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.
