This guy is about 4-inches long. I haven't been a fan of grasshoppers since the 1990s. I don't remember the exact year but Gray Bird Grasshopper showed up in Eastern Kansas and caused plant and crop destruction of biblical proportions.
However, grasshopper anatomy is spectacular with most species requiring 9 molts to reach adulthood. If you like details, zoom in
Gray Peacock-Pheasant isn't all that colorful but when looking at the plumage through binoculars an incredible pattern shows!

The Gray Hawk (Buteo plagiatus) or Mexican goshawk is a smallish raptor found in open country and forest edges. A tropical species that barely crosses the border into Arizona and Texas, the Gray Hawk is an elegant, raincloud-gray raptor with neatly barred underparts.
Its shrill whistle is unmistakable.
This one was observed at eye-level in a Cottonwood Tree.

How can I not post this beautiful bird again? This is a male Northern Harrier nicknamed The Gray Ghost. Isn't he beautiful?

I’m often undecided on whether a scene will look better with direct light, or later with supposedly better atmospheric color. This particular scene loses sun 2 hours before sunset this time of year, so I snapped this just before the sun dipped below a nearby ridge. I wish it was closer to golden hour, but I’m happy with the definition the direct light puts on the various contours of the landscape. I wasn’t confident in the sunset colors happening, which turned out to be a good hunch. I guess I’ll go back and try some other time. . .

____________________________________________
After being shut out the night before by a stubborn storm that refused to break up over Jasper National Park, we had our fingers crossed as we headed back to Maligne Lake the following morning. We all seemed pretty happy with our blue hour shots, but as sunrise approached, it really began to look like we might not see the sun at all that day. I think we had all resigned ourselves to the fact that we were looking at another completely gray day when I glanced up an noticed the faintest wisp of pink on one of the clouds. Sure enough, the sun broke through just enough to throw some fleeting color across the the clouds that were continuing to roll in from the West. I think Tom and I are the ones in our group who really have a problem standing still during moments like this. Both of us went off in all directions at once, and both of us had two camera bodies for just such an occasion. Leaving my D800 on the tripod, I took off running with my D750 and cranked up the ISO a bit while I looked for other comps in addition to what I was getting down at the lakeside.
As I was racing back to my spot in front of the boat house, this puddle caught my eye and I spent the next few minutes trying to shoot if from several different angles with the 14-24. There have been times where I have doubted my run and gun approach, but I usually reserve it for situations where I feel like I've got a decent shot on the tripod before setting of to see what I might be missing maybe just a few steps away. If I had stayed camped out where I was I would have missed this particular shot along with quite a few others. We ALL gave in to temptation two nights before when we had a perfectly good view of the late afternoon sun up at the Opabin Prospect, but curiosity got the better of us and we full out RAN back up the trail to get more shots of the larches behind us. So I think there is something to be said for making sure you KEEP MOVING once you believe you have a decent shot...especially when you might only have another few minutes of good light.
This being said, it helps to be able to TRUST the guys who you are shooting next to. Maybe leaving the camera on the tripod while you run like a maniac in all directions should be reserved for those times when you actually know the people around you...or you might not have a camera when you get back. :)
