Had the best encounter with a Great gray owl and her owlets that I’ve ever had yesterday. Still pinching myself.

I love to watch birds taking bird baths. It’s among the cutest things nature gives us. Getting to see a Western tanager drop down and take a bath in my parents’ fountain tonight was one of my favorites things.

Ash-throated flycatcher posing in front of a Joshua Tree is the gift I never asked for. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered such an accommodating bird before.

Photographing Trumpeter swans in the high desert is one of my favorite things to do in February each year.

Happy #WorldLizardDay. Remember that all geckos are lizards but not all lizards are geckos.

I placed my phone up against a beer can on a picnic table and set it for a 30-second nighttime exposure.

I am sometimes surprised by what it picks up that I cannot necessarily process with my own vision.

This capture absolutely floored me.

Hutton’s vireos are easy to confuse with Ruby crowned kinglets, but when you can get a good peek at their schnoz, you’ll have a good idea which one it is. The feet can be a tougher field mark at times. This one spent quite a bit of time in the red-flowering currant blossoms.

I had been looking for a cactus wren while driving through Saguaro National Park with no luck. But a quick detour to the restrooms brought me into close proximity of this curve-billed thrasher. So, all was not lost.
