      What a phenomenal picture. Of course you only publish the phenomenal ones. The photographer in me wants to know how many hit the cutting room floor before this one!

      Merry, Merry,

    My second ever Ferruginous Hawk! Near Chase Lake NWR in central North Dakota. We found a nest shortly after the photo was taken [May 2021; Canon R5 with Canon 100-500mm lens at 143mm; 1/1250 second at f5; ISO 160; handheld]
    I love backlit aspen leaves...and this Red-naped Sapsucker only makes the scene better. First one I’ve ever photographed. Pinedale, Wyoming city park near nest. [Canon R5 with Canon 100-500mm lens at 343mm; 1/2000 second at f6.3; ISO 2500; handheld] #rednapedsapsucker #pinedalewy #pinedalewyoming #sparkystensaas #thephotonaturalist #woodpeckersofinstagram
    [May 16, 2021] Lonely Sharp-tailed Grouse in central North Dakota. Truly a big landscape that is rich in birds (in spring and summer anyway) [Canon R5 with Canon 100-500mm lens at 186mm; 1/1250 second at f5; ISO 200; handheld; modified in Snapseed] #birdinlandscape #sharptailedgrouse #northdakota #northdakotawildlife #stutsmancounty #sparkystensaas #thephotonaturalist
    [May 15, 2021] A pair of Eared Grebes crosses my path while heading home“ in my floating blind. Well past sunset. The camera sees the subtle colors of twilight better than my eyes! [Canon R5 with Canon 100-500mm lens at 176mm; 1/400 second at f5; ISO 160; on tripod head in floating blind]
