Birds, Words, Pics + TV
During our recent trip to Las Vegas, my wife booked us on a trip to the west rim of the Grand Canyon. It was absolutely amazing.
The west rim is on land owned by the Hualapai Tribe, part of their reservation. It’s definitely less crowded that other parts of the Grand Canyon, which made the trip even more special.
And, of course, I was able to photograph some new birds: Ravens (which are everywhere around the canyon) and a Rock Wren.
Taking pictures of Roseate Spoonbills in different lighting – at sunrise or sunset – really shows the differences in their colors.
I turned a corner on one of the paths and noticed a bit of movement over to my left. There was a red fox, just standing there looking at me.
I photographed a family of American Oystercatchers at Fort DeSoto Park, and I ended up learning a lot about these colorful birds and their interesting backstory.
