Technically this was not my first time seeing pronghorn – I saw a few last year when I visited Bryce Canyon National Park, but I was unable to get the camera out in time to get any photos before they ran away. Speaking of which,…

While in Yellowstone, I got lucky to see this coyote hunting along a river… It pounced on something in the snow a couple times, but it was also keeping an eye on those ducks to see if any came close enough for it to take…
One of the days in Glacier NP, while I was hoping to photograph some loons, I had this Horned Grebe grace me with quite a while of getting to watch it hunt. It usually stayed just out of the good range for my lens, but…
Since I was visiting Yellowstone at the very front edge of spring, I thought maybe I’d get some photos of bison in the snow. I did get a couple shots, but nothing fantastic (and technically some of these are from outside the park, but close…
Ok – not technically a duck… and again with the “common” argument… but Loons are one of those birds that I’ve always wanted to see, and they did not disappoint. Such a beautiful bird. And to hear that haunting calls they make – just unforgettable.…
I guess we’re going to do a “Duck Week” here… Today we’ll look at some Cinnamon Teals. I first saw some at the Arcata Marshes in California, and then some more in that same spot where I saw the Ring-necked Ducks I shared the other…
While in Montana and Wyoming, I saw multiple pairs of Common Mergansers. I’m honestly not sure why certain birds get that “common” label. Maybe they were much more numerous in years past because it definitely doesn’t apply to their coloration or patterns…
I first stopped by this little pond where I found these Ring-necked Ducks on my initial drive to Yellowstone from Glacier. I pretty much got lucky again here as I actually spotted some Sandhill Cranes (more on them later) on the right side of the…
I’m hoping by the time this post goes live, I have a bunch more (and maybe better) bear photos from Yellowstone and Grand Teton NPs, but I figured I’d share this set now. I got a bit lucky with this one – I had done…
Happy Mother’s Day! I intentionally held back a couple of these since they seem fitting for some Mother’s Day photos. Enjoy!
I shared a couple photos of this species of duck before, but let’s take a look at some more…
Another dip into the archives… this time for an assortment from Bryce Canyon… I’ll be heading out on the road again here in a few more weeks, so you’ll likely be getting some more landscape stuff again soon… though, I haven’t heard anyone complaining about…
While we’re on the subject of ducks… Here are a few shots of a pair of Harlequin Ducks I managed to photograph at Keystone Jetty on Whidbey Island. I had seen a post that someone else saw them there and figured I would try getting…
More from the archives… These shots of Green-winged Teals are from a visit to Arcata Marshes during my trip through California.
