Kingfishers are one of those birds that I have so rarely been able to get photo of, and even more rarely good photos. This female belted kingfisher (you can tell it is a female by the rusty band across her belly) was photographed at the…
Not too far from where we were photographing the ospreys hunting, I spotted a beaver swimming in a small pond. We took a few shots that day and then returned the following day to get some more…
Because, why not?
Ok – while we’re at it, here’s an assortment of underwater shots from Washington…
It has been quite hot and humid recently even though I’m not in Florida, but while I’m thinking about Florida, here is an assortment of bird photos I took in 2021 while I was there…
Bear Jams are both a blessing and a curse in multiple ways. On one hand, it makes it a bit easier to know that there is something worth stopping to photograph when there already are a bunch of other cars pulled off the side of…
Basically the last thing I did in Yellowstone NP was to go for a short hike with Aaron. We were both reluctant to solo hike anywhere in the park due to the bear activity (really – it would have been stupid and reckless to do…
My first full day in Grand Tetons NP, I got to see grizzly #610 and her triplets… Enjoy.
I’ll apologize now, but today’s photos and video are really just for the stories, but bear with me (pun 100% intended!). These are the first wild grizzly bears I ever got to see and photograph (though that’s kind of a technicality). This is one of…
A couple of my exposures during some time lapses run into sunrise… and while they don’t work so well for the time lapses, they ended up with an interesting abstract effect that I like for some reason that I can’t quite identify…
While hiking in Montana (technically outside of Glacier NP), I managed to get a handful of really nice shots of this squirrel. I think what makes it work the best is the backlighting…
I know a loon is already black and white, but I feel this processing just draws it out so much nicer… You may recognize these photos from the other loon post…
Of course, the hovering ospreys were nice, but the real treat was seeing them dive for fish. I unfortunately never good a good shot of one diving – every time I either couldn’t keep it in the frame properly or my camera decided to change…
One of the days in Grand Tetons National Park, there were several ospreys hunting where the Snake River flows out of Jackson Lake (right at Jackson Lake Dam). They were completely unconcerned with the small crowd of photographers that had gathered at the walkway there.…
