I've photographed plenty of Black-capped Chickadees out west but it was about time to add a Carolina Chickadee gallery to my website. Now I have.
I liked how this image showed great Tufted Titmouse attitude. As small as this species is, they aren't afraid to get in the faces of much larger birds.
This is the same young Barred Owl that I shared in my post yesterday which was photographed at Sequoya National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.
There is an amazing story behind this photo of a fledgling Barred Owl with a crawdad, photographed at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.
For some people, a Blue Jay portrait might be a common image to capture, but for me, it's not common at all. This particular one was taken in Arkansas, not Utah.

Because I was and always will be a Military or Army Brat, I will always identify myself as a Dandelion. I bloom wherever I set down roots.
This morning's coreopsis photo didn't bug me because it had a fly on one of the flowers. In fact the fly didn’t bother me at all.

I meant to share this photo of a Drake Redhead diving weeks ago, but when the loons arrived at my local pond, I completely forgot that I had processed it.
Prickly Poppies are one of my favorite summer wildflowers. I find these poppies in desert habitats, most often in the foothills of sky island mountain ranges.
My problem with Deer Flies is that while living in Utah I became extremely allergic to their bites. Each time I am bitten by the Deer Flies my reaction is worse.
Last month, I was thrilled to photograph this displaying male Yellow-headed Blackbird in an urban park near my home in Salt Lake County, Utah.
I was glad I had my cell phone handy to photograph this hydrangea just starting to bloom when I had no other camera handy.
At the end of April I spent the morning photographing birds at my local pond. This peek-a-boo Osprey was one of my favorites images from that day.
