Hidden Treasures
As a bird photographer I often strive for images where the subjects are out in the open, without distractions in the fore or background, but as with any photographic "rule", they are made to be broken.

I felt it was time to put the beauty of the adult Burrowing Owls in the limelight.

Pronghorn Photos
Pronghorns are North America's fastest mammal, they can attain speeds of more than 40 miles per hour, with spurts to 70 mph and can out run almost all of their predators.

Sage Thrashers are from the Mimid family. They forage mainly on the ground for insects, though they do eat berries at times.
Lazy Coyote In Utah
We almost missed this Coyote and had to back up the vehicle to take a few photos. The coyote was laying down on a small hill and at first it barely lifted its head and still appeared to be dozing in the morning sunlight.
Burrowing Owl Juveniles
If you have never had the opportunity to photograph Burrowing Owl juveniles I would suggest you find a burrow and be prepared to laugh yourself silly.
