Three Recent And Very Different Red-tailed Hawks
Greater Yellowlegs And Their Reflections
A sunny morning, brilliant blue sky, no wind, shallow water and no wildfire smoke – a recipe for nice reflection photos if the birds will only cooperate.
Snowy Egret Soon After Takeoff
A quickly composed blog post this morning. But I have an excuse and I’m going to use it.
Yesterday I Found The Immature Ferruginous Hawk Again
