Utah Prairie Dogs at Bryce Canyon (6 images in album) (click image to view album) I spent a little time on my days off last week photographing hummingbirds and Utah Prairie Dogs (Cynomys parvidens) not far from home. The hummingbirds, actually, were only a few feet outside my front door, the prairie dogs about 1/2 [...]

Red Crossbills & More (click image to view album) Not a lot of species variety around the bird bath this morning (at least until I decided it was too windy, then the grosbeaks and tanagers showed up), though the Red Crossbills do come in a variety of different plumages. Clicking on the photo above takes [...]

Winter at Bryce Canyon 2010 (click image to view album) It was a long Winter, too. If I have any regrets, it would be that I didn’t get out more for photography. Looking back, however, it seems like many of my days off were spent either: a.) digging myself out or, b.) waiting out another [...]

Williamson’s Sapsucker – Bryce Canyon NP (click image to view larger) I never get many opportunities to photograph this species because, of all the birds that visit my birdbath, I don’t think any are as shy. Both the male and female Williamson’s Sapsuckers (Sphyrapicus thyroideus) will fly to a nearby tree and closely survey the scene [...]

Red Fox – Bryce Canyon National Park (click image to view larger) From the summer of 2008, here’s another look at one of the Red Fox kits that were in a culvert underneath one of the park roads here at Bryce Canyon. Of course I looked many times last summer to see if the parents [...]

Utah Prairie Dogs in the Snow – Bryce Canyon National Park (click image to view larger) This is my third Winter at Bryce Canyon and it has been around the third week of February that the Utah Prairie Dogs (Cynomys parvidens) make their first appearance after going below ground in late October. It will be interesting [...]

Northern Goshawk – Bryce Canyon National Park (click image to view larger) For the final “Wings on Wednesday” for 2009 I thought I would pick my choice for the best bird to visit my bird bath this past summer. No doubt that I had some great birds visiting, including Black-headed Grosbeaks, Evening Grosbeaks, flocks of [...]

The Tiptoe Tree Bryce Canyon National Park (click image to view larger) It’s possible that this is one of the most photographed trees in all of Utah. I can think of a couple of candidates, one in Bryce Canyon and one in Zion, that quite possibly have been photographed more, but this tree would still be [...]

Wild Turkey – Bryce Canyon National Park (click image to view larger) Hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
The movement for the conversation of wild life and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method.
