Guided wildlife photography adventures in Northern California. 📸 All photos © Thy Pygmy Owl Tour. I’m the founder of Thy Pygmy Owl Tour, offering wildlife experiences in the San Francisco Bay Area, inspired by my lifelong passion for owls and nature. For 20+ years, I’ve explored the region’s habitats—from redwoods to wetlands—capturing local wildlife through photography. I also incorporate AI tools to enhance my creative work, educational visuals, and storytelling. This account showcases multiple creative approaches, blending traditional photography, AI, and field experiences to inspire appreciation and conservation of the Bay Area’s wildlife.

Golden hour with a little ground dweller! 🌅🦉

There’s nothing quite like the piercing yellow-eyed stare of a Burrowing Owl catching the last warm rays of the sun. Standing tall and keeping a watchful eye over its territory.
