Kayaking down the snake river in Grand Teton National Park always presents numerous opportunities to observe eagles and osprey. This immature bald eagle was hanging out in a wonderful old tree along the shoreline in an area with little current allowing me to get a photo or two before I was moved along on my way by the river.
While hiking along the pacific coast on a very windy day we encountered big globs of sea foam, some as big as a softball, being blown up from the sea and over a 50 ft cliff we were looking over. The foamy blobs came whizzing over our heads and then came crashing into the ground. We had a great time watching and trying to capture this experience. Thinking back, these simple experiences that are random and transient directly define the essence of life.

We pulled over to tell these cows they were gonna get wet but they just did’t seem to give a hoot. I on the other hand jumped back into the car and headed the other direction.

A cinnamon teal pair searching the grass looking for the perfect nesting site. Many ducks were paired up and on the nest during our last visit to the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge.
These guys seem to be buddies. In fact, more often than not, I see the Pelicans hanging with the cormorants on this island while kayaking at oxbow bend in Teton National Park.
It is always fun to see species not common to where you live when you travel. Wonderful colors on this acorn woodpecker which was photographed along the coast in northern CA.
At the edge of the many ponds brought about by the spring melt in North Park avocets were hanging out and feeding in the shallow water. It was a treat to see up to 5 or 6 in a single area. This photo was taken on a small pond in the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge. Does this make the Avocets Refugees?
