Waiting in the wind
A Red-Tailed Hawk waiting patiently for a meal to appear in the field below on a very windy day. It always amazes me how birds are able to hang on to the smallest of branches even on the most windy of days. Medicine Bow National Forest, WY.
Goldfinch and Thistle
Seeking seeds on a sunny fall afternoon.
One in every crowd.
It seems like no matter how quietly I try to kayak by and photograph Mergansers there is always one who seem to catch on to the action. Two different groups on two different days same result.
Fall Blues
A streak of blue still lingering in the the browns of fall. Mountain Bluebird in Grand Teton National Park, WY.
White Breasted Nuthatch
There’s got to be a good place for this seed somewhere in this cottonwood tree.

Eyeing Berries
This American Robin is eyeing a vine filled with berries all the while eyeing me trying to discern if it is safe to make his move. After a few minutes assessing the situation this guy flew into the vine out of sight but was definitely heard feasting away on this fall bounty.
mmmmm….berries!
Precarious Perch
When we spotted this Juvenile Black Crowned Night Heron in a tree at sunset he took off flew a quick circle and landed agin on the smallest thinest branch of the tree. Wobbling back and forth flapping his wings to keep steady….kids will be kids.
