It's sunsets like this from my backyard deck in Seattle that make me feel like a staycation is all I need to get away sometimes. Taken last evening around 7 pm.

Tennessee warblers, like this individual (who was a lifer for me!), spend virtually zero time in their namesake state. They only pass through during their spring and fall migrations.

I sat near this green heron for the better part of an hour and watched it hunt bugs and poke around the ponds at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. It thankfully tolerated my camera and me, even walking toward me on several occasions.

I went to visit family in Northern CA in Sept. We spent a day at the Presidio in SF. I had fun filming this Snowy Egret who was extremely happy because the tide was coming in which meant the fishies were coming. #birds #wildlife #nikon #z8
