Last picture at least for now until I get back out to photograph the Short-eared Owls. Another incredible encounter as it looked directly at me as it was flying in from further out in the field. It's pretty remarkable as they fly close to the people photographing them from the berm as they are hunting for voles.

The short-eared owl is a medium-sized owl measuring 13–17 inches in length and weighing 7.3–16.8 oz. It has large eyes, a big head, a short neck, and broad wings. Its bill is short, strong, hooked and black. Its plumage is mottled tawny to brown with a barred tail and wings. The upper breast is significantly streaked. Its flight is characteristically floppy due to its irregular wingbeats. The short-eared owl may also be described as "moth or bat-like" in flight. Wingspans range from 33 to 43 inches. Females are slightly larger than males. The yellow-orange eyes of A. flammeus are exaggerated by black rings encircling each eye, giving the appearance of them wearing mascara, and large, whitish disks of plumage surrounding the eyes like a mask.

For any friends out there that have created business accounts.

I have a couple of tips that might help prevent you from being hacked.

Make sure you have a strong and unique password, not sharing your password with anyone, and enabling two-factor authentication. The two-factor authentication is where they got me. I thought it was turned on all of my accounts but I missed one.

Check your Business Manager account to: -Review the people, Pages and accounts associated with your business and the level of access they have in your Business Settings -Ensure there are no unauthorized pending invitations to people, Pages and accounts in your Business Settings

Last major tip. If you get hacked don't give up. It took me 2 weeks and countless hours to get it resolved. But I did it. So do screenshots of anything that is relevant and save them. Because once you stumble upon something it is harder than hell to retrace your steps on how you found it. And if you get stuck and can't figure out where something is that you can't find in your FB/IG META account open up a new tab and ask Google. That was how I found out how to actually connect with an actual person.

This beautiful little Arctic fox is located at the Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma, WA. He is quite the escape artist so there is plexiglass at the viewing area that also has little round stickers to keep birds from flying into it. Talk about a difficult shooting experience. BUT it can be done. 😉
Good times with @

The Arctic fox is found in the Arctic regions and is adapted to the cold environments of the tundra. It is also known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow fox. It is a small fox with a deep thick fur which is brown in summer and white in winter.

I went out several days ago and had a wonderful experience with this beautiful short eared owl. Everything about this image just was something pretty special. I loved the wings and the direct look in my direction while it was hunting. Gives me shivers.

There is a new guy in town and is he ever handsome!!
Bintang, whose name means “star” in Indonesian, is a male Sumatran tiger born in 2018 and weighs in at 250 lbs. He arrived at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in November, 2025 from Wildlife Safari in Oregon. He is affectionately called Bini.
Bini arrived in Tacoma on a recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) Species Survival Plan for Sumatran tigers. He is expected to play a vital role in the breeding program, with a formal recommendation to pair with female tiger Mawar, 6. Over the coming months, Bini will gradually be introduced to her under close observation to ensure both cats remain comfortable and confident throughout the process.
There are only about 400 tigers in the wild on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. There are fewer than 75 Sumatran tigers in accredited North American zoos, making the genetics of Bini and the zoo’s females highly valuable.
