I watched this bald eagle get continuously get chased off for getting too close the crow’s nest.   I found it amazing that a raptor this large would flee from the little crow. However  I’ve seen this drama play out similiarly with humans.  ]]> 0 Cardinal Pair, Gold Canyon AZ http://jwestphotography.com/birds/cardinal-pair-gold-canyon-az/ http://jwestphotography.com/birds/cardinal-pair-gold-canyon-az/#comments Wed, 29 Jun 2011 02:40:42 +0000 jwest http://jwestphotography.com/?p=1928 Female and Male, AZ Cardinals,2011 Order a Print

A dear friend urged me to come to her home and capture the quail family drinking from the water bowl her husband filled each evening. I never expected a family of 7 chicks to line up so perfectly or be graced with a mirror reflection. Truly a once in a lifetime photo. ]]> 0 Peacock Flirting http://jwestphotography.com/birds/peacock-flirting/ http://jwestphotography.com/birds/peacock-flirting/#comments Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:19:27 +0000 Joanne West http://jwestphotography.com/?p=364 Original photo AZ Order a Print

Titled Uccellino which means little bird in Italian, because it’s colors green, red and white are the same as Italy’s. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time carrying hopes for love, joy and celebration. Their delicate grace reminds us that life is rich. beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is lifes sweetest creation. ]]> 0 Broadbilled Hummingbird http://jwestphotography.com/birds/broadbilled-humming-bird/ http://jwestphotography.com/birds/broadbilled-humming-bird/#comments Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:16:42 +0000 Joanne West http://jwestphotography.com/?p=350 Original photo 2000 Order a Print
