I came across this pair of ferrunginous hawks osprey nesting on a platform just outside of Boulder (click images to view larger).

Update: I’ll admit I’m not much for bird identification and I originally thought these were Ferrunginous Hawks – oops!

Some photos from around Boulder this past week…

A red fox with a manky tail gives me a sad look on Mt. Sanitas.

I spent quite a bit of time observing and photographing beavers last summer and one of those photos appears on the cover of a publication from the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, Illinois called The Conservationist.

Here is a link to the current issue where you can see my photo and check out the inside for a nice article on beavers.

Sorry, I’ve been offline for the last few months and just busy with life. I’m really charged up for this summer and there are really exciting things on my schedule including some wildlife shoots and more exhibitions. I’ve also picked up some fun new equipment, which I’ll be talking more about later.

For now, here’s a photo I took walking the beach of Lake Michigan last summer – I hope you like it.
