I visited Cave Creek Canyon in southeast Arizona last week. It's a birding hotspot and I was able to add 10 "lifers" to my bird list. Here a few images from that visit.

I found a very cooperative eastern bluebird today at the Rio Grande Nature Center. I think he was happy with the nice weather and didn't pay much attention to me.

I'm back home in New Mexico after a trip to Gilbert, Arizona to bird at the Riparian Preserve and other locations there. Here are a few more favorite images.

I spent most of the first week of 2024 in Gilbert, Arizona birding at the riparian preserve there. (Pix to come). But my favorite image of the week was from a small lake at a golf course I passed by on the way. There were dozens of cormorants and egrets there. When a great egret landed very close to a group of double-crested cormorants the cormorants expressed their extreme dissatisfaction and essentially told the egret to go away. It made for a neat photo.

2023 was a pretty good year for me and bird photography, thanks largely to visits to Costa Rica and south Texas. Click below to see a gallery of my favorite images from this year. (Click on images in the gallery to see them larger and view captions.) Thanks for looking.

I just returned from a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Though I've been there many times, it never gets old. Here are a few photos from that visit.

Though they're not very colorful, I liked the details in these two images from my visit to south Texas in May.

Still going through Costa Rica bird photos. Here's a slaty flowerpiercer in action. These birds have an upturned bill with a sharp hook at the end which enables them to pierce the base of flowers to extract nectar. They are found in mountainous areas above 4200 feet.

I was told by a birding guide that this long-billed thrasher makes these aggressive wing displays as a way of scaring up insects to eat. An interesting way to find lunch.

I was delighted to capture photos of this "lifer" bird for me -- a painted bunting -- on my recent trip to south Texas.

20/05/2023

I just returned from a trip to south Texas in search of some "lifer" birds. In addition to adding 11 new species to my life list, I was able to make a few good photos, including this unique and very fast-moving scissor-tailed flycatcher. I'll post more bird photos from this trip over the next few days.

I've created a gallery of my Costa Rica bird photos on my website. See them here:

I just returned from a productive birding trip to Costa Rica. It was a bird photographer's dream. I added more than 250 species to my life list and shot more than 1.5 terrabytes of images. Here are a few of those images.

I’m happy to share that Presbyterian Healthcare Services has chosen one of my images to hang in their new patient tower at Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque. It’s an image of two playful coyote pups and it’s located on the seventh floor of tower F, which is scheduled to open on January 30.

I love watching birds bathe in a mountain spring. Here's my favorite image from today's shoot -- a wet mountain chickadee. I hope you enjoy it.
