Perhaps this is a budding romance?

Scoot scoot. The Waukegan captive-reared chicks spend much of the day running up and down the beach looking for delicious snacks. In this shot Ray and Dandelion look like they’re in a race, and Ray is delivering some friendly trash talk.

Here's the thing about people. They're stupid.

Just realized I’m the same age James Gandolfini was during Season 1 of The Sopranos.

Piping plover week continues in honor of our Waukegan friends’ nearing departure!

Here Benny is foraging happily after taking a bath, while Genesee does a flyby over the water. Their very own air and water show!

I’d be too scared to do that lol.

The original trilogy really does hold up. The fact that it's an almost 50 year-old movie and does really says a lot about how ahead of its time it was. Same with Jurassic Park.

Legit spit take.

I talk in my sleep and my girlfriend told me I was talking about “fat baby JD Vance and the orange devil” in my sleep. Welp.

More Waukegan piping plovers coming at you!

I love this early morning shot of captive-release chick Genesee. Her expression is all business as she forages to build strength for her long migration coming very soon.

It’s SO good.

Wow. Arsenal hit it out of the park with their third kit.

Funny enough, this little guy is BFFs with the local sanderlings. Semipalmated plovers are a different story altogether.

Thank you, AJ! 😀

Thank you, Jennifer. 🙏🏻

Air Benny to Waukegan tower, requesting clearance for landing.

I don’t know if I’ve ever had a better day photographing wildlife than my piping plover shift this morning. I’m looking through my photos. Unbelievable stuff this morning.

Happy dystopian sunrise from Waukegan Beach.

This is peak Wisconsin.

Yep. It’s definitely nice to unplug!

Kettlebells are incredible tools. They really can give you a full body workout, including the cardio portion.

I’m new to the hobby and sparrows and swallows are by far the most difficult for me to ID with my eyes. Good training for listening though.

Home Run Derby at Wrigley is going to be incredible.

In ‘Sinners’ and his music, Buddy Guy is keeping the blues alive. It hasn’t been easy Blues legend Buddy Guy will release a new album on Wednesday, his 89th birthday.

His new album “Ain’t Done with the Blues.” releases today, his 89th birthday.

It’s incredible how far this smoke is traveling. It’s coming from the border of Manitoba and Saskatchewan near Nunavut.

Cool. Cool.

Definitely going to make salsa and pickled hot peppers.

31. I’m missing a lot of cool ones I definitely want to visit.

Anyone need peppers? This is basically my daily harvest at this point.

Yay. More wildfire smoke 😔
