Yellow-bellied Marmot – A Real Ham For The Camera
Usually when I have a marmot in my viewfinder it just turns into a staring match without many interesting poses from the rodent. But this guy was a show off.
Red-tailed Hawk Pair At The Nest
Yellow-headed Blackbird (and getting good detail in deep blacks)
This image grabs me for reasons that only other bird photographers might appreciate.
A Stunning Dark Morph Swainson’s Hawk
I believe this bird to be the darkest dark morph Swainson’s Hawk I’ve ever encountered.
A Strange Common Nighthawk Behavior
Bullock’s Orioles In My Yard
Burrowing Owl – A Romp Through The Flowers

A Burrowing Owl With Grit
Western Meadowlark Territorial Display
I finally know the purpose behind this Western Meadowlark behavior. Typically I observe it several times each breeding season but until yesterday I never fully understood its significance.
