Amboy, Mojave Desert, California, USA

Oh Boy! Amboy Illinois (population 2,500)

Yeah, I almost cut the top off, but one flew right away. I almost had four of them.

I had a new blind in the trunk of my car for over a year...figured it was time to try it out.

Camino a Amboy - Córdoba. Argentina

An immature bird, lacking red on its wingtips.

I surprised a doe and her fawn. Momma ran away, but the fawn was confused and ran at me.

I hope my id is correct.

Around 10-12 foot away. Yeah, the blind paying dividends.

Only a minute after cleaning out the nest, this House Wren returns with food.

Nine times out of ten I don't get this close to a frog sitting by the bank, especially with a macro lens. I super slowly crouched down in soft mud and got about a foot away. The articulating screen and live view made it easy peasy. Zoom in on his eye and see my reflection.
