Sandhill Crane And Wildflowers In Wilderness
Photographs of wildlife in wilderness have special meaning for me. If I’m aware that an image was taken in a truly wild setting it changes the context in a positive way.
Saturated Swainson’s Hawk Enduring A Downpour
Burrowing Owl Take-off Series And The Dangers Of Barbed Wire
Two events yesterday morning made yet another threat of barbed wire for wildlife painfully clear.

Male Cassin’s Finch Enjoying A Dandelion Smorgasbord
Several days ago I had a rare (for me) opportunity to photograph Cassin Finches in Montana’s Centennial Valley.
Dark Morph Red-tailed Hawk In Flight
