Me and @picoides_chick at the the 4th of July party at our house last night
I'm so excited. My wife @picoides_chick is taking over @bourbonandbirdies instagram page today
These insects are being collected to help scientists understand local biodiversity and the health of the ecosystem. They will be preserved in natural history collections and should stay in good shape for hundreds of years, so scientists can continue to learn from them. They were caught as part of a research internship project by @karguez13 at @archboldstation #stem #bugs #biology #entomology #therealflorida #conservation #floridainsects
Today I had the chance to visit Red Hill to see entomologist Katherine Arquez in action. Katherine specializes in beetles and has been testing her own beetle trap designs as part of her internship at @archboldstation #conservation #entomology #stem #sciencewoman #floridastewards #floridainsects
The scrub is in bloom with tarflower. Now is the time! Take that trip you've been planning to the Florida scrub. #keepflwild #therealflorida #tarflower #flnativeplants
Seasonal ponds like this one are wellsprings of life amid a landscape of sandy desert-like scrub habitat. There are hundreds of wetlands at @archboldstation
Dr. Joan Morrison studies Audubon's Crested Caracara, an imperiled subspecies found in Florida, the American Southwest, and Central America. The Florida population, which is isolated from all others, is found in greatest abundance in the Headwaters of the Everglades. #floridastewards #florida #conservation #conservationphotography #therealflorida

@picoides_chick watching for an adult male Red-cockaded Woodpecker she had noticed was having a problem with one of his legs. Emily's plan was to wait for him to roost for the night, catch him, and remove his leg bands to give him some relief. Unfortunately, we learned that he was bunking with his nestlings, so Emily couldn't try catching him without endangering them. Even though the night didn't go as planned, Emily was able to help him a couple days later. #floridastewards

Tonight @picoides_chick and I assisted wildlife biologist Elizabeth White with her Burrowing Owl project. Liz is monitoring the Florida sub-species on both rural and urban lands. In a burrow in a cattle pasture, Liz caught an adult male and put a GPS backpack on him. In this photo, she is showing Emily one of the burrows. We all got rained on, owls included, but it was a great night. . . . #therealflorida #keepflwild #conservationphotography #wildlifebiology #bird #science #conservation
I love the beaches and the theme parks, but this is the Florida I know best. Swipe to see the rest of the image . . . #therealflorida #keepflwild #landscape #panorama #carousellandscape
