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.

Magically appearing in our Gold Canyon backyard, this Cardinal pair posed for us on the same rock. One of the first images Angie and I created in unison.

Grace allowed me to capture this humminbird mother returning to the nest to feed her chicks at 15 minutes intervals. Thanks to Paul, guru of current happenings at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, I was directed to an otherwise obscure nesting spot.

There’s lovebird fest each evening on the patio of my friends, Louise and Bill. I was fortunate enough to be invited this night when the momma fed the chick in front of my 300mm My Leisure World friends are so awesome!

Only a few hundred of these birds are left in the wild. This one was in captivity and very curious about its own reflection in my lens.

Posing for tourists with their animals and in this case birds, is a way for the Peruvian women to feed their families.

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.
