Much negotiation must occur when a meal is acquired. This Bald Eagle couple has some kind of shorebird. 🦅

I admit it: Yesterday's American Kestrel was just a tease for #WildlifeWednesday. This is the same little falcon, only its gender (female) is way more obvious because of the barring on its completely reddish-brown wings and tail feathers.

Making a picture of this magnificent bird, a Virginia Rail, has been on my photographic bucket list. However, I was hoping for a live shot and not with my phone. I found this, beautiful in death, up in Skagit Valley. h/t to @seaclairebird of @seattleaudubon for the ID.

Here's looking at you on #MLKday and #MooseMonday. I was thrilled to have spent a while with these two bulls in a mud wallow along Two Ocean Lake Road in @GrantTetonNPS in the fall.

This is a companion to yesterday's shot, among the first I've taken with the #nikonz9. The Bald Eagle surprised me when I was leaving my car and, although I had too much lens (it was that close), I was immediately able to acquire focus and got an interesting, detailed view of the underside of an eagle. 🦅

For #WildlifeWednesday, this is my first post of an image from the #nikonz9 and I just have to say: it was a miracle to get a day in the Seattle area when it wasn't raining, and it still was really dark and crappy light. Which I guess was the ultimate test. The Z9 tracked like a champ! And for the first time since I went mirrorless, I didn't feel held back by my camera's AF. This scene did not stress the system but, in addition to the two love birds, there were thousands of snow geese streaming by behind them (ie., the dots in the background). 🦅

The first Monday of the new year be like!

It also is the first #MarmotMonday of 2022, and she looks misleadingly fierce here at @MountRainierNPS. It actually takes this much energy to emit their ear-splitting alarm whistles. This close, it sounds like standing next to a referee at the Super Bowl.

Happy #NewYear2022 🎆🥂!

I'd planned to post a completely different image to end #GlennsFave21, but then I found this one. It speaks more to what I hope for 2022: to look forward and find not just the light, but the good light.

In saying goodbye to 2021, I have to say that my favorite subjects of the year were a family of hoary marmots who, over the course of several days at @MountRainierNPS, became so tolerant of my presence. No. 8 of 9 in #GlennsFave21 is a portrait of the mother. If this looks like a painting, it should: I applied an oil painting filter to smooth things out.

Is that a grizzly mama's joy while nursing her two cubs, or is that just me anthropomorphizing? Whatever the case, No. 7 of 9 in #GlennsFave21 was one of the highlights of the year for me. @sashhhhhhh10 and I were blessed with the sighting in Lamar Valley of @YellowstoneNPS during our #NezPerceTrail2021 road trip and the unforgettable scene served as a basis for one of my essays in yesmagazine_ (see link in bio).

This female Belted Kingfisher shaking the life out of her catch is No. 6 of 9 in #GlennsFave21. I moved to shoot a bit into the sun to accentuate the splashing and therefore the thrashing.

Offering a moose shake as No. 5 of 9 in #GlennsFave21, aka my favorite shots from 2021 not previously posted. Maybe they'll offer this flavor somewhere around @GrandTetonNPS where I found this shiras bull moose in Antelope Flats.

Merry Christmas, y'all. This is No. 2 of 9 in #GlennsFave21 and the only Milky Way image I captured all year. These are the Tatoosh Mountains, seen from Mount Rainier National Park and the light pollution (yellow light) I believe is emanating from Packwood. Of course, it also might be Santa’s Workshop.
