2025 Nature Calls
This is the most cohesive calendar I’ve ever produced. Check out the images below and the theme should be staring you right in the face. The cover is an homage to the red fox known to many as “Eclipse,” who was struck by a car...
San Juan Island’s ‘Fox War’
GROUND ZERO OF WHAT Iβve come to regard as βthe fox warβ on San Juan Island is called a prairie but isnβt much of a prairie anymore. It has been chewed up by human endeavors such as agriculture, then tunneled under for the warrens of...
The Fox Photo That Started It All
Note: Because of copyright issues, the image referenced is linked in the text. FIVE YEARS AGO, Kevin Ebi was living a nature photographerβs wildest dream. Panning with a camera and long lens trained on a young red fox with a European rabbit in its mouth,...
Short-eared Owls

2024 Nature Calls
I am excited about my 2024 calendar! It features birds and wildlife, all from “near nature,” ie., western Washington state. It reaffirms my commitment to advocating that people don’t have to travel far and to exotic places to explore and connect to nature in an...

Barred owlets spend about seven days with one or both parents after they fledge. This is a look at such a seven-day period in the old-growth forest of Seward Park in Seattle, Washington. Note: Clicking on an image will open a full-sized viewer.

Removing “Audubon”
The Seattle-based conservation nonprofit focusing on birds has received a lot of attention, including in local and national news media, because it is removing βAudubonβ from our organizational name. This is not a helpful place for the spotlight to remain trained. If the focus of...
Nature Calls 2023
This year’s calendar features all birds and wildlife from the Pacific Northwest. The cover is my three-time, award-winning image, which was published in Bird Photographer of the Year, Collection 7, due out in December. It’s a little gruesome, so I didn’t think anyone would want...

This is the third travelogue in a 3-part series. Read part 1, “Nez Perce Trail: BIPOCs & Battlefields & Bears.” Read part 2, “Gentrification of Wilderness” As billowy powder flocked the countryside, Sassia and I squeezed through the Bitterroot Mountains, winding astride Gibbons Pass, then...
Gentrification of Wilderness
This is the second travelogue in a 3-part series. Read part 1, “Nez Perce Trail: BIPOCs & Battlefields & Bears.” Read part 3, “Chasing Liberty on the Nez Perce Trail” Until recently, Iβd refused to even contemplate the phrase βloved to deathβ when applied to...
BIPOCS & Battlefields & Bears
This is the first travelogue in a 3-part series. Read part 2, “Gentrification of Wilderness.” Read part 3, “Chasing Liberty on the Nez Perce Trail” It finally dawned on us after we walked into the La Tinga restaurant in downtown Billings, Montana. There, we met...
