Swan walking on water

Posted By Tyler Allred

Taken yesterday, in Heber Valley. I was able to sneak up fairly close to this bird. It was swimming in a section of the newly restored Provo River, which has only had water in it for a couple of weeks.
Cheers,

Taken yesterday, in Heber Valley. He was watching me pretty closely as I approached, but relaxed after a few minutes.

Major League Mule Deer

Posted By Tyler Allred

This was taken yesterday, at the edge of Heber Valley. This is one of the largest bucks that I have ever had the opportunity to photograph. His antlers are just massive, with wonderfully long tines, including the brow tines.

Amorous Buck

Posted By Tyler Allred

The big bucks are really showing up here in Utah. The rut is in full swing, and even the smart old bucks are acting like foolish teenagers..... and thinking about LOVE!
This shot was taken this morning in Provo Canyon.

Fire in the Utah sky tonight

Posted By Tyler Allred

The sunset was simply unbelievable tonight. The bottoms of the clouds lit up just like fire. I was in Provo Canyon and had to pull over for a few frames. I'm glad I did.

This image is resized only. The color is straight off the camera.

Bald Eagle in Flight

Posted By Tyler Allred

This immature (3rd year) bald eagle has been hanging aroung the project site for the past few weeks. Today I managed to get in close and shot a burst as he left the area. I was lucky enough to get several good frames. This one is my favorite.

I found this muskrat hanging out in the shallows a few days ago. It was fun to watch it for a while.

Bald Eagle Getting Harassed

Posted By Tyler Allred

I missed the shot of this bald eagle swooping in to take a fish, but I managed to get a photo of the magpies harassing it later. The magpies remind me of telemarketers during my meals! smile
