Been seeing a bunch of these this year, which is nice because I consider them the 3rd prettiest ducks. I’ll have to keep trying for closer and better photos in better lighting to really show off their colors. This group started pretty far away, but…

A few shots of some of the birds I’ve seen recently… including some Common Loons and Horned Grebes in their winter colors (I managed to photograph both in their summer breeding colors in Glacier National Park earlier this year).
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…
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.…
I think most people (myself included) typically associate pelicans with the ocean… but there is a thriving colony of American White Pelicans that live in Grand Tetons National Park. I was not aware of it before arriving at the park and when this huge white…
Kingfishers are one of those birds that I have so rarely been able to get photo of, and even more rarely good photos. This female belted kingfisher (you can tell it is a female by the rusty band across her belly) was photographed at the…
Not too far from where we were photographing the ospreys hunting, I spotted a beaver swimming in a small pond. We took a few shots that day and then returned the following day to get some more…
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…
Basically the last thing I did in Yellowstone NP was to go for a short hike with Aaron. We were both reluctant to solo hike anywhere in the park due to the bear activity (really – it would have been stupid and reckless to do…
My first full day in Grand Tetons NP, I got to see grizzly #610 and her triplets… Enjoy.
I’ll apologize now, but today’s photos and video are really just for the stories, but bear with me (pun 100% intended!). These are the first wild grizzly bears I ever got to see and photograph (though that’s kind of a technicality). This is one of…
While hiking in Montana (technically outside of Glacier NP), I managed to get a handful of really nice shots of this squirrel. I think what makes it work the best is the backlighting…
I know a loon is already black and white, but I feel this processing just draws it out so much nicer… You may recognize these photos from the other loon post…
