The Stories Behind My Images
Worn Adult Green-tailed Towhee – Breeding Season Can Be Rough On Their Feathers
After a week at home because of smoky skies I ventured into the mountains and one of the first birds I photographed was this worn looking Green-tailed Towhee.
Bank Swallow At Bear River MBR
This Bank Swallow photo feels like I took it a lifetime ago. It was taken on July 30, 2009 at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge shortly after I moved to Utah.
Hatch Year Spotted Sandpiper at Bear River MBR
I was looking through my older images and came across this one of a hatch year Spotted Sandpiper on some rocks at Bear River MBR.
Remembering Smokeless Days
The photo I shared today isn't of anything special. It is a West Desert mountain range view. That smokeless blue sky though? I'd give so much to see that again here today.
Young Cedar Waxwing With A Crane Fly Leg Problem
This young Cedar Waxwing may look like it is yawning, calling, or begging for food because of its wide open bill.
Messy Orange-crowned Warbler Plus Canada Thistles
My subject was actually a slightly messy Orange-crowned Warbler perched on a branch looking down at the ground.
The Stories Behind My Images

This morning I am thrilled to share these Long-tailed Weasel photos taken on the last full day of summer at Farmington Bay WMA which are all thanks to a Rock Wren.
Young Male Common Yellowthroat
On Monday morning, while I was driving the auto tour route at Bear River MBR a young male Common Yellowthroat popped into an open area in some rushes.

This morning I decided to share photos of a Great Blue Heron with a cow behind it that I photographed resting on a snag above the Bear River.
