Some Of The Reasons I Despise Barbed Wire
There are no easy answers for the dilemma of barbed wire and its effects on wildlife and even domestic animals, especially if you’re a farmer or rancher. But we can certainly improve our track record if we realize there’s a problem. A big one.
Pronghorn Fawn Frolicking In The Grass
In my opinion this is the cutest baby mammal of any species I’ve ever photographed.
Red-breasted Nuthatch – Bottoms Up
Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff And Flight Toward Me (10 image series)
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.
Golden Eagle, Golden Light And Flight
White-crowned Sparrow And Fall Colors Of Wild Rose
Finding birds has been tough lately and yesterday was about as discouraging as it gets.
Male Brewer’s Blackbird In Flight
My first time photographing a male of this species in flight. I had to cheat a little to get it the way I want it but I finally got the photo.
Long-tailed Weasel Yesterday At Farmington
Fourteen Image Series Of A Great Blue Heron Taking Off And In Flight
I actually got nine additional photos of this bird in flight but I thought these fourteen were the best ones. They’re all presented in the order they were taken with no skips.
Red-tailed Hawk In A Menacing Flight Posture
Northern Mockingbirds Are Still Here In Northern Utah
I’m surprised they haven’t migrated south by now but I’ve seen several of them the last few days in the mountains and on the valley floors
American Pipits In A Fire Scar
Me And My Shadow – Great Blue Heron In Flight
Occasionally a single element in a photo will grab me in a way that I’m willing to overlook something else that would normally put me off a little.
