I take snapshots of birds when I get the chance.  My friend, Dan Elster, is a professional and when he captures an image of a bird….  Well, judge for yourself:

I especially like these two jay portraits.  I see these birds every day.  This is the peanut-craving-crowd that is in our garden daily.  I see them all the time, but through Dan’s fine lens work, we can now all reallllly SEE these common birds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These pronghorn could have been painted by Monet, but instead were fog shrouded apparitions when Dan and I birded in Butte Valley Grasslands, CA.  And now far off in Lower Klamath Wildlife Refuge, we spotted this guy trying to find a meal on the ice.
