It was November 3, 2008 when I photographed my lifer American Pipits at Farmington Bay WMA while I was on a bird photography trip to Utah.<\/p>\n

I was living in Florida at the time and I enjoyed making trips out west because many of the birds I saw where new to me as a bird photographer. It was exciting to get photos of the pipits and add them to my portfolio and to observe their behaviors while I learned more about them.<\/p>\n

Then in July of 2009 I moved to Utah and started focusing more on the birds I found here and in surrounding western states.<\/p>\n

November 12, 2018 was when I took my most recent American Pipit photos at Farmington Bay WMA, just a little over ten years since I took my first photos of this species.<\/p>\n

I enjoy these tail-bobbing American Pipits<\/span><\/a> every bit as much today as I did the morning I first saw them near Goose Egg Island at Farmington Bay but since I moved to Utah I can see and photograph them more often.<\/p>\n

It is a little hard for me to believe that these two pipit photos were taken almost ten years apart, time has flown by so swiftly.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
