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.

Through her photography, Jill hopes to convey her love and respect of the natural world.
Snake Friends
The Western Diamondback is one I’ve seen a couple times. He (she?) lives in that old abandoned house I wrote about a few posts back. Pretty approachable little guy or gal. Snakes. Don’t be weird about it, they’re awesome. I’ve seen quite a few species lately, but I don’t usually have the good camera around. […]
My good friends
It took me long enough to put up some photos of my Golden-cheeked Warbler buddies. My favorite from this season so far is the fledgling preening. Come on! That’s cute stuff. Real cute. Don’t you just want to put the little guy in your pocket? Ahh, I love them, obviously. I keep coming back to […]

Piper Buddies

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 […]
