The Cormorant And The Willow Tree
There are still some beautiful fall colors in the valley, especially when they’re bathed in warm morning or evening light, and late yesterday afternoon I actually succeeded in capturing some of them in the background of this four image series of a juvenile Double-crested Cormorant in flight.
Red-tailed Hawk Among Many Natural Colors

I’m unusually fond of this bird because it saved both my morning and my bacon after a particularly stupid mistake in my part a few minutes earlier.
Black-billed Magpie Portrait In Extremes
A somewhat startling example of a problem many bird photographers, including yours truly, like to bitch about – the daunting challenge of exposing black and white birds properly.
