  • Hello Old Friend

    I don’t photograph urban Coyotes in the summer months. In the city, they’re mostly active around dawn and dusk, and I don’t quite have it in me to wake up at 5 am on the weekends. So as the days have been getting shorter, I’ve started looking for my favorite Coyote family. It took me…

  • Poised

    A Great Blue Heron watching and waiting for a fish to swim by. I don’t usually get too fancy with foregrounds, but when I saw a tiny window in some greenery between me and the heron, I figured out a way to get just its head un obstructed and was pretty happy with the result.

  • Sitting Pretty

    When the tundra looks this stunning, you have to sit extra adorably to compete. This is the September image from my 2026 calendar, which is now for sale! I’ve been creating a calendar for friends and family for the past three years. After three years of refining my photography and searching for the right print…

  • Resilience

    When wildlife lives at the interface between civilization and the natural world, they have extra threats to deal with, from vehicle collisions to entanglement in fencing and other human-created objects.

    A Tule Elk bull showing off some decorations on his headgear.

  • Chonked Up For Winter

    Psst! You’ve got a bit of Star-Tipped Reindeer Lichen on your nose. Up… up … up a bit more. There you go.

  • Daydreaming

    A Bobcat lost in thought. Maybe she’s thinking about her next meal? Or maybe she’s pondering how she ended up with a photographer pointing a camera at her despite her camouflage perfectly matching the dried grasses.

  • Angel of Death

    From this spring, a Great-Horned Owl lands on his favorite perch before starting his evening hunt. I had hoped to do create an even better version of this photo, but right after I figured out the perfect composition, the owl shifted his pattern and stopped using this perch to start his night. On that evening,…

  • Deep Breath

    An American Bison bull displays the flehmen response, as he checks a cow to see if she’s still in heat at the tail end of the rut. The cow, she was completely uninterested.
