This pair of Barrow’s Goldeneyes was photographed back in the Grand Tetons National Park in 2023. I don’t know if this was a mating ritual or just some odd behavior I picked up in a couple of the photos.

Is it possible that I have no Green Heron photos on my site? This seems strange to me because they are one of my favorite birds…. Well, let’s remedy this seemingly improbably situation.
Digging through my archives and found a handful of duck photos from my time in Arcata and near San Francisco. I may have shared other photos of some of these and identified them at the time, but for today we’re just going to share an…
I’ve shared some other Black Oyster Catcher photos before, and they’ve all been from Monterey, and these are no different. But I did manage to get a little closer this time. Those yellow eyes surrounded by red stand out so strikingly against those black feathers.
During my visit to Yellowstone I got to see several coyotes. This one entertained a fairly large group of people for a while as it searched this field for anything to eat.
I took these two photos within minutes of each other almost exactly two years ago during a visit to Florida. Both birds are Double-crested Cormorants, but the first one is a juvenile and the second is an adult.
While we’re reliving the Colorado visit, let’s take a look at some lizards. I was not expecting to see lizards in Colorado, so these were always fun surprises.
I might have to schedule another visit to Colorado sometime soon. These critters are back from my visit in 2021.
During my last visit to Florida, I managed to catch some birds with their next generation in different stages of development… See if you can figure out which species are here…
More grizzlies from the Tetons…
The Grizzlies usually take the majority of the attention while in the Grand Tetons, but Black Bears are just as nice to see.
It was exactly a year ago today that I took these videos of these very young Bighorn Sheep – or as I like to call them, Little Bighorns. If you look closely, some of them still have their umbilical cord attached.
I still need to get some better photos of Surf Scoters. They’re weird looking birds with those oversized bills, but I still find them cool. They tend to stay pretty far out in the water, so I’ve found it tough to get any good close…
I’ve seen a few Sandhill Cranes around recently and it reminded me I should share some of the older photos I have of them. These photos are a mix from Hebgen Lake in Montana, and both Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks in Wyoming. And…
One of the geothermal features in Yellowstone (yes, I know I still have yet to share any geyser images), the Mammoth Hot Springs and Terraces area is certainly like being in another world. It is difficult to capture any photos that really encompass the feeling…
