Tracking Through The Sands

Around the US West there are seemingly random pockets of sand dunes. This set is close to the Nevada/California border and are a favorite for the ATV crowd. Calle the Big Dunes, they are maybe 300' all and on BLM land.

Weird Shapes In The Alabama Hills

A quick note that if you decide to fly a drone in the Alabama Hills, you need to get a permit from the Bureau of Land Management in Bishop. The good news is they are nice people.

And it's the only way you

A Second After The Mergansers Dove Down

It's not always about getting the birds in frame. Sometime, like this time, I was more captured with the abstract reflections on the lake but decided to keep in the trails the birds left

Alabama Hills And The Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains

It turns out you need a permit to fly a drone in the Alabama Hills so I went through the process last year. The permit is only good for a year s

The Pestering Parasitic Jaeger

Here's a great example of a Parasitic Jaeger living up to its name. It was pestering the tern on the left until the tern dropped its fish in order to get away.

In the very next frame, you can see the fish being caught and subsequ

Surreal LAX And Downtown Los Angeles

I was out on a pelagic birding trip today, where you hop on a boat and look for birds that don't usually come ashore, when I took this surreal, or maybe impressionistic? photo.

The Kite Without A String

Not all kites need strings. This is a White-tailed Kite found by Ballona Creek in Los Angeles. They hover while searching for prey and very much resemble the typical four point kite flown at a beach.

It's my second time spotting

Great Egret Hunting For Brunch

One lesson on birding that pops into my head every time I go out is, "You're not done till you're back at the car".

So many times I've spotted either more birds or nice compositions like this Great Egre

Mountain Pride

If you looked at yesterday's panorama of Columbine Lake, it may have looked like a desolate landscape, barren of all life except the backpackers. At nearly 11,000', not

Zion Hillside

To be honest, I'm only 86% sure this is actually in Zion National Park. There is a little section of the road that actually pops out of he park before popping back in and I might have taken the photo in that area (Canon: please add GPS to the
