A New Year of Photography

A new year of photography is off to a great start with the birds of Eleven Mile Canyon in Southern Colorado. The bald eagles are back in the canyon, red-winged blackbirds are migrating, and I saw a northern shrike hunting in the meadow.

My Year in Colorado: Wildlife Photography Recap

A new year is almost upon us and it seems like a good time to take a look back at 2024, one year in the life of a photographer. Join me in this post as I review a year of pictures in the rugged mountains of Colorado.

Capturing the Majesty of Bald Eagles in Winter

Bald Eagles at Eleven Mile Canyon

It was an awesome, albeit cold morning photographing bald eagles and deer in the canyon. A cold wind was blowing down the canyon from the frozen peaks of the Continental Divide, but we stood in the cold until we were near hypothermia, hoping for the hero shot of one of the great raptors flying down to the river to catch a trout.

Winter Wildlife Photography

Had a good couple of days with some winter wildlife photography using my mirrorless Canon R7. I considered making this post about shooting winter wildlife with a mirrorless camera, so I came up with this... It's just like shooting winter wildlife with a DSLR, so do what you did then. Which is also what I said when DSLR cameras came out. It's just like shooting wildlife with your SLR film camera, so just do what you were doing then. Lol, but then it was pointed out to me that not everyone started shooting wildlife with a 35mm film SLR, and some people never even had a DSLR, so there is that.

The Eagles Return

This is the time of year when I frequently visit the Eleven Mile Fishing Report to check the status of the ice cover. Upon discovering that the reservoir is completely frozen over, I decided to make an early morning visit to investigate the bald eagle nesting pair's return to their winter home in the canyon.

It's the prime time of year for the bighorn sheep rut season. The weather was forecast to be obliging, so we loaded up the bikes and traveled to Waterton Canyon for another bighorn sheep adventure.

Make a Difference: Shop Small This Holiday

Please be sure to support a small business over the holidays this year! Sure, you might be able to save a few bucks at the big box stores, but a unique gift from a small business might be more special, and something not many other people have. Plus your small purchase could make a huge difference to a small business owner.
