Some mallard ducklings. My first time having such a good angle and distance with ducklings.

Ever see a hummingbird pee? Now you have.

My first Rufous Hummingbird. That copper plumage is dazzling.

I am very fond of these little ladies (who may possibly be juvenile males).

A very handsome mallard. He knew he was hot stuff.

I'm really happy with these. It was such a cool moment seeing this river otter climb up on a submerged log.

Stepping and snacking.

I just can't get enough Steller's jays

I was able to photograph river otters twice in December alone. I can't believe my good fortune.

Brewer's blackbirds always look like they disapprove of your joke.

Drove 110+ miles to Dean Creek to see elk, I saw otters and elk. Worth the drive

Found a baby rough skinned newt on the sidewalk right in front of my apartment. So I relocated it around back near a ditch with some cover.
