A Squadron Of White-faced Ibises Flying Low Over The Great Salt Lake
Groups of birds in flight are hard to photograph well but I like the way this one turned out.

An Entire (large) Family Of Western Grebes
This is one of the very few times I’ve ever been able to get three Western Grebe chicks and both of their parents in the same photo and get them all sharp. The whole fam damily.
Greater Yellowlegs And Their Reflections
A sunny morning, brilliant blue sky, no wind, shallow water and no wildfire smoke – a recipe for nice reflection photos if the birds will only cooperate.
Male Common Goldeneye Becoming Boxed In By An Ice Trap
I’ve documented a relatively insignificant but interesting and even amusing event in the life of a bird and I even managed to get a shot that I often attempt but rarely get with this species.
An Avocet Sandwich
A Black-necked Stilt And The Quirkiness Of Reflections
We often think of reflections of birds in water as being exact upside down copies of the birds themselves but that’s just not the case, even when the water is as smooth as glass. “Mirror images” aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.
Western Grebe With A Fish In Gorgeous Water
For me the water reflections in this image almost steal the show from both the grebe and the fish.
A Black-necked Stilt And A Little Weirdness
These aren’t serious images, in fact I’d probably categorize them as novelty photos. But I still find them visually interesting and somehow they seem appropriate for Saturday morning.
My First Black-necked Stilt Of The Year (and the perils of shooting vertically)
I’ve seen a few Black-necked Stilts around this spring but this is the first one I’ve photographed.
Reflections – They’re Not Quite What They Appear To Be
I believe that many folks think that when there’s a reflection of a photo subject on the surface of water that reflection is an exact upside-down version of the subject itself (unless the reflection is disturbed by irregularities on the water surface). That’s really not the case.
