Back-brooding Clark’s Grebe With A Chick About To Abandon Ship
With their eyes completely surrounded by white and an orange bill I think Clark’s Grebes have a slightly more elegant appearance than the nearly identical Western Grebe. But I love spending time with both species, especially when they’re back brooding chicks.
Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff And Flight Series
This series was taken under difficult conditions and it shows but that’s part of my point in posting it.
Why I Don’t Promote Image Sales On My Blog

American Coots are among the most belligerent birds in North America and I love photographing their chases and fights.

Wing flapping of aquatic species is a common behavior that I find difficult to photograph well.
