Through the years, my photographic equipment has been (at best) medium quality, my skills with the camera similar, and my good results usually serendipitous. Still, because of the places I've lived, worked, and played, I've collected a number of "pretty good" wildlife shots. These are among my favorites.
Pygmy Owl with Northern Junco - Gresham, Oregon
Bushtits, getting their feet wet - Gresham, Oregon
Whistling swans - Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, California
Steller's sea lions - Kenai Fjords, Alaska
Moose in the wild roses - Dummer, New Hampshire
Brown pelicans and cormorants - Monterey Peninsula, California
Black-tailed deer - Hurricane Ridge, Olympic National Park, Washington
Roadrunner - Tejon Ranch, Kern County, California
Western bluebirds - on the roadrunner rock, Tejon Ranch
Red fox looking in our screen door (no magnification) - Dummer, New Hampshire
The same fox, a little farther away
Young Cooper’s Hawk - Gresham, Oregon
Raccoon - Gresham, Oregon
California condors: young begging adult for food - Sespe Condor Sanctuary, California
California condors: aerial acrobatics - Sespe Sanctuary
And, my all-time favorite shot.
