Mr. Finch
Extracting tiny seeds from a dried thistle seems like a tough way to earn your keep but this finch is a master of his trade. We watched as this guy quickly pulled seeds from the dried thistle and had himself quite a meal. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.

Waiting in the wind

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.
