seen mobbing birds much larger than themselves.

A young Bald Eagle that did not seem to be bothered by a closely circling Turkey Vulture.

Sandhill Cranes have such an enchanting sound.

My first of the year Pine Grosbeak! They took us a minute to find, but their strange calls are unmistakable.

Lesser Yellowlegs :)

Just ignoring all the atrocities in the world... I only need a couple things to keep me content.

Sometimes the biggest hurdle is a reasonable excuse to stop.

The heart of this project is the message that the best things are on the other side of fear.

But the sneaky part is that fear can actually manifest in insidiously subtle ways.

For instance:
- It would be perfectly reasonable not to tell that person how much you really care about them. Everything is going so well, why rock the boat?
- It would seem completely understandable if you just enjoyed the position you’re in at work without talking to your boss about a raise.
- And no one would think less of you at all… if you never actually told anyone that you wrote a kids’ book.

The worst part about excuses is that they can really make a lot of sense. And those excuses can usually keep you in really safe, predictable places.
But, the best stories we share from our lives and others usually don’t happen because of the safe and predictable things.

So if the excuse comes across as completely reasonable, feel free to be unreasonable… At least just this once.

Come with me as I move through the stages of FOMO. Didn't think I'd be on such an emotional roller-coaster before 7 am.

More Yellow-headed Blackbird content but I can’t get enough of these birds. Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus is this bird’s scientific name, which means yellow-headed! #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography

I wrote a kids’ book, and I need some help.

Gabby and I have been working on this book for over a year, and now that we’re coming to the end of the creative process, I would love any insight on where to go next. Obviously, I’ve looked up self-publishing on Amazon and everything else, but I thought it’d be a lot more helpful to get an actual human‘s opinion.

Gabby is such an amazing human and artist, and someone I’m beyond thankful to have met through my career at Bear Coast. It seems even more important and meaningful to be working with her on this in an age of AI image generation. When we started on this, ChatGPT and everything else were not what they are today. So… to have a real human behind this beautiful artwork means the world. And I think it brings a lot more life and sincerity to what we are doing.

So please share with anybody that might be able to help out, or just like and share this if you’re excited to also see some independent writing and artwork getting out there. I’m really proud of this and can’t wait to share more with you.

A Sonoran Whipsnake. These snakes are active during the day, with activity usually peaking around mid-morning. They are fast-moving and capable climbers, often retreating into trees when fleeing predation. They will grasp prey such as small lizards, frogs, snakes and rodents and eat before completely killing their quarry. This particular goofy individual retreated under a rock and stared out at us blankly, allowing for a photo. #herping #snake #birding

Some shots from our Global Big Day! I’ll have a video up on YouTube shortly detailing our adventure in South East Arizona. We got some amazing looks are exceptional species! I also had to include this Blue Grosbeak shot even though I don’t usually post feeder pics, but the lighting on this bird was too good to pass up. #birding #birdlife #birdwatching

It was a 4 scream day. 10 minutes into our 3 hour adventure I went all the way in. But you gotta know, if your birding with me, we're going all the way. Jax goes hard.

Golden Swamp Warbler. The Prothonotary Warbler is not often seen as far West as Arizona, so when @birdman_patia found this one, folks rushed to get some looks at him. This bird was completely unfazed by the people staring at him through lenses and binoculars, and ended up hanging out in the area for quite a while. #birding #birdphotography #birdwatching
