The Stories Behind My Images
Hay Bales And Wild Turkeys
The best chance I had of getting some frame filling images of birds was when I spotted a small flock of Wild Turkeys on top of some hay bales at a ranch.
December Snow Goose
Usually by this time in December I've seen at least one Snow Goose to photograph but so far this year I haven't found one yet.
Dreaming Of A Great Horned Owl
Anyone who knows me at all knows that I think about birds a lot. I think about birds in the morning, at noon, before the sun goes down and I even dream about them at night.
Ferruginous Hawks in Utah
Knowing what kind of habitat Ferruginous Hawks prefer during all four seasons here in northern Utah can increase the chances of finding them year round.
Christmas Morning Snowfall
It is still dark here in northern Utah but I can tell there is some fresh snow on the ground so I guess that makes this a white Christmas even if the white stuff melts before the sun comes up over the mountains.
Happy Holidays 2019
Wherever you are, whatever holidays you celebrate if you celebrate at all, I wish you joy, peace and hope that you will feel the love of your family and friends today and every day.
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.
