The Stories Behind My Images
Loggerhead Shrike On A Wild Rose In Front of The Dying Great Salt Lake
Had I taken these Loggerhead Shrike photos four to five years ago the background wouldn't have been dry lake bed. It would have shown water. Precious, life-giving water.
Focusing On Fall Wild Turkey Tom Photos
Yesterday morning the first birds I focused on taking photos of were Wild Turkey toms as they displayed for each other on desert ranchlands in northern Utah.
Fruit Fly Shaped Cloud
On Friday I was looking for birds high in the sky and low on the horizon when I turned my head and spotted a fruit fly shaped cloud.
Singing Townsend’s Solitaire Surrounded By Tiny Bugs
Yesterday I was thrilled to listen to and photograph a singing Townsend's Solitaire as it perched on a juniper surrounded by tiny flying bugs.
Wondering About Overwintering Double-crested Cormorants
Last winter I missed seeing overwintering Double-crested Cormorants at my local ponds and in other locations in northern Utah where I typically see them.
American Goldfinches In Winter Plumage
Last week I spent some time with American Goldfinches in their winter plumage in my viewfinder and had fun photographing them.
The Stories Behind My Images
Variant Canada Goose With A White Forehead
This week, while photographing birds at my neighborhood pond, I came upon an uncommon Canada Goose with a white forehead and an oddly shaped cheek patch.
Three Drake Redhead Photos
This morning I am sharing three drake Redhead photos that I took at my local pond two evenings ago before the golden light of sunset had started to glow.
American Coot And Funky Reflection
I spent about 45 minutes at my local pond yesterday afternoon and one of my favorite images from being there was this American Coot with a funky reflection.
Male Northern Harrier Photo
I'd like this photo of a male Northern Harrier more if there weren't camping trailers from a duck hunting club near the auto loop of Bear River MBR behind him.
