Winter Wonderland 2026

The holidays are behind us, and I'm getting back into my photography routine. This weeks adventure took me to Eleven Mile Canyon, in search of our bald eagle pairs. Unfortunately I was only able to capture one sighting, but a new winter storm has arrived in the area, and I was able to capture a few ghostly images of the snowy landscape.

Joy in the Canyon – Eagles Return

I was fortunate to be there at the exact moment to spot both eagles at the nest to verify the return of both our nesting pair.

Eagles Return

Mama bald eagle has returned to her nest in Eleven Mile Canyon to spruce up for the winter breeding season! It's always exciting to see our breeding pair after a long hot summer!

End of Summer in the Canyon

Summer isn't giving up yet in Eleven Mile Canyon, or probably anywhere in the Colorado high country. Osprey and great blue heron, and even a bald eagle were enjoying the morning along the rich fishing waters of the South Platte River, and many took the time to stop and pose for our cameras on Friday.

We Have Eaglets

WE HAVE EAGLETS - Mama eagle has remained in the nest long past the projected hatch date, so we assumed there were baby eagles to care for. But was it one, two, three? We didn't know until now, but I have confirmed there are at least two!

Springtime in the Rockies: Elk Herd Photography

God was smiling down upon me yesterday when an elk herd appeared out of nowhere to give me an opportunity to finish a video I've been working on!

Last Day for Thundering Hooves

Today is the last day my readers can celebrate Wild Horse Protection Month with a free eBook copy of Thundering Hooves. The month is almost over, and the book will go back to it's regular price starting tomorrow.

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.
