Dusky Jawfish (Opistognathus whitehursti) are fairly regular fish at the Blue Heron Bridge. Like most (maybe all?) jawfish, they are mouth-brooders – meaning they hold their eggs and the babies for the first few days in their mouths to keep them safe. They tend to…
I decided to take a trip back to Wolf Rocks to see if I could find some more rattlesnakes and was not disappointed. I was surprised to realize it has been over 3 years since I first photographed the rattlesnakes there. This time I managed…
Another recommendation from my friend Dawn, I made a stop at Devil’s Tower National Monument.
One morning I joined a few of the new friends I made while in the Tetons to aim for a nice sunrise photo. The sunrise was pretty lackluster, but as we were standing there, this fox ran by on the other side of the creek.…

It has been quite hot and humid recently even though I’m not in Florida, but while I’m thinking about Florida, here is an assortment of bird photos I took in 2021 while I was there…
Bear Jams are both a blessing and a curse in multiple ways. On one hand, it makes it a bit easier to know that there is something worth stopping to photograph when there already are a bunch of other cars pulled off the side of…
