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.
The birds didn’t seem to care about the holiday, and the humans seemed to be sleeping in for it.
These birds are so common that sometimes it’s easy to take for granted their residency at the Orlando Wetlands.
These striking black-and-white raptors fly to Florida in the summer from South America. To paraphrase an old Delta Airlines commercial, these birds love to fly and it shows.
