Non-natives, Old English Blackneck pheasants were the first to be introduced to North America in 1773. These did not survive. In 1881, 60 Chinese Ring-necked pheasants were imported from Asia into Oregon and did well. Into the early 1900's, more were brought in, mostly from gamefarms in the UK, and were dispersed over 40 states, becoming the state bird of South Dakota.

Why Refuge? This abandoned facility had more wildlife than some of the local parks and wildlife areas... Fox, Deer, hawks and screech Owls to name a few.. quite an interesting night.
This photo was taken with a medium format Mamiya RB67. It is one of the first attempts at night photography on film in medium format... there were quite a few which did not turn out, but, I expected this as I am learning this camera and all the nifty nuances..
This is a magnificent camera, I love the feel and the mechanical nature of it.. it really makes you think about your shot and not to mention, when I see the end results and talk to others, reminds me of how much I need to learn.
I have to say, I am into instant gratification and that is what I love about digital, not so much the ability to toy with photos (albeit that is fun), it is the ability to see that shot right away!
I have since purchased or revived a number of cameras to toy around with Film and I must thank Chocolate Milk for the inspiration and the push to experiment a little more with film again.
So.. thanks Dude, you da man! hehe

Beautiful blue mountain ridges fading toward the approaching sunset. At the Las Vegas NM National Wildlife Refuge.
Images from a sunset at both Lake Illawarra and Barrack Point on the same afternoon.... the heat and humifity at the lake was quite oppressive and that storm cell heading north east was just too interesting not to head over to the ocean to see the show.
Female Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) - West Gator Creek Road, Merrit Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida
This is usually about as close as you can get to one of these guys, but sometimes that's close enough. Actually, in this case, too close. But I corrected for that by shooting 5 additional frames to include enough nothing to create this composite dream-scape.
A Merganser hen swam into the pond reflections, a picture hard to resist. At the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge in western Washington.
Vaseux Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary is located 5 kilometres south of Okanagan falls in the picturesque Okanagan Valley of southern British Columbia. Covering Vaseux Lake as well as some of the surrounding land, the sanctuary is adjacent, and in some areas overlapping, with the Vaseux-Bighorn National Wildlife Area. These two protected areas are unique in Canada as many of the species present within them are at the most northern extreme of their range.

A few days ago I found the Ospreys were in their nest, so I went out before sunset to try to capture them in their nest.
When I arrived, neither were in the nest, so I found a place to stake out the nest and wait. I couldn't find either of them. I started looking around to see if they were sitting on a nearby tree. This one was waiting for me to leave so it could return to its nest.
I tried to explain to him that I only wanted an awesome picture, I wasn't hunting them, but he didn't believe me. So I settled for this picture and a few others. Will have to try again to capture them on the nest.
One of my favourite ever campsites a few weeks ago on the German/Czech border. Huge natural cave, misty morning forest, what more could I ask for?!
