Four Years Gone

Went with an old friend, from my New York days, to see a Kirtland's Warbler. The bird is quite rare due to it having rigid nesting requirements—jack pines of a certain height I believe.

This shot, of a singing male, was made during a tour, with the leader making sure we stayed on the trail and kept our distance.

🐚 Many of my Michigan visits have been dominated by the hunt for Petoskey stones, Michigan’s state rock and one of the many fossils found in the mitt. Although I wasn’t able to make it up to Petoskey this trip (and it would’ve been brutally cold to rockhound in this weather), I got lucky and snagged this beauty from a local thrift shop! 🐚 #petoskeystones #petoskey #michiganstaterock #fossils #fossilizedcoral #rockcollection #crystals #rocksandminerals #rockhounding #thriftshop #rockhunt #rocklife #naturelovers #snowday #vacation #puremichigan #michiganwinter #lowerpeninsula #lp #phenomenalgems #etsy #etsyshop #etsycrystals https://www.instagram.com/p/B42oJ-EHnJV/?igshid=q1jsnwg4c707

Sun Spots

Headed over to Empire, Michigan, in a quest to see the green flash. The sun settled into clouds and disappeared prior to ducking below the horizon, however.

In any case, I find it interesting to be able to view these sun spots as if I'm using a solar filter, which I'm not.
