Welcome to my bird and nature photography web site!
This site contains blog posts with my photos and the stories behind the images plus my extensive photo galleries which contain more than 7900 photos of birds, wildlife, flowers and trees along with images of the landscapes I visit. I feel that it is important to tell the stories behind my images.
Wander with me on my photographic journeys via my blog posts and feel free to look through my photo galleries.
Please excuse the fact that not all of my portfolios are complete, I was am in the process of migrating my old photo galleries because the program I was using is no longer working well quit functioning.
I am currently working on moving these remaining galleries:
- Wading Birds (Reddish Egrets and Tricolored Herons)
- Some Landscape and Travel Images
Sage Thrashers, Northern Mockingbird, White-crowned Sparrow and Wild Rose Hips
The birds I photographed on the wild rose bushes were adult and immature Sage Thrashers, an adult White-crowned Sparrow and one beautiful Northern Mockingbird.
Autumn Yellow-rumped Warblers Are On the Move
I've been spotting more and more Yellow-rumped Warblers over the past 10 to 14 days and I am excited because I have been expecting them to start showing up in my viewfinder.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet – Just A Tiny Bird On A Stick Photo
This Ruby-crowned Kinglet had been actively foraging in a tamarisk when suddenly it flew to this bare stick and perched out in the open for a few seconds.
Black-capped Chickadee Plus the Colors of Autumn
Typically I would prefer that all of the body of this Black-capped Chickadee was free of the out of focus elements in front of it but visually the abstract jumble of Autumn colored leaves stimulates my eyes and my brain.
Yellow Warbler With An Injured Eye
I admit that it bothered me deeply that there was nothing that I could do for this Yellow Warbler as it has for the other injured birds I have seen throughout the years that I couldn't help.
Focusing on Ruby-crowned Kinglets in the Wasatch Mountains
Yesterday morning I spent time focused on photographing Ruby-crowned Kinglets in a Wasatch Mountain Canyon in a thicket of hawthorn and chokecherry trees.
Winter Canada Geese – Longing For Cooler, Smoke and Wildfire Free Days
I've spent a lifetime appreciating these large geese and when I have lived in locations where Canada Geese weren't present I have missed hearing them calling overhead or seeing them floating by on the water.
Cutest Bee Flies in the World on Rabbitbrush & Curlycup Gumweed
I photographed some of the cutest, fuzzy Bee Flies in the world this week nectaring on Rabbitbrush and Curlycup Gumweed in the Stansbury Mountains of the West Desert.
Molting Juvenile Spotted Towhee
This time of the year male and female Spotted Towhees have finished raising their broods and their young are learning how to be on their own but they do look a touch ragged as they molt into their adult plumage.
