The Stories Behind My Images
Male Belted Kingfisher Plus A Rare Migrant Northern Waterthrush
If I hadn't been sitting exactly where I was at the time I was photographing the Belted Kingfisher I would have missed out on seeing this rare Northern Waterthrush.
Immature Lazuli Bunting – Look For The Gape
When I photographed this immature Lazuli Bunting three years ago today these images were eclipsed by me finding a rare Baltimore Oriole in the same area of the Wasatch Mountains.
Four Long-tailed Weasel Photos
I have shared photos of this Long-tailed Weasel before but I liked these four images that I hadn't edited and wanted to share them today.
I Spy With My Little Eye Something Beginning With C…
Do you remember playing I Spy when you were a child? I do.
Snowy Egret In Flight
The reports of snow in the mountains made me think of this Snowy Egret photo I took in August of 2017 with the Promontory Mountains in the background.
Great Blue Heron In The High Country
It has been a week now since I photographed this Great Blue Heron and have been able to get out into the field because of smoke, wind, fire, and rain.
The Stories Behind My Images
Muskrat In A Marsh
While looking for birds at Farmington Bay WMA last week I spotted a Muskrat standing up in the marsh through an open area of vegetation.

Blooming Sunflower And Bee
Nowadays, I don't take as many photos of cultivated flowers, but in the fall, I can't help but take pictures of a sunflower field close to the nature center at Farmington Bay WMA.
Fall Orange-crowned Warbler In A Greasewood
At Farmington Bay WMA last week I found an Orange-crowned Warbler that played hide-and-seek with me for a while before popping out into the open.
