The Stories Behind My Images
Great Blue Heron Resting On A Goose Nest
When I found this Great Blue Heron resting on a man made goose nest yesterday morning at Farmington Bay WMA I knew I wanted to photograph it.
Northern Shovelers Feeding On Glover Pond
Early in December while at Farmington Bay WMA I was able to photograph and take videos of Northern Shovelers feeding on Glover Pond.
Hunting Barn Owl In Flight Over The Frozen Marsh At Farmington Bay WMA
During the winter there are times I am able to photograph Barn Owls in flight during the day when the snow is deep and the temps are bitter cold.
Colors Of Nature – Juvenile Yellow Warblers
It tickles me that Pantone® picked these colors this year and once again I am reminded how the colors we see in nature brighten and add inspiration to our lives.
Canada Geese On The Wing In Front Of The Snowy Wasatch Mountains
I love to photograph birds on the wing. It doesn't matter if my subject is as small as a hummingbird, as large as an eagle, as slow as a gliding pelican, or as fast as a stooping falcon as long as it is a bird.
Serious Looking Ring-billed Gull On The Wing
I love photographing gulls. Whether they are feeding, resting, preening, fighting, calling, or in flight gulls are one of my favorite bird species to have in my viewfinder.

About this time last year I took this photo of an adult Eared Grebe floating past me on the Bear River from the road that goes to the auto tour route.
Male Mountain Bluebird, Shadows And A Big Stick
I spent some time wandering in the West Desert yesterday morning and the only decent bird photos that I took were of this male Mountain Bluebird.
Savannah Sparrow In The Marsh Of Bear River MBR
I've been hearing more Savannah Sparrows than usual at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge this spring. I hope that means their numbers are increasing.
My First of Year Turkey Vulture
This post with an image of my first of year Turkey Vulture is about 16 days late because I actually spotted this vulture on April 1st way up in northern Utah.
