Another great piece by @edfujawa exploring our rich local history!
This post about the history of the Fall Creek aqueduct has been in the works for a while. I just needed nice weather, such as last weekend, for a quick trip down Fall Creek to get some additional photos. class900indy.com/post/water-…

Snow salt is one of the top causes of nonpoint source pollution. As snow/ice melts, it carries the chemicals of snow/ice melting products into our water 💧 system. Try using more environmentally friendly alternatives. To learn more, visit: on.in.gov/1o39y

The American tree sparrow is a busy visitor in Indiana backyards during winter. DYK that despite its name, the female tree sparrow builds her nest on the ground? Learn more about the birds you may be seeing this winter at nature.org/en-us/about-us/wh… #birds
Time flies when you’re having fun. We had a great holiday in the Florida Keys, but now it’s time to migrate back home to Indiana.

That moment when you mistake a real Great #Egret for a lawn ornament…because it’s standing motionless in the middle of a @HomeDepot plant display. Florida is wild!

How much wood could a pack of Pileated Woodpeckers peck because Pileated Woodpeckers do peck wood?

A shed shot while walking through the woods, and the moss makes a marvelous touch too.

Some bark shots from the tree ID hike at Oliver’s Woods. It’s nice to slow down and see the trees from the forest.

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

More from our U.P. trip this past August. These pictures really don’t do justice to the Sandhills Crane’s size. They really do give off dino vibes 🦖🦅

This little sandpiper put on quite a show strutting along the break wall. Taken this past summer during our trip to the U.P.

Poll for other wildlife/nature photographers. What is your preferred camera system? I currently use a #Nikon D500, but I’m thinking about an upgrade and switching to something in the #SonyAlpha lineup.
