Ok – not technically a duck… and again with the “common” argument… but Loons are one of those birds that I’ve always wanted to see, and they did not disappoint. Such a beautiful bird. And to hear that haunting calls they make – just unforgettable.…

I guess we’re going to do a “Duck Week” here… Today we’ll look at some Cinnamon Teals. I first saw some at the Arcata Marshes in California, and then some more in that same spot where I saw the Ring-necked Ducks I shared the other…
While in Montana and Wyoming, I saw multiple pairs of Common Mergansers. I’m honestly not sure why certain birds get that “common” label. Maybe they were much more numerous in years past because it definitely doesn’t apply to their coloration or patterns…
I first stopped by this little pond where I found these Ring-necked Ducks on my initial drive to Yellowstone from Glacier. I pretty much got lucky again here as I actually spotted some Sandhill Cranes (more on them later) on the right side of the…
Like all the other posts recently, this one was pre-scheduled… and since it is looking like my time in Yellowstone and Grand Teton will be spent in some rather cold camping conditions, I figure I might be dreaming that I was back in the desert…
One of a couple new-to-me species of nudibranchs I got to see and photograph during my last visit to the Pacific Northwest, these Moss Landing Aeolids (Cerberilla mosslandica) are pretty little nudis.
I’m hoping by the time this post goes live, I have a bunch more (and maybe better) bear photos from Yellowstone and Grand Teton NPs, but I figured I’d share this set now. I got a bit lucky with this one – I had done…
Happy Mother’s Day! I intentionally held back a couple of these since they seem fitting for some Mother’s Day photos. Enjoy!
Some Lemon Shark photos from the archives…
There were not a ton of wild flowers out when I was visiting Glacier, but I did find a few… I really like Trillium, we get them around western PA, and I was surprised to see them in Montana. What always bums me about trillium…
Ok – I know you all might be wanting more mountains and national parks, but honestly, I need to write some posts to fill time so I have stuff scheduled while I’m out camping and have no internet access, so I’m going to mix in…
These little guys are tiny. And I mean *tiny*! Though I did have a few dives where I was finding them with ease because basically every piece of seaweed had at least one on it… and I found one large piece that had over 30!…
Just some butterflies from the Bali archives today. Also, if you want, go back and check out the Swift Peacock Swallowtail post from a few years ago…
I shared a couple photos of this species of duck before, but let’s take a look at some more…
