Birds All: Raptors, Songbirds, and Shorebirds

Each of these photographs reveals the beauty and dynamism of birds. Be they raptors or hummingbirds, wading or hovering, the gallery celebrates the movement, color, and freedom that make bird photography endlessly inspiring.

My photographic subjects tend to come in pairs. Do birds perch and nest? Of course! On what? Often snags. Visit my Hooked on Snags blog post to see a 1.5 minute video of this!

See also my video of an osprey hard at work on a nest atop a snag: "One Snag, One Osprey Hard at Work."

From raptors soaring far above, to small birds flittering so as to be hard to photograph, the American West teams with avian life.
