Piping Plover earlier this spring at Whitefish Point, in Michigan's upper peninsula. I did not truly appreciate just how teeny tiny these birds are prior I seeing them in person. #pipingplover #birds #upmichigan

Last weekend we went on a Cerulean #warbler tour with Michigan Audubon Club. We did see a Cerulean, but I didn't get a photo. I did get these photos of a White-Crowned Sparrow, a Yellow Warbler, a Great-Crested Flycatcher, and a Redstart though. #birds #birdphotography

Welcome to warbler season! This #hoodedwarbler is a new #lifer for me. Such a cute little bandit.

Here is some example text: "UNGEGN, IHO, nor UNCLOS have dictated the Gulf of Mexico should be recognized as the Gulf of America. As President Donald Trump does not have any affiliation or authority over these entities, this is not an accurate reflection of this international body of water."

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
