First decent shots of a Marbled Godwit. Surprised I got it in focus considering it was walking. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/378575821

Maybe there is a website where I can request for what drone to spy on me.

Don't know which one I like better..

Got my first good look at a Pipit yesterday, and I kinda like how it turned out! Worth the sand in my cargo pants... https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/373363611

I probably have more and better somewhere, but here's the only one I've uploaded to eBird.

Great photos everyone! male: female :

One male and one female

Posted this before as it was one of my highest rated eBird photos, and made up a .gif of the whole interaction also.

I wanted to share a photo I took in the Catalina's after the Bighorn fire. First snowfall and a Golden Eagle soaring out of the clouds.

Here's one from last January

Gonna slide mine in right at the end... Took this a few days ago. Honestly didn't have too many (good) photos of mallards

Althought not my highest quality Mallard photo, this is my favorite. I took this photo in the mountains between Los Alamos and Cuba, New Mexico, in a seemingly ephemeral puddle/pond (probably snowmelt) beside the gravel road, far from civilization. I don't usually see Mallards in such wild places, so I was pleasantly surprised to see what seems to be a "native." I also love the color of the iridescence on the head of this one.

Hardly ever see this species around, not too many nearby me.

If only he turned around….

Not much of these guys.
