If there’s a bird I love to photograph more than the great blue heron I honestly don’t know what it would be. The American white pelican would be a very close second, maybe even tied for my favorite photography subject, but if the truth is known there isn’t a bird I spend more time seeking ..read more

I don’t know about you but mentioning the word beaver in the same sentence as the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge seems, well, a bit odd to me to say the least.

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.

Let me start by saying being a nature blogger, yes, that’s a real thing by the way, is an interesting endeavor, to say the least, and here’s why. I never, ever know what, if any actually, photos and stories I’ll be coming home with on any particular trip around the famous Bear River Migratory Bird ..read more
