White Ibis and the reflections from mangroves
These two White Ibis images were taken 19 frames apart and the color of the water changed dramatically as the ibis and I moved north

I photographed this particular Red-tailed Hawk on five different days in Utah County and really enjoyed the cold, crisp mornings I had with it.
Even though Uinta Ground Squirrels are called pests, vermin and varmints by some people I happen to like them a lot as photographic subjects.
On my recent trip to eastern Idaho's Targhee National Forest the first mammals I encountered and photographed were a cow and calf Moose.

I never know what treasures I will find or if I will be taking wildlife, scenic or bird images but that is part of the fun.
I never seem to get caught up processing all of my images but I picked this Calliope Hummingbird image to process and share this morning.
This is a follow up on my post from yesterday titled "Help Stop the Utah Crow Hunt" and deals with the codes of the Division of Wildlife Resources and Wildlife Board.
If the proposed crow hunt isn't stopped Common Ravens; fully protected under the MBTA, will almost certainly be killed this coming September because of mistaken identity.
On my trip last week to Montana I saw quite a few Long-billed Curlews.
There is just something about this Coyote image that makes me feel happy.
I love the stare of raptors because they always appear so serious, intense and they have a no-nonsense look to their eyes like this Red-tailed Hawk has.
For me there is something very serene and peaceful about this west desert Pronghorn image.
Burrowing Owls are one of my favorite subjects to photograph and to get one perched with the Great Salt Lake in the background was wonderful.
Last month while visiting Clark County, Idaho I was able to photograph this Yellow-pine Chipmunk that was on the rail of an old wooden fence.
It is raining here in the valley this morning and snow is falling in the high country in the middle of June so I am sitting here dreaming of Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge.
Just a simple post of an American Oystercatcher about to be awash in sea foam at Fort De Soto's north beach taken back in September of 2008.
I had such a marvelous time photographing the Onaqui herd in May that I just had to share more images from the day with the wild horses.
Yesterday I photographed another lifer! An American Dipper with prey at Cascade Springs in the Heber Valley of Utah.
While in southwestern Montana last week I did see several Bald Eagles and this adult was most obliging as it perched on a conifer in the light of the rising sun.
I photographed this Osprey at Lettuce Lake Regional Park from the observation tower, the Osprey had tried to catch a fish but came up with just the filamentous algae in its talons.
A few days ago I posted about the Northern Mockingbird flight display and today I'd like to share two images of Bahama Mockingbirds photographed in the Bahamas in 2009.
The Lewis's Flax are blooming on Antelope Island right now and to my delight there was a large herd of American Bison and their calves resting and grazing among the wildflowers yesterday morning.
Sawgrass Lake Park in Pinellas County, Florida is a wonderful location for birds and other things with wings including Eastern Pondhawk dragonflies.
