The Stories Behind My Images
Male MacGillivray’s Warbler In The Wasatch Mountains
The first warbler species I ever photographed in Utah actually was a MacGillivray's Warbler at Silver Lake in Brighton on July 25, 2008 which was taken on my first bird photography trip to Utah prior to moving here from Florida.
Male Yellow Warbler Perched In A Willow Gone To Seed
While the male Yellow Warbler is small in the frame in both of these photos I think the inclusion of habitat provides visual interest and appeal.
Adult Spotted Sandpiper At Water’s Edge
I only had this Spotted Sandpiper in my view for about 24 seconds and I'd say more than half of that was spent flying around so I am glad that I was able to take this photo at all.
High Uinta Warbling Vireo So Close I Couldn’t Photograph It
I had this gorgeous Warbling Vireo up close singing its tiny heart out and I couldn't photograph it so I sat and watched it sing and move around in the aspens.
June Turkey Vulture
I haven't had many Turkey Vultures in my viewfinder since they returned on spring migration this year so I was happy to spot one on Saturday morning that I could photograph.
Immature Say’s Phoebe In Northern Utah
It is always a thrill for me to photograph Say's Phoebes so when I spotted a family group of them yesterday morning in northern Utah I was delighted.

Spring Swainson’s Hawk In Sage
The Swainson's Hawk that I spent the most time photographing was snuggled into the top of a sage and he was very calm and confiding.
It’s Time To Look For Uinta Ground Squirrels
This is the time of the year when I look forward to taking my first of the season Uinta Ground Squirrel photos high in the Wasatch Mountains.
Spring Great Blue Heron Photos
The first Great Blue Heron was quietly wading through the water in search of prey and the second heron was looking at something in the distance.
Male Yellow-headed Blackbird On A Rock
On Monday while at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge one of the first birds I photographed was a male Yellow-headed Blackbird resting on a rock.
