I know what you’re thinking with a title like that and, well, I admit it does sound quite strange to even consider burning habitat to help birds, doesn’t it? Trust me, exactly 5 years ago when I was given access from the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge to follow and photograph federal firefighters as they ..read more

Well, my fellow birdwatchers, after a long, cold winter it is starting to happen, spring is finally…, wait, let me pause here so I can say it again with gusto, ‘finally’ close enough to start knocking on the proverbial door. The natural phenomenon of spring bird migration is what I personally refer to as my ..read more
