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 7300 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.
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
Photographing Shorebirds at Eye Level
Taking photographs of shorebirds at eye level was very fulfilling for me and the images that resulted from my down & dirty technique have always made me feel an intimate connection to the birds.
Antelope Island Pronghorn Buck Sniffing The Wind
I always enjoy taking photos of the pronghorns on Antelope Island State Park and appreciate the fact that they are approachable and far less skittish than the pronghorn I have encountered in quite a few other locations.
Horned Lark Stretching His Left Wing
I like this photo for the eye contact, the fine details in the plumage of the bird, the stretched wing, light and how his one foot is raised, plus I think Horned Larks are beautiful songbirds.
Photos Of Owls In Flight
I spend a lot of time in the field looking for, observing and photographing owls and obtaining photos of them in flight can often be frustrating when I have the opportunity but very fulfilling when I accomplish my goal.
I Would Love To Photograph THIS Red-tailed Hawk In Good Light Just Once
This particular Red-tailed Hawk has such a striking appearance and not one of the photos I have taken of it thus far show just how freaking gorgeous it actually is.
Signs of Spring: Yellow-bellied Marmots
I get excited to see and photograph my first Yellow-bellied Marmots of the years, sunning on rocks, scurrying along a hillside, nibbling on fresh spring grasses or calling out an alarm because a raptor is flying overhead.
Wild Turkey Tom Strutting and Displaying Plus Memories Turkeys Arouse In Me
Breeding season has begun for Wild Turkeys so when I spotted a flock of them yesterday in the Stansbury Mountains in Tooele County I was hoping to photograph a tom turkey strutting.
Spring Dark-eyed Junco Small In The Frame
I was only able to photograph one of the Dark-eyed Juncos I saw yesterday because it was the only one that stayed still long enough for me to raise my lens, focus and fire my shutter button, the rest were way too skittish.
