Jill Wussow

Jill Wussow, 31, is a seasonal field biologist, nature photographer and nomad. She has worked with several federally endangered bird species (including the Golden-cheeked Warbler, Black-capped Vireo and Piping Plover), sea turtles, and bats all over the United States. She is rarely in one place for more than a few months at a time and her whereabouts are often confusing. Field work has given her great opportunity to travel often and meshes with her passion for wildlife and nature photography perfectly. Through her photography, Jill hopes to convey her love and respect of the natural world.

 
Sometimes I take photos of birds

Apparently I haven’t put any bird photos up here in a while, what’s that all about? Unacceptable! So to alleviate that issue, here’s some Texas birds for you.                       Hooded Oriole (Icterus cucullatus) who sat still for about 5 minutes and a Bewick’s Wren (Thryomanes [...]

 
Chipster

Not to be confused with hipster, which there are many of here in Austin. But check out this Chipping Sparrow. Could he be any cuter? Jill Wussow Photography

 
Piper Buddies

Spotted Sandpipers, not all the same one. You love them, yes? They may be lacking spots but a couple of them have a few coming in, but I don’t think you can see it in these photos. Jill Wussow Photography

 
Look at the Cute Guy

Whoa. Well since that last post was a bit of a downer, here’s something cute to stare at. I love staring at cute stuff. (Black-chinned Hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri) Black-chinned Hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri) Jill Wussow Photography

 
Black-Chinned Hummingbirds

I finally mustered up some patience to snag some flight shots of hummingbirds. How’d that happen? They’re all Black-chinned guys and gals and they’re all pretty fancy. In other news…? Finally some some fun migrant warblers (a Blackburnian and Wilson’s) but it’s so slow here. A two day weekend would be great so I could [...]

 
Duck It

I finally got some ducks to sit for photos. This rarely happens. That’s all you get. There it is.                               Jill Wussow Photography

 
Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus)

Feast your eyeballs on the glory of this badass Roadrunner…he actually sat there so I could get a full frame of his head. What a beast!….Okay, side note then: I guess the actual post looks the same but not really into the new editing stuff, meh. Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) Jill Wussow Photography

 
After Hours

Still pulling these out from my Anahuac cache from a couple months ago…I’ve got nothing to report right now, so stare instead at the birds, will you please? And while you do that, listen to this sweet tune from Caribou, one of my favorites. It’s called Pelican Narrows, how appropriate. Jill Wussow Photography

 
Rusty Blackbirds

I didn’t give Rusty Blackbirds enough credit previously. I like these guys. I like ‘em a lot. Look at the lady, she’s beautiful! I’ve got too many things to do today – like run and pack (I’m moving to Austin for the field season to give my Golden-cheeked Warbler buddies some more attention). I finally [...]

 
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

I may have temporarily blinded myself at some point taking photos of this cutie, but it was worth it. He was pretty geared in on eating and paid no heed to me. I like when that happens. I also like his tree art.                         [...]
