As I was planning my trip across the southern USA, I noticed a moderately large green spot on the map between Tucson, AZ (where I was visiting Saguaro NP) and El Paso, TX (where I planned to spend a night before visiting Guadalupe Mountains NP…

This Palm Warbler was nice and cooperative to let me get some good close shots…
Something I was not expecting to see while in Saguaro National Park was raptors. I mean it makes sense once you’re there and see how much wildlife – especially birds – is actually in the park. It is still desert, but it was significantly more…
Somehow I have not yet posted any photos from my stop in Badlands NP? To be honest, my time there was a bit less than I had hoped it would be. After adjusting my time in Yellowstone and hitting Grand Tetons a bit earlier, I…
On my way to Yellowstone NP, I stopped in a small area north of Hebgen Lake – my car’s GPS really wanted me to take a different route, but I decided that this road looked more promising and I was not disappointed. I actually returned…
Sorry – I am being extremely lazy about processing new photos, so you’ll have to make do with some more from the archives. Today we’ll look at some shots of some Yellow-bellied Marmots (Marmota flaviventris) taken on a hike at Jenny Lake in Grand Teton…
It isn’t often that birds swim *towards* you, but this Common Murre decided to swim over and take a closer look at my GoPro…
While in Playa, we did a tour of mangroves of Sian Ka’an biosphere preserve. We saw several ospreys including a couple on their nests… and if you look really closely, you’ll see a baby in a couple of the photos. Our guide told us it…
When we first saw these wandering around Mexico, we thought they were capybaras, but apparently they are a different rodent called Agouti. They were about the size of a small dog (well, considering we were in Mexico – the land of chihuahua, they would be…
Ok – this officially wraps up the last of my Madagascar photos… (unless I manage to go back)
While we’re in the archives, I figured I’d share a few more of these…
Been seeing a bunch of these this year, which is nice because I consider them the 3rd prettiest ducks. I’ll have to keep trying for closer and better photos in better lighting to really show off their colors. This group started pretty far away, but…
A few shots of some of the birds I’ve seen recently… including some Common Loons and Horned Grebes in their winter colors (I managed to photograph both in their summer breeding colors in Glacier National Park earlier this year).
I decided to take a trip back to Wolf Rocks to see if I could find some more rattlesnakes and was not disappointed. I was surprised to realize it has been over 3 years since I first photographed the rattlesnakes there. This time I managed…
