Canada Goose – “The Executioner”
Canada Goose Flying Through Thick Falling Snow
From my winters living in Montana I remember what it’s like to drive through snow like this. Flying through it in flocks of other birds must be even more harrowing, in part because of its three dimensional challenges in significantly reduced visibility.
Male Common Goldeneye And An Illusion Of Softness
In bird photography a variety of factors can cause our birds to appear soft when they’re actually sharp or at least sharper than they appear to be.

Drake Hooded Merganser Out Of The Water
Female Mallard In Flight Series

Some Seasonal Plumage Changes In Male Cinnamon Teals
Yesterday morning at Bear River MBR I encountered a male Cinnamon Teal that had me a little confused at first.
Bathing Cinnamon Teal x Green-winged Teal Hybrid
Mated Pair Of Cinnamon Teals Having An Animated Conversation
I took a huge chance and used the dreaded Shadows/Highlights tool in Photoshop on this image in an effort to save it.
