Bison, Kestrels, and Pintails
I spent the yesterday morning photographing with two great friends at Antelope Island State Park and Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area and had a wonderful time.

Raising the glass attached to my camera that is! I'm excited about the photographic opportunities that will present themselves in 2015.
Yesterday was another interesting day on Antelope Island seeing snow-covered Bison, snowy weather, birds and spotting Coyotes at a Mule Deer carcass.
Yesterday morning started out gray and cloudy on Antelope Island and I photographed a few Bison bulls grazing and charging each other.
It has been a while since I have seen Pronghorn on Antelope Island State Park close enough to photograph so I was delighted when they were within my focal range.
I can't help but feel sad that we haven't had and good snow here in the Salt Lake Valley yet this year so I went hunting for a snowy Coyote image.
The light and clouds looked iffy this morning but Antelope Island didn't disappoint when it came to bison and birds plus some dramatic light.
Today I spotted a Long-tailed Weasel in its winter coat but the light wasn't great and the whole area was socked in by fog.
Time got away from me today and I am feeling a little squirrely tonight so I thought what better to post than an Eastern Gray Squirrel?
In August I was contacted about the use of my peeing Coyote image for Dave Barry's 2014 Holiday Gift Guide and since I am a fan I decided to allow them to use it.
Today there are great big clouds with small patches of blue sky but two years ago it was very different, we were having a blizzard.
I am very fortunate to live in an area where I can see these beautiful creatures up close and that is some thing I don't take for granted.
There is an article about the coyote bounty program in the Salt Lake Tribune that has me ticked off, or should I call it the ignorant name the state gave it, "Mule Deer Preservation Act".
75,326 coyotes in 2013 were "denied" their portion of Nature's gifts when they were senselessly exterminated by USDA’s Wildlife Services
This male Red-winged Blackbird was photographed yesterday at Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area.
Two years ago during the worst of the summer heat I photographed this Coyote and watched while it was pestered and probably bitten by a persistent Deer Fly.
This young Raccoon looks as grumpy as I feel this morning.
I thought I would share another American Badger portrait that I took back in May of this year on Antelope Island State Park in northern Utah.
Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.
Yesterday the light wasn't great in the morning but I did get out to take some images an Antelope Island and there were plenty of pollinators out and about.
When taking any photograph it is possible to be photobombed and I have had my share of those including these two bird images.
Two years ago today I was in Glacier County, Montana photographing sparrows, partridge, Swainson's Hawks and White-tailed Deer.
I've compiled a medley of images this morning of bees, moths and hummingbirds that I have photographed this past week to share this morning.
Late last month I posted about Two Moose on the Loose in the Targhee National Forest and today I thought I'd share two more images of the moose.
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.
Today I am focusing on older posts that have wildlife in them starting with Loggerhead Turtles then going to a Moose, a Midget Faded Rattlesnake and Red Fox kits.
Every time I see this image of this Richardson's Ground Squirrel I have to laugh because of how full its mouth is.
There is just something about this Coyote image that makes me feel happy.
For me there is something very serene and peaceful about this west desert Pronghorn image.
