Back home on the mudflats of Machias Bay. Featuring assorted rocks (trailed by strands of knotted wrack), the copious mud of low tide, and the Cutler Towers in the background. #wednesdaywatercolor

Cliffhanger! Risking Life and Limb for Fluffy Seabirds

Another music video/science documentary mashup, this time involving falling off a cliff...

In which I plummet down a 70-meter seacliff to find nesting birds—fairy prions!—and their impossibly fluffy chicks. My latest Nat Geo story (link in bio) features a music video + science documentary with music from "Birds Say" by @darlingside.

Seabird music video!

Music video or science documentary? Whatever it is, it's the centerpiece of my latest National Geographic story: A Krill's-Eye Video of New Zealand Seabirds.

I'm in New Zealand for a Fulbright-National Geographic Storytelling Fellowship.
