Adult female leopard at Maasai Mara, Kenya. How would you like to be the subject of that gaze?

Lilac breasted roller in Maasai Mara Reserve. Later afternoon, so sun was really illuminating the colors. Beautiful new sighting for me. #birds

Squacco heron at Amboseli National Park, Kenya. The subtle colors are beautiful on a bigger screen.

A Barn Owl perched in the perfect position for a picture. Always a great day when you see them before it gets too dark!

The juncos are back in town for the season. Saw three with their suitcases 🧳 in my yard getting ready to move in for the season.

I came upon a Male Northern Harrier resting and preening in a quiet moment yesterday morning along the Sonoma Coast. I was able to spend about 45 minutes watching it sitting in the early morning light on my way to Jenner Hawkwatch.

Nothing too special today, but practicing candid shots at birdbath. Black-capped chickadee and molting goldfinch.

From winter, 2024. Black capped chickadees tussling for a landing spot.

Digging through the archives a bit. I love migration season when we get to see waterfowl who aren’t always around. We get common mergansers most of the time and sometimes a breeding pair sticks around. This was from early spring, 2023.

Returned from a magnificent trip to the Galapagos Islands in May. I thought some might appreciate the photos. They are wonderful at protecting their fragile environment. Blue footed booby taken from a Panga boat ( we know as zodiac ).

We like the northern cardinal here very much. For me, winter is a great time to get photo captures as they are puffed-up to protect from the cold. This is a female taking a quick perch. Note the frost.

I have a divided opinion on blue jays. They Sara an aggressive bird, but beautiful from a photographer standpoint.
