Female red-headed merganser! They seemed right at home in the frigid waters of Lake Huron. #birding #birdwatching #birds #πŸ¦‰ #duck #merganser #puremichigan #winter #lakehuron #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #art #ice #michigander #mi #michiganbirding #huron #porthuron

This is the bird I wanted to see most during my time in Michigan. I wish I'd gotten more time with it, but I'm happy to have seen it at all. This toasted marshmallow is a snow bunting! #birding #birds #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #puremichigan #πŸ¦‰ #bunting #snow #winter #huron #cute #snowbunting

I think so! It was -11F so it was very cold! They didn't seem to mind too much though. :)

I’m feeling very, very homesick. I go back to Michigan next week, so until then, I’m reminiscing on past memories, like seeing this buck last year on a foggy morning. #puremichigan #deer #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #art #michigan #homesickness #michigander

Absolutely beautiful. Those colors are incredible and that reflection is perfect. Well done. I used to love visiting Ontario and hope to again soon!

I love watching Eastern Phoebes. I see them often, and they’re just as ferocious as the other flycatchers! #birding #birds #birdwatching #cute #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #art #easternphoebe #phoebe #flycatcher #spanishmoss #florida #πŸ¦‰
