A great blue heron hopes for an easy lunch coming down the waterfall. This is a man made channel with really predictable visitors and id really like to go back with a tripod to do even slower shutters next time. I like how these came out but you can only do so far hand held

I spend a ton of time on public land and have found so many special creatures out there. Every one of these portraits was taken at a local open space, BLM land, national forest or somewhere conserved for the public, like national parks.

I think access to these places is a right everyone should have so I’m here to celebrate them. Go check out an open space near you this weekend and advocate for more and more public natural areas!

I have a ton of spotted towhee photos and dislike just about every one of them… BUT the other day I took two photos of them that I actually love and this is the first😁

They hunt for worms and insects in the leaf litter under bushes so, unless they’re singing on top of a bush, you don’t get many clean looks at them. This one had finally gone up to sing but decided it was time to go by the time I got focus. It came out with some cool motion to it that I’m really happy with

Got me a lifer blue-gray gnatcatcher this past weekend and it’s always a treat to be able to get a decent photo in your first encounter with an animal.

These guys aren’t that uncommon in Colorado and I’m sure I’ve seen one before but this is my first positive ID so I’m still excited

One final California Quail portrait. I loved these guys and am determined to find some Gamble’s quail here in Colorado

Confession: I type “quial” and have to correct it to quail every damn time… did it twice in this post alone 😂
